The delegates to the republican town
convention met at the republican head
quarters in the Exchange building last
night. There were about seventy delegates
present.
Chairman James Bishop Of the town
committee called the convention to order
and Police Commissioner Carlos Smith was
chosen president. F. II. Coggswell was
chosen secretary. A committee Of three,
consisting Of William S. Beecher, J. Birney
Tuttle and George R. Bill, were appointed
upon credentials
The first business was the nomination of
candidates for selectmen. J. Birney futile
moved to nominate four candidates. Will
liam P. Niles, however, spoke strongly
against this. He said it had not been
proven wise by experience to have four
candidates in the field. He thought that
no opportunity should be given to voters
to scratch any one Of the republican can
didates.
Alderman Alexander Foote hoped the
convention would put in nomination four
good men, and thought that no hinching
from the issue should be exhibited.
Attorney Miles withdrew his objections
and the motion was passed with no oppo-
sition.
Mr.. Farnham of Westville put in nomi-
- nd
this was seconded by Alderman Foote and
motion was made by George R. Bill that
the secretery be instructed to cast the bal
lot of the convention for Mr.. Beecher.
This was unanimously passed. Mr..
Beecher declined positively, for, said he, I
was SO sat upon by the convention a year
ago that cannot consent to have my
name used now. Mr.. Beecher's Withdraw
al was not accepted by the committee and
he was unanimously for first selectman.
Attorney Niles nominatee Major b. ii.
