 The delegates elected at the democratic primaries met in the police court room last night and elected delegates to the county convention. c. G. Root, chairman of the town committee, called the meet ing to order, and Patrick Hayes and John $. Neagle were appointed chairman and secretary respectively. A committee of four, one from each ward, were appoint ed on credentials. They were, John H. Reid, Henry Flanagan, D. J. Mahaney and John c. Claffey. They reported the full number of delegates present. The meeting then proceeded to elect four delegates to the convention, balloting one ward at a time. On the informal ballot for the first ward dele gate, Thomas Moran received IT votes and John H. Reid ,. Mir Moran's elec- tion was made formal and unanimous. In the second ward T. H. Hayes re- ceived 16 votes and Patrick Hayes 6. The election of the former was also made formal and unanimous. In the third ward James Horigan received 15, D. J. Mahaney and John McAuliff l. In the fourth J. s. Fay received l5, John Claffey 1, blank ,. The election of Messrs Horigan and Fay was made unanimous, after which the meeting ad- journed.
 Mark S. Chipman presided over the third ward republican caucus last night, and Col J. B. Doherty was chosen secretary. Mark $. Chipman received thirty-three votes for alderman, the full number cast. He declined the nomina tion, but his objections were overruled and he was finally forced to accept. Five couucilmen were nominated as follows IS. B. Mum, Daniel D. Gregory, Charles J. Griggs, Louis Feldt, Sumner A. Holt.
 Sheriff Gates announced positively | yesterday that he was not a candidate for renomination. No reason is given only that he considered that he had held the office long enough. In case Mir Gates adheres to his decision it is generally thought that County Commissions Dunham will secure the republican nomination.
 Leading democrats of Litchfeld county are also in the field. They have named Judge Augustus H. Fenn of Winchester, as a candidate for governor. He is at present one of the superior court judges, and he is a veteran soldier | who lost an arm in battle.
 Bristol is reported to have elected Bulkeley delegates to the republican convention. Portland has also elected Bllkeley delegates to the state con vention.
 It would be we'll for those wishing to be made voters at the next presidential election to procure their first papers inn mediately. The papers will mature October 31 1899, and unless the matter is to tended to now it will be too late.
 It is probable that either F. J. Brown or o. B. Webster will run for first select man on the democratic side, backed by Maurice F. Carmody for second place. It is hinted that Mir Brown may not ac- cept the nomination.
 For representatives on the democratic side the names most prominently mem tioned are Charles G. Root and Prof J. 4. Moran.
 1t is understood that First Selectman Boughton has had enough and will not accept a renomination. E. w. Pinney can have the nomination of the republi- can party, by saying the word, and he may be induced to run. In national politics Mir Pinney is a democrat. In local affairs he has kept aloof from both sides.
 The indications are that no matter who Is nominated for governor, by the democrats, John J. Phelan of Bridge port will receive the nomination for secretary of state. The Waterbury del egates are for the popular and talented young Bridgeporter, who is well and favorably known here.
