 Resolved-That we endorse the principles enun- ciated in the platforms adopted at the national and state republican conventions, and the can- didateS placed in nomination by them, and pledge our best efforts for the success of the re- publican party at the coming election.
 That we most cordially commend to the sui frages5of the people our candidate for Congress- man, HoN. E. $. HENRY, and believe that we add a worthy associate to all our candidates in plac- ing upon the ticket the name of HON. GEORGE L. KEENEY of Somers for Senator from the Twenty fourth District
 Judge Chamberlin, who has filled the office of probate judge for several past terms, elected each time in the face of an adverse party majority, has made record second to no previous incumbent of the office as a careful, conservative judge. His decisions have uniformly stood, and his administration has well satisfied those having business with him. He was re- luctant to take the nomination In 1890, l and this year utterly declined it. M. E. Fisk, the republican nominee for the suc- cession, has had years of experience as clerk of the court.
 THE expected comes to pass in the unanimous re-nomination and hearty en- dorsement of Senator B. c. Pinney, of Stafford, at the democratic convention held at the Stafford Springs House on Tuesday. MT. Pinney is by all odds the strongest candidate his party could have selected. In 1890 he ran far ahead of his ticket in Stafford, receiving the votes of many republican friends. This is not likely to occur to so great an extent in this year of 8 presidential election, the more especially as a vote for him by re- publican is a condemnation of the repub- lican house and endorsement of the demo- cratic senate in the matter of the "dead lock-" Yet it is true that if any democrat can get republican votes Senator Pinney can.
 For judge of probate in the Stafford district the democrats have put in nomi- nation J. V. Squier, the well-known de- pot master at Stafford Springs. MT. Squier will, if elected, bring to the office the good business qualifications and sound sense required in discharge of it's duties His nomination was unanimous.
 Judge W. D. Holman has been re- land probate district.
 John Mathewson, of Warrenville, has been nominated for senator from the 18th district by the republicans He is mem- Der of the present legislature, native of Woodstock, but has lived in Ashford since he was seven years old. He is member of the firm of Lombard < Math- ewson, lumber and fertilizer manufactur- CTS.
 Senator W. B. Foster was unanimously renominated at the democratic convention held at Andover last Saturday.
