THE POLITICAL ARENA. More Candidates for Governor on the Democratic Ticket - Ex-Senator
 Eaton to Figure i'm the Convention- l Sheriff Gates out of the Race-The
 Fairfield County Shr1evalty.
 As stated in the Courier's telegraph1c dispatches yesterday, Fairfield county democrats present the name of the Hon. James w. Hyatt of Norwalk, late United States treasurer, as democratic candidate for governor.
 ! Leading democrats of Litchfeld county are also in the field. They have named Judge Augustus H. Fenn of Winchester as candidate for governor. He is at pres ent one of the superior court judges, and he is veteran soldier who lost an arm in battle. The Hagtford Times warmly en- dorses and eulogizes Judge Fenn, while speaking also in praise of MT. Hyatt and of Judge Morris of New Haven.
 So our democratic brethren will have three names to choose from at their con- vention at Allyn hall, Hartford, next
 The New Haven Union goes so far as to prophecy. It says last evening: "Just watch and see how near this prediction as to the complexion of the demscratic state ticket this fall comes to being true: For governor, Luzon B. Morris of New Haven; lieutenant governor, Dr. J. w. Alsop of Middletown; secretary of state, John J. Phelan of Bridgeport; treasurer, Marvin H. Sanger of Canterbury; and comptroller, Nicholas Staub of New Milford"
 EATON A DELEGATE.
 uo, merry war goes on. The democratic eau GUS in Central hall last evening was of the usual type, good deal going on and great fuss over it. The caucus did suc- ceed in defeating Hon. A. E. Burr as one of the candidates for delegate to the state convention, substituting Hon. Alvin P. Hyde in his place. But perhaps the most remarkable action, taking all things into consideration, was the selection of ex-Sen- ator Eaton as delegate"
 SHERIFF GATES OUT OF THE PACE. High Sheriff Gates announced yesterday to one of his deputies that he is not in the race for renomination. MT. Gates will have been sheriff seven years when his term expires June 1, 1891. He was first elected for three years, defeating MT. Tom linson. He succeeded Sheriff By1bee. He was renominated, and defeated James Key holds, the second term being for four years in order to conform to the biennial sessions of the legislature. MT. Gates declination tos run gives a fair chance for the friends of Commissioner Durham to secure for him the nomination for sheriff Sheriff Gates is well fixed 6nan- cially, and it is believed has yielded to the | wishes of his family to leave the field of politics for the present at least.
 FOR SHERIFF'S HoNoRs. BRIDGEPORT, Sept. 9.-Much interest is | centered in this city over the shrievalty contest which will occur this fall. Ex- have an eye on the place now held by Sher- | if Clarkson, and odds are taken that he will receive the republican nomination for l Standard IA Solid Republican" comes out strongly advocating Marsh's nomina | ton.
 A LITTLE STORY.
 The following story which is interesting only because of it's ingenuity and absurd l ity, was printed in one of our morning contemporaries yesterday: It is in 'brie1 that Bulkeley is not to oppose Merwin'' nomination or election, but with Sam Fes
 senden is to work to carry the legislature for the democrats, the idea being to bea
 Senator Platt by electing a democrat
 Then two years hence, when Senator
 Hawleys term expires, MT. Bulkele,
 will come forward and offer to redeem
 the state, provided he is given the sena
 torship for his trouble. It is natural tt
 suppose that his offer will be accepted
 Four years from that time the term of tn
 democrat who was elected to succeed Mir
 Platt will expire. It is expected that an
 other republican legislature will be elected
 and then MT. Fessenden, who has bee1
 quietly assisting the Bulkeley intriguers
 will step forward and claim and receiv
 his reward. It reads well, but probabl
 that is all there is to it.
 FOR SENATORIAL HoNORS.
 Judge Marcus H. Holcomb of Southine
 ton is candidate for the republican nom ination in the second senatorial district l He is endorsed by the Phoenix and Hart ford Courant and is very likely to have walkover in the convention if Senate l Robbins decides not to run. Judge Hol comb is very popular man.
 WALLER AND THE WORLDS FAIR. Ex-Governor Waller dropping Connect
 cut politics for a time, leaves for Chicae
 on Saturday to attend the meeting of tf f Worlds Columbian commission, whic
 convenes in that city on September Il @ The exposition, he believes, will in man y of it's features be the greatest the worl :, has ever seen.
