Now Haven Delegates to the National Republican League Convention Tell
 of Their Tour.
 John w. Lowe and Edw. L. Lindsley, who were the delegates from this city at the Na- tional Republican convention which was held in Nashville, Tenn, on March 4, re. turned yesterday. They spent an enjoyable time on their trip, and everywhere the party went they were treated right royalty. Both of the above named gentlemen expressed themselves last evening as being more than pleased at the reception they received wher. ever they went. Ex-Mayor Lewis and Mayor dall of Rockville and Secretary of State Henry were also in the party which left here. When the party arrived in New York they were entertained by Charles Bishop, formerly of the firm of Peck 6 Bishop of this city, but who is now eastern passenger agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. Leaving New York on Sunday night, they arrived in Cincinnati and were met there by the western delegates. This increase of the number necessitated the splitting of the train, and from there on to Louisville the party was separated. In Cincinnati the Connecticut party was ssrenaded by the New York delegates, and to this ovation MT. Lindsley responded by fitting speech. Leaving Cincinnati, the party arrived in
 
 meeting was held, which lasted day and @ half. It was very enthusiastic meeting, and when Tom Reeds name was mentioned there was great excitement. There was also quite fight as to where the next league meeting would bs held, but after some time it was decided that Cincinnati would be the place.
 At tho convention there was but one opin- ion expressed concerning the administration, and that was satisfaction with the policy of President Harrison on matters of general in- terest to the country. There were some who thought that he was going little slow in making appointments, but the enthusiasm with which the delegates unanimously in- dorsed his actions showed the extent of their confidence in him. According to state- ment submitted, there are 5000 clubs now in the league and the membership is over half million, which makes quite respecta- ble army.
 After the convention the delegates, by invitation of Governor Taylor of the state, where they visited both bodies ot the legis- lature. While in Nashville the delegates, as a body, received numerous invitations from other cities to visit them, and one man from Memphis, Tenn, was particularly anxious. He asked in the mayors name for them to go there, and if they saw anything they wanted to take 1t. The invitation great many ac. oepted, but the Connecticut delegates, be- ing married, were obliged to refuse the kind and generous offer. Leaving Nashville the whole party went to Chattanooga, where a mass meeting was held and the delegates were addressed by Congressmen Grosvenor of Ohio and Evans of Tennessee. A committee of citizens and g committee of the Young Mons Republican club of that town took them all over the battlehelds of Lookout Mountain, Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge. The Connecticut delegates then started for home, and after visiting the Mammoth cave and calling on the Connecti- cut congressmen in Washington they arrived home, fully satisfied with their trip.
