POLITICAL POINTERS.
Meeting of Waterbury Delegates to the
 Congressional Convention,

Meeting of Waterbury Delegates to the
 Congressional Convention.
 Waterbury's delegates to the demo- held in New Haven on next Wednesday held a caucus in the Cooley house parlor last evening, when an attempt was made to pledge the delegates to vote for H. Holton Wood of Ansonia, but with out success. There were present at the meeting James A. Hynes, John J. McAuliffe, Timothy F. Flynn, James H. Dugan, John Moliarty, J. F. Gar ren,, Joseph Doherty and Henry J, Flanagan, Terrence Coyle not being able to attend on account of illness. Mir Moriarty expressed himself in favor of H. Holton Wood and scored Mir Pigott roundly. The speaker asked Chairman Hynes of the democratic town com mittee if Mir Pigott had sent him any money to run the primaries, and MT Hynes replied that he did, but that it was not accepted. MT Flanagan asked Mir Hynes if the Wood men had sent him any, and was answered that they had not; that he had paid the expenses of the primaries himself. The letter which MT Pigott sent to the several delegates was read by Mir Moriarty, who condemned the idea of Mir Pigott asking for an open ballot. H. J. Flanagan re- marked that any delegate who would be afraid to vote openly was not fit to 20 to the convention. Mir Moriarty then stated that he was for Wood, and inquired from Messrs McAuliffe and Hynes their preference; both stated that they were for MT Wood. Registrar Flanagan inquired the pleaning of the action in trying to pledge the delegates, roundly condemning the same. MT Hynes sided with MT Flanagan, saying he did not favor such action. All further attempts to get an expression | of opinion failed. It is certain that four of the delegates, at least, are for MT Wood.
 Ex-Sheriff Gates has written letter
 in which he says that he is not candi-
 date for the republican nomination for congress in the Second district. Chair man Benton of the republican state central committee thinks that General
 Kellogg of this city is the man most
 likely to secure the coveted prize,
 "General Kellogg" said MT Benton, "is
 very favorably talked of. He has
 already served three terms in congress
 and is acknowledged by all who know
 him to be thoroughly competent to fill the position. He is conversant with all the duties of a congressman and has great influence on the floor with other members. While he has never made a great mark as an orator, yet as a de
 batter on all subjects brought before tho
 house he has few equals. At the las Iconvention he would not allow hi. name to be used owing to poor health
 but this year he is in splendid physica condition and no doubt he will be tht
 man selected to go to Washington"

NEW ENGLAND ROAD BONDS

VIII Not Be Registered By Comptroller
 Staub Until a Test Case Is Brought.
 filling 6 Webb, the well known lawyers of New Haven, are the counse for stockholders of the New York & New England railroad, seeking to re- strain the registration of any more bonds of that company. Professor Simeon E. Baldwin of New Haven has been for several weeks trying to induce Comptroller Staub to register g 2,000,- 900 bonds. On Saturday evening filling & Webb received from Comp, troller staub a letter addressed to the counsel for both parties. In this he says:
 "From such statements as have been made to me by each side, and an ex- animation of the returns of construction account made during the past few years to the railroad commissioners, there is very great doubt whether these bonds can be legally registered. It de- bends upon the construction the courts may put upon the statutes. If the claims made by those who are opposed to the registration of bonds concerning the present condition of the New York & New England road and it's construc- tion accounts are correct, it would seem as if the spirit of the law is against the registration of any more bonds at the present time. The suits which are in the superior court raise questions which, when finally determined, may settle the question whether, under the law, l can legally register the proposed new bonds."
 The comptroller then goes on to in form them that, after consultation with his counsel, he advises filling 6 Webb to proceed immediately to try one of their cases begun in court. He says he ready to try the case, which was first brought in Hartford county for a per- manent injunction, as soon as Judge Prentice can take the question up.
