Cooking in Her Sleep - obituary.
General Notes.
At the republican state central commit
tees meeting in Hartford Wednesday even
ing two prominent republicans present
with the committee were Governor Morgan
g. Buckley and Insurance Commissioner |
Orsamus R. Fyler.
1t was expected that at such gathering |
of prominent politicians something would |
develop as to places on the republican state
ticket next fall, but Secretary Brainard
said that as soon as the subject of candi-
dates was preached, Chairman Benton said
that the committee we're not together for
that purpose, 80 that there was no oppor
tunity to test the feeling on that point.
Such comment as was heard about the no.
tel corridors favored placing Merwin again
at the head.
Congressman Russell will be the tempo
rary chairman of the convention. Little
was said about the permanent chairman,
who. of course, will be formally selected
by the committee on permanent organiza-
ton at the convention. 1t is said, how
ever, that Senator Plat is prominently
The convention will be a rousing one,
says the Hartford Coursnt, and one of the
features of the plan now is to have some
distinguished republican from outside of
the state make an address. Nothing was
said at the committee meeting about the
the hall in New Haven where the conven-
ton will be held, but it is taken for grant
ed that it will be at the Hyperion. The
convention will be called to order on the
evening of the 9th.
In the course of the evening delegation
| of laboring men waited upon Chairman
Benton. They informed him of the con-
dition of the laborers. suggested that much
| might be done by legislation for their bet
| terment, and they hoped that the republi-
| can party would care for their interests.
The chief spokesman said that he was a
republican because he liked the republican
| policy of caring for the American laborers
by protective legislation.
| It is reported that Gardiner Greene, jr.,
of Norwich is not willing to be candidate
| for secretary of state.
| Senator Garvan, whose friends were
talking of him for comptroller, has told
| them to stop. He considers the nomina-
nation an election, but he doesn't want
| the Office.
OUR PEACH CROP ALL RIGHT.
In view of reports of the partial failure
of the peach crop in Maryland, Delaware
and New Jersey, says the Hartford
Times, it is interesting to learn that there
are prospects of fair crop from Connecti
cuts peach orchards. At Deep River the
Connecticut Valley Orchard company is
expecting over $4,000 baskets this season
Here in New Haven and vicinity the
peach trees are generally laden down with
fruit.
DANBURY G. A. R. AT WASHINGTON.
| Over forty Thousand veterans have en-
gagged quarters in Washington for encamp
ment week. Although it is now it'll
over three months before the encampmen
will be held, yet from the large numbe
that have made arrangements to attend i
| ia evident that the actual attendance will
not fall far shart of the predictions tina
this gathering of Grand Army men will b
the largest ever held. The committee u
James E. Moore post of Danbury have sc
cured quarters for fifty men, but NOR
than that number from there will proba
bly, attend. They are negotiating for mu
sic, but have engaged none thus far. TIL
. | chances are in favor of the Bethel drur
corps accompanying them.
