 J. J. Redmond was chairman and w. B. Hall clerk at the democratic caucus in the town hall last evening. The attendance was the smallest on record and everything passed off unusually harmoniously. There was noticeable absence of Tam manyites. G. W. Hull, George A. Smith, J. J. Redmond and o. H. D. Fowler were elected delegates to the state and district convention to be held in New Haven next Tuesday. An attempt was made to get the sense of the meeting regarding the choice between Colonel Osborn and Alex ander Troup for delegate, and motion
 was mad to that effect, but after some dis cussion M. F. Kennedy arose and stated that although he personally favored Colo nel Osborn, yet he was not in favor of
 passing any vote to instruct the delegates,
 who he believed were capable and could be
 trusted to uso their own judgment as to
 whom to vote for, and he would make 8
 motion that the vote now pending be laid
 on the table.
 Mir. Kennedy's motion prevailed and the
 delegates will go to the convention unin-
 structed, although it is we'll known fact
 that the delegation is solid for Colonel Os-
 born. The names of B. A. Treat, D. O.

 Blakeslee were added to the town commit
 tee. Chairman J. 0. Roach expressed a
 wish to retire from the position of chair
 man of the committee, but was ready and
 willing to work for the cause. The com
 mittee will choose it's own chairman. Ad-
 journed.
 There was no meeting of the board of
 burgesses last evening on account of the
 absence of Warden Newton in Hartford and lack of @ quorum. Judge Hubbard, General w. R. Pease, J. Walter Mix and w. H. Newton, the latter as substitute for E. R. Hall, went to Hart ford last evening to attend the republican convention.
 It is probable that there will be no ap- pointment made to fill the vacancy in the boad of selectmen caused by the resigna- tion of M. O. Callaghan, as the two re- maining members are capable of carrying along the towns business for the next six months until the annual fall election. Ed Nugent is out again for short vaca- tion.
