crest at the capitol to-day conferred in the
republican caucus for the nomination of
United States senator, which resulted In
the choice of Senator Hawley ON the sixth
ballot, Bulkeley's followers then deserting
him for Hawley.
In the senate the only excitement of the
session was the resolution offered by Sem
ator Fox, at the request of several of the
New Haven county lawyers, asking that
the criminal side of the court of common
pleas be abolished for New Haven county.
The democrats Of New Haven county
held their caucus for the nomination of
county commissioners and judges of the
court of common pleas and city court,
after the adjournment of the house, and
the slate formed some time ago went
through without an objection, resulting
in the nomination of James Reynolds of
New Haven and John L. Lindley of Anso-
MIA for county commissioners, Attorney
Hobart L. Hotchkiss for judge of the court
of common pleas, and David Callahan for
judge Of the city court. Lindley's nomi-

two years and six months.

also held caucus and re-nominated Judge
John B. Studley for judge of the court of
common pleas and Judge L. M. Hubbard
of Wallingford for judge of the court at
the latter place. No nominations for the
city court was made, although the feelins
among the county delegates was that Judge
Rufus s Pickett will receive q renomina-

some division must b. made in the judge
ships. that Judge Studley and Attorney

EFT as judge Of the city court, with Senator
Fox or Representative Callahan as prose-
cutting attorney and assistant judge, or
