 The Democratic State convention, consid>
 ering it's struggles of the evening before, looked tolerably refreshed ou it's assembling

 the New Haven and Hartford county caucus
 es. Following is the ticket nominated by the
 conyention-State and electoral:

 The COURIER yesterday morning stated \ that Judge L. B. Morris of this city would \ probably be nominated for governor and hit \ much nearer the mark than most of its New Haven contemporaries. It said also that \ there would be hard fight between his | friends in the New Haven county delegation; | and those who were in favor of French, which was correct again. With the excep- ton of one other morning paper in the State ! the COURIER was the only paper that pre- NJ Il o&a1 &I,oAH ha fho Everything was an uncertainty when the delegates awoke yesterday. They were all waiting for the New Haven county delegates ' to have their caucus. The movement of Caleb B. Bowers the night before in getting the caucus adjourned until yesterday morn
 strength to the Morris boom.
 The New Haven county delegates met in caucus at g o'clock in the parlors of the Ton- tine. Mayer Boughton of Waterbury pres sided. Ex-Senator Bowers in few words presented the name of Judge Morris as the preference of New Haven county for candi- date for governor. He said that there was no scheme behind the adjournment of the night before. George N. Morse of Meriden presented the name of Congressman French. That there was not harmony in the caucus was apparent. The forces were about equal ly divided. MT. Morse said that if Congress man French was nominated the Democracy would have a man who is we'll known and whose name is not confined to any one town or city. MT. Bowers immediately resented any such imputation to Judge Morris' name. name. He said the gentleman from Meriden
 must be unfamiliar with the politics of the State. He had nothing against Congressman French, but he said if the Democracy want E ed to avoid antagonistic politics Judge Nor ris should be nominated. He desired that the delegates avoid what would be basis
 for more political hostility in the party. Attorney Burton Mansfield of this city
 seconded Judge Norris nomination, and this made MT. Morse say good many fiery things before 8 ballot was taken. The ballot result ed: Morris 19, French 15, w. H. Steven son i.
 Mir. Morse then moved that the choice of the New Haven delegation be made unani- nous for Morris, which was done.
