CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS.

Reyision Demanded - Kisses for | Hill. The state democratic convention has | come and cheered for Cleveland lustily, md cheered for Hill vigorously, but not 70 lustily as for Cleveland; and it has elected the delegates to the Chicago nomi- hating convention, whose names were given in the COURIER yesterday, and has passed resolutions in accordance with the views of the party-that is, to some ex- tent. The convention was held at the Hyperion and was on the whole tolerably and pretty solid for Cleveland, though the Hill men were heard from; and the leaders wisely decided that the dele gates should go uninstructed, owing to va rious reasons, chiefly the Hill Cleveland and the possible consequences. The most interesting speech at the conven- tion, by far. was that of our townsman, General E. B. Bradley, who was the pre- siding officer of the convention, and bril- iantly filled the position. General Brad ley won new 1aurels yesterday and loomed up more conspicuously than ever before the admiring gaze of the representatives of the democracy of the state as man goodly in appearance, gifted in speech, dis erect enough to be a safe leader and avail able enough all around to be proaable candidate for governor in the near future, after MT. Morris. There were various democratic heresies in his speech, but it was able, nevertheless General Bradley talked some straight talk to the farmers and cited figures that were telling, when he topped off his speech with an appeal for constitutional convention, which is so popular in democratic circles.
 There was some disappointment at not hearing from the venerable ex-Senator Eaton. so loug one of the renowned lead Ars of the party, but when @ summons for him came late in the session he was not in. MT. Walsh made speech of some force and brilliancy. "A gentleman" as said Chairman Davis of the state com Britain, and who, after ten years of repub- lican rule in his town, has been elected mayor by a majority of over 2,00O." ''Nick" Staub's name when mentioned brought out some applause.
 When Judge Morris name was men tioned by Mayor Walsh it received an out burst of applause. The audience was also very enthusiastic when it was men, tioned that the delegation to Chicago was to go uninstructed. This was very satis- factory to the boys. Mayor Walsh's ad- dress provoked hearty applause. Fred 0. Mullins, city clerk of Bridgeport, was temporary secretary of the convention.
 OPENING OF THE CONVENTION.
 Promptly at 1O:15 o'clock Clinton B. Davis called the convention to order, after which the call for the convention was read by Secretary Swartout of the state central committee. Chairman Davis then called the temporary chairman of the con- vention, Mayor John Walsh of New Britain, to the chair, introducing him as ''the first democratic mayor of New Britain for the past ten years." Mayor Walsh was greeted with loud applause as he ascended the stage escorted by Mayor E. 0. Crandall of Norwich. MT. Walsh then made stirring democratic address, quently interrupted by loud and contin- ued applause. When during the couree of his remarks he referred to Judge Luzon B. Morris and Comptroller Staub, the del egates seemed to go fairly wild and the walls of the theater rang with cheers and applause. At the close of his speech three rousing cheers for the speakers were pro posed by Mayor Crandall of Norwich and given with a hearty good will. Mayor Walsh then appointed Frederick c. Mul lins, city clerk of Bridgeport, temporary clerk of the convention, after which came the appointment of the various commit tees.

 In introducing General E. E. Bradley a permanent chairman to the convention ex Congressmen Vance said:
 "Gentlemen, present to you a ma1

 whom you all honor so neatly that hi
 party has never forgotten him. Gentle
 men, present to you General E. E. Brad ley, permanent chairman of the conven
 tion."
