 MT Pigott was notified of his nomina- tion and conducted into the hall by a committee consisting of George Higby of Meriden, John O'Hara of Derby, John Blan field of Portland, H. J. Flanagan of Waterbury and John J. Lane of New Haven. A committee was appointed to invite Mir Morse and Mir Wood to the hall, but the gentlemen could not be found. MT Pigott addressed the con- Yention as follows:
 "Gentlemen: I entered this fight in an open and manly way, and in a manly way l appealed to the people of this dis | trict for the nomination. In this appeal I was sustained by towns casting more than two-thirds of the votes in this dis trict. These towns elected delegates to tl is convention in my favor. The state convention which met in Hartford last | week declared that the men who receive the highest number of votes for the five | Cul6l O11CGS Ol UIl0 SLdJ0 UO elected to those offices. That is prin- ciple which have advocated and SUD- ported for years. have claimed that it is democratic to elect or to nominate a man by plurality. If the right of the | majority to rule-if the right of consti- | tuents to know how their representa- | tives vote is to be the issue of this cam paign I cheerfully accept it. I have made no promises in order to gain the nomination. No mans vote has been obtained by promise of an office if was nominated. I came before this convention free man and I am free man now. But I'll promise here that if there is a democrat among my con- stituents who ever wants my ear for himself or for friend he shall have it willingly. If am elected-and I ex- pect to be, because I have never been defeated-I shall work for the demo cratic party and my constituents. Il always has been sacred rule in all legislative bodies that on a request Of | one-fifth of the members present an aye and nay vote shall be taken on any question. The people have right tc know how their representatives vote or any subject, and this right is secured tC | them by the rule of legislative bodies l giving a small minority the privilege oi calling for an aye and nay vote. The | people Of this dlSCr1CC nave rlgnG Co know who voted for this man or who voted for that man. It was not this year only that advocated this principle. have worked for it for years, and shall always work for it. The national dem. ocratic and republican conventions used this rule. The roll was called, the chairmen of the delegations polled theil men and announced how every mar voted, and before the vote was finished the people of this state and of the whole country knew who was nominated. II this rule is good for the democratic party in national convention, think il good for the Second congressional dis trict of Connecticut" ,sf
