A dinner at Heublsin's, Hartford, is the
first thing in order.
Among the prominent democrats from
the county who have been talked of for
presidential electors are Pierce N. WEIGH,
president of the First National bank, ex-
Judge Henry Stoddsrd, George N. Grant,
the builder, and Mr.. Leavonworth of Wa
terbury. The one name that has been
prominently spoken of in Middlesex county
is E Z. Hubbard of Middletowp Many
of his friends seem to think he should be
appointed elector at large. And they add
that New Haven could take the district
slector. But some of the New Haven
delegation are anxious to have q New Ha-
ven man named for elector at large and
hold that Middlesex county could choose
the district delegate.
Hon. A. E. Burr of Hartford will proha-
be permanent chairman of the convention.
John 8. Seymour of South Norwalk will
undoubtedly be the temporary chairman.
1t is probable that the state ticket of
two years ago will bs re-nominated by &C.
