HARTFORD, Sept. 12.-[Special. THE
state capital, or that portion of IL In the
vicinity of Heublein's hotel, was tonight
fairly crowded with democrats from all
parts of the state, the prime cause therefor
being the preliminary business attendant
upon the meeting of the state democratic
| convention which oonvenes in Allyn hall
tomorrow morning. All through the day
and early evening delegates have been ar
irving and tonight the city may be said to
fairly swarm with the so-called defenders
of Jeffersonian principles, all eager and
anxious to assist in the laudable ambition
of placing ticket In the field which they
strongly, but vainly, hope will be success
full at the election In November next.
Prominent democrats from all over the
state are present, and these, high ND in the
work of the party, are everywhere endeav- |
ranks, but at present 1t seems as though |
their efforts will be but partially success
full at least.
Tonight the delegates from the various |
congressional and senatorial districts and |
counties have been engaged in an almost /
futile attempt to caucus, but with the ex-
ception of the Third congressional district /
all caucuses have adjourned until an early /
hour tomorrow morning, when the work |
xukt aI ,k1 h,~ 49, -.srl
be completed. In fact 30 little was done /
as TO make 1t almost seem ridiculous to
have called the delegates together this
evening.
From present indications the state ticket
of two years ago will be renominated, the |
only exception being the new candidate
for lieutenant governor, vice DR.. Alsop,
deceased.
At one time this evening there was con-
siderable talk Of a stampede from Morris,
but by the efforts of the leaders of the
party this threatened disturbance was
quelled, and 1t now appears, on the sur
face, at least, that Morris will secure the
undivided support of the delegates. Late
this evening telegram was received from |
Ex-Governor Thomas N. Waller that he
wsuld be present at the convention In sea-
son to second the nomination of Luzon B. |
Morris tor governor, but would be unable
name. 1t is generally believed, however,
that Ex-Governor Waller will be prevailed
upon to come to the convention little
earlier and that he will be the man who
will place the New Haven candidate in
nomination.
For the Office of lieutenant governor
there will undoubtedly be quite q spirited
contest. Already there are no less than
four aspirants for the Office in the field
and more to hear from. The most promis-
ing candidate of the quartette and the one
prize is Radcliffe Hicks of Tolland county, |
a prominent and wealthy lawyer, not
the fact that a number of
the delegates to the convention are openly
themselves here tonight as
being decidedly opposed to placing legal
lights exclusively at the head of the
ticket. The other aspirants, each of
whom has more or less backing, are: O.
N. Beach of Hartford, Samuel Russell of
and Noble B. Pierce of Bris-
toll, state senator from the Fourth district.
As to the make up of the rest of the
ticket there seems to be but little doubt,
aud tho ticket will undoubtedly be the
same as that of two years ago, viz. Marvin
P. Sanger of Canterbury for treasurer,
John j. Phelan of Bridgeport for secretary
of state, and Nicholas Staub of New Mil
ford for comptroller.
AS yet all is uncertainty rs to who will
be the presidential electors and electors at
large. One of the electors at large will
undoubtedly be- E. G. Benedict of Green
wich, the man with the beard, while
friends of Pierce w. WEIGH of New Haven,
9. n. Beach of Hartford, and o. g. Hub
bard of Mtddletown are tonight working
hard in the interests of their respective
candidates to secure the prize for them. In
the opinion of those iu q position to knowit
s conceded tonight that Beach will be the
lucky man.
For district electors it tonight appears
probable that r. j. Vance of New Britain
will be the selection from the First dis
triot, and Thomas L. Msrlor of Brookline
for the Third district. The New Haven
delegation, which composes a portion of
The Second district. are supporting George :
" Grant of New Haven, but in the inter
,sts of harmony, it being the suggestion
IF the caucus tonight, will probably
throw the prizs to either Waterbury or
In which event G. G. Hub
bard of Middletown will be the elector.
The Fourth congressional district at
empted to caucus, but finally amid great b
,onfusion adjourned until tomorrow .
morning at $3.50 o'clock, at which time
md place the caucuses of the First,
second and Third districts will also take
place.
