Sharpening story - Dewey and the

AT the First Congressional district re-
publican convention held in Hartford yes
terday, Congressman William E Simonds
was renominated by exclamation. There
was no opposition. It was very enfhn-
siastic convention and the result cannot
but be very pleasing both to Mr.. Simonds
and his many warm personal friends
throughout the state. Mr.. Simonds is
self-made man and has well won the hon
orable place he occupies He has been
and is man of untiring industry coupled
with unusual natural abilities and force of
character The resolutions adopted by
the convention 'sreiterates our devotion
to the American protective tariff system
as q safeguard to American workingmen
and American manufacturing interests"
commends the new republican tariff bill;
approves of Blaine's reciprocity measures
as means of enlarging our international
trade, while the protective tariff is left In
full vigor, and ENHANCEMENT with foreign
nations is avoided: eommends the refor
nation in procedure in congress by which
the transaction of necessary and impor-
| tant public business can now be accom-
plished Sin the face of a perpetual and
powerful obstruction" endorses MIR.

To-day the democrats in the Fourth dis

says: 1.-The only name prominently con-
nected with the nomination is that of Rob-

date" Of course the Litchfeld county
| delegation has the power to smash the
slate. Litchfield county has eighty-two
delegates, Fairfield only sixtyfour.

The New London Telegraph admonishes
its democratic readers as follows: 1.-The
democrats of Connecticut must get the idea
into their brains that to succeed they must
work: and 10 work effectively they must
begin Understandings"
The Waterbury Republican says: 1t is
not difficult TO suggest an explanation of
J the topics touched upon in the platform.
That platform is a document of bitter, in
discriminate and incorporate denunciation
of republican progress and republican
achievements Its temper must be alieI
and repugnant to the Judicial and serene
mind Of Mr. Norris 1t was, of course
necessary for him to endorse the platform
be that endorsement never so faint; and hi
naturally found it easier to gulp the whole
thing down in jump than Ito review th'
/ | platform in detail"
