line, and one which the ladies have
been looking forward to for some time
Sergean Cox of New Haven has prom
Used a continuance of fine weather in
honor of the event, SO that every
thing is favorable for a gala ladies
day. Mr. Chase takes pride IN
being able to show to the ladies of Wa
terbury and adjoining towns, as fine an
establishment as can be found in the
state. His new store is neatly and taste
fully arranged for the proper display of
his rich and extensive stock of millinery,
embracing all the latest and most fash
ionable designs. 1t only remains for
the ladies to show their appreciation of
Mr. Chase's efforts to give them the best
that can be obtained in his line by turn

vANcE's PLAN FINDS FAVOR.
The Next Democratic Convention Will
Have SixtY-Seven New Delegates.

The Next Democratic Convention will
Have Sixty-Seven New Delegates.
The plan of R. J. Vance, for changing
representation in party convention, an
outline OF which was published in the
DEMOCRAT, yesterday, was the only one
considered by the democratic state CEN
trail committee, and it was adopted with
only one dissenting vote, that of Mr.
Carney of New Haven. The resolution
is as follows:
Whereas, it is evident that the condi-
tions have SC changed in this state as to
render unjust to the great majority of
general assembly and in nominating
conventions, that was, when it was
initiated, approximately equal.
Whereas, as the rights of the towns
have been woven into our laws, and are
part of our history and traditions,
and as we oppose any interference with
these rights, we strenuOusly object to
any change that will take from towns
the representation they now possess as
such.
Whereas, while guaranteeing to the
towns all the privileges now vested in
them, it is our opinion, in order to I'M
equivocally meet the present situation,
that the principle of the equality of the
people, to which the democratic party
is unalterably pledged, makes the re-
quest of the larger towns for increased
representation one that all democrats
are willing to grant.
Whereas, the democratic party is the
party of the people, while the republi-
can party represents and relies upon
those who oppose the interests of the
masses. Present conditions enable re-
publicans who received no votes to con-
tinue in power when even their party
candidates were repudiated at the polls,
thus disgracing the state of Connecticut
with their greed for office. 1t is there
fore the duty of every democrat and
every voter who values his vote, to rise
up in opposition, to discountenance the
rule of the minority and to insist on
having a republican form of govern
ment. With these reforms in view the
representatives of the democratic party
in its state central committee are called
upon to act, therefore be it
Resolved, That in the next democratic
state convention the system of repre-
sentation shall be as follows:
l. Each town shall retain as a town
the number of delegates it is now en-
titled to.
II. Each town, in which the whole
vote cast at the last presidential election
exceeds one thousand, shall be entitled
to one additional delegate for each adj,
ditional thousand votes then cast and
also a fraction thereof exceeding
One-half.
Resolved, That the secretary be in.
structed to include the foregoing reso
lutlons in the call for the next conven
ton.
Under this resolution the additional
representation would be as follows:

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Death of the Man Who Was Asphvxiated
at New Haven Sunday.

Death of the Man Who Was Asphyxiated
at New Haven Sunday.
The man giving the name of Gerry
Moran, who was asphyxiated at New
Haven in the Frankfort house on Sun
day night, died at the New Haven hos
pital last evening at o'clock. He re-
gistered at the hotel as Gerry Moran of
Hartford, but that is not thought to be
his name by the hospital authorities.
An attempt was made to have him
write it yesterday morning, but what he
wrote was not legible. 1t was not
Moran at any rate. The first part of the
name looked like William W." but the
rest nobody could make out.
Martin Hoehler of Warehouse Point,
was thrown from load of hay while
passing under the telephone wire yester-
day afternoon and broke his right leg
above the knee. The accident occurred
Just at dusk and Hoehler did not see the
wire.
Ashal Kellogg, farmer living on the
Torrington road near the line of the Cen
trail New England and Western railroad,
returned to his home yesterday after
noon and found the doors and windows
locked. He called neighbor and with
a crowbar forced open the door. When
he entered he found his wife dead. She
was sitting upright in an armchair.
Deputy Coroner Herbert was summoned
and concluded that death was due to
heart disease.
