Com missioner Mcdonald Seated After
 Warm Discussion.
 The regular monthly meeting of the board of police commissioners was held last evening.
 The first business to come before the meeting was the administering of the oath to Messrs Mcdonald and Martin, the newly elected members. Commis- sioner Martin objected on. the ground that the new members could not be sworn in until the next meeting.
 c. B. Webster, the retiring commits sioner, was present, and Commissioner Martin explained that he met Mir Web ster and invited him to attend the meet ing. Mir Martin stoutly objected to being sworn in until the next meeting. The records of the board showed cases where members of the board were sworn in at the meeting of the police board held the evening following their election. After considerable discussion Mir Webster left the room, after which Mir Mcdonald received the oath and took his seat as a member of the board.

The Democratic Central Committe
 Discuss the situation.

The Democratic Central Committee
 Discuss the situation.
 Yesterday most of the members of the democratic state central committee met in the headquarters at New Haven and discussed the political situation. It was decided to invite Congressman Wilcox to act as temporary chairman of the democratic state convention.
 The session of course was executive and was held behind locked doors. It began at 2 o'clock and lasted about two hours, Chairman Davis and nineteen members of the committee being present.
 It was clearly evident that the major ity ot the members of the committee were of the opinion that the state ticket should be headed by Thomas NJ. Waller of New London and George Sumner of Hartford, the same men who led the party when the overwhelming victory of 1882 was achieved.
 The New Haven Palladium to-day makes the following ridiculous break |: Mir Waller has finally stated that if the republicans nominate General Merwin for governor he would not under any circumstances consent to accept the democratic nomination for governor. He had taken special pains to ascertain the feeling toward General Nerwin in all parts of the state and ke had heard nothing but good words spoken of that gentleman. If General Merwin was nominated he did not believe it possible for a democrat to win. On the con trary, if the republicans renominated Governor Bulkeley, he should be willing to become the democratic candidate for governor, his idea being that by stump ing the state and conducting a vigorous campaign and taking every possible ad- vantage of what opposition to Governor Bulkeley has grown out of complica- tions in military and other circles, there would be a chance of carrying the state.

Treasurer Henry Gives Notice or the
 State Tax Suspension.
 Treasurer E. Stevens Henry has served formal notice upon the select men of the different towns of the state that the state tax of one mlll on the dollar, payable November 10, will be suspended this year. The notice cites the statute which reserved this power to him and in closing says:
 Now, therefore, you are hereby noti- fed that the collection of the full amount of said tax laid on the grand list of 1889. and payable on or before the 10th of November 1890, is suspended in compliance with the provisions of the foregoing resolution.
 The annual military communication tax is not included in the foregoing resolu- tion, therefore it is payable this year as usual.
 E. STEVENS HENRY, treasurer.
 On the 1st of November Treasurer r Henry will pay off S200, ,000 Of the state bonds. These are held by the Etna Life Insurance company. and are on deposit in Canada. The coupons are payable November 1. and so the bonds are called for the even date. The governor ap- proved the call of the bonds which he held, for though it was an inconvenience to the company it was manifestly for the benefit of the state.
