been stirred lately from the fact that he
had attended the convention of the old SOL
diers, probably the greatest convention
ever held in this or any other country.

had talked with many from different parts
of the country and had heard a great deal
about politics. Benjamin Harrison has
made better president than anticipated

gates to enter into the fight with delibera-
ton on this beautiful autumn day. The
remarks of the chairman were followed by
loud applause.

Prior to the convention assembling al
1870, J. NJ. Douglas of this city made few
remarks, citing the principal issues of the
campaign. The committee on credentials
reported and the report was accepted.
| L. I. Munson of Waterbury took thu
nomination q man who was we'll known
throughout tho district and the state. The
manufacturing, agricultural and mercan
tile interests of the Second district are sec
ond to none, and a man to represent The
district should be one we'll qualified. HI
had in his mind a man who could fill thu
position, who had thrice been elected t.
the same responsible position; he was
scholar and identified with all the interests
necessary; he had beaten democrats before
: and believed he could beat J. P
Pigott; the man he desired tx
nominate did not seek the nomination
He was in favor of protection, reciprocity
honest money and free ballot. Thu
speaker then presented the name of Step
. hen w. Kellogg. James D. Dewel1 of New
Haven, in well chosen and telling remarks
seconded the nomination of Mr.. Kellogg
w. G. Hoff of Essex, gave his experience
as delegate and attendant at differen
conventions, and favored the nomination
; of Mr.. Kellogg. Hon. L. M. Hubbard o
Wallingford, in roueing speech, referret
to the career of Mr.. Kellogg while in con
: gress; of the prominent position he tool
with the leading statesmen of the day, ant
| hoped that his nomination would be b.
reclamation. The chairman then Gale,
: for other nominations, but as no name
were presented, the nomination of MI
) Kellogg was by reclamation, and tire

!. As republicans representing the Second col
| gressional district, in convention assembled, W
9 hereby heartily endorse the principles set fort
of h
yentons OF Of our our party; We hold that the mai,
ton is of vital importance to the industri
E welfare Of our state. The national Democrat
L party declares in its platform that this prime
Il pie is unconstitutional and a fraud, an
~ stands committed to its elimination from OF
" tariff system. The democratic platform of Coz
necticutvwhile denouncing the principles of pr
| lection in general declares in favor of a big
r | tariff on tobacco. We confidently appeal to tt
electors of this congressional district without T
It gard to past political affiliations to regs1e the
. Condemnation of this duplicity and to resist wi,
10 their ballots in November, the democratic assau
/ ha RI rUhI n of TO
- much Of it's prosperity. We commend the nom
u nee of this convention, Hon. Stephen W. Re
d | logg.
