r. II. Farnsworth and K. ID.
Bassett Elected Delegates to the
CONGREGATIONAL Convention at Mid
dIetown-An Favor Kellogg for
Congress The Probate Conven-
ton.
Shortly after O'Clock last evening
Chairman Bishop of the town committee
called the delegates to the congressional
town convention to order in the parlors
of the Young Mems Republican club and
called for nominations for chairman. In
response to his call the names of A. Maxcy
Killer and E. G. Dow were proposed. Mr..
Dow, however, withdrew his own name,
and Mr.. Hitler was unanimously chosen
chairman. S. W. Punderson was elected
secretary and the business of the conven-
ton proceeded.
The chairman appointed as committee
on credentials W. Il. Chamberlain, Isaac
Ullman and W. NJ. Parsons, and these gen.
tlemen retired and examined the proxies
sent by several delegates.
After the report of the committee had
been accepted, and when the roll of dele
gates was called, it was noticed that but
few of the ward delegations were complete.
As ward after ward was called off by the
secretary delegate from the ward would
arise and move that the name of some
other republican who happened to be at
the convention be substituted as delegates
in place of the absentees. This was &C
coIdingly done by unanimous consent and
everything went along smoothly until the
Ninth ward was reached. One of the dele
gates from this ward was Mr.. Jackson,
and when he failed to respond to his name
q motion was made that Mr.. E. 2. Dow be
substituted.
At this Mr.. Isaac Ullman of the Sixth
ward stated that while he had no objection
to Mr.. Dow personally, still at the same
time he thought it was time that halt was
called in this method of procedure. He
said that had he thought at the beginning
there was going to be such a wholesale
substitution he would have objected then
and that he did so as a matter of principle
Mr.. Ullman's claim was that the delegates
were elected by the respective ward eau
cuses and that the convention had no righI
to appoint substitutes, this latter being
clearly the duty of each ward. Finally
after some debate, Mr.. Dow was elected I
delegate, but no other vacancies were filled
in the same manner.
Nominations for delegates to the stat
order, and City Attorney E. G. Dov
placed in nomination Theodore d. Mac
donald. Mr.. Macdonald however, state'
that while he desired to be delegate, h
preferred that an older man should hea
the delegation, and in consequence substi
IS tuted the name of James D. Dewel. MI
Dewell was then unanimously elected.
For second delegate, Captain G. G. For
nominated William 81. Ely, M. E. Cha
