 The republican city convention, which was held at Veru hall last evening. was called to order by Chairman James H. Macdonald of the republican town committee shortly after 8 o'clock. A. Maxcy Hitler nominated Captain D. A. Gesner as chairman of the meeting. s. s. Thompson was also nominated. but withdrew his name and Captain Gesner was elected. He withdrew in favor of MT. Thompson, who was unanimously elected and served as chairman. H. H. Guernsey was elected secretary. After calling the roll of delegates the chair appointed Dr. Lambert and W. D. Nor gan as tellers.
 Judge Studley spoke first, placing in nomination the name of Frederick B. Farnsworth. He made a short speech, speaking in the highest terms of MT. Farnsworth's ability and his honorable and clean record. He said that he was a staunch, sturdy citizen, honorable in all the affairs of life. the head of Iar po ocf, tv,or spoke of the success which had met his efforts in bringing the Young Mems Republican club up from a state of comparative insignificance to the strongest political organization in the state He further said that If MT. Farnsworth was mayor a resolution would not lay before the police com missioners for weeks waiting for the mayor to come and dissolve a tie, and visiting people would not have to wait very long to find out who the mayor was. This nomination was received with great enthusiasm.
 Frederick A. Betts then made brief address in which he said he spoke in behalf of MT. Farnsworth, withdraw ing his name from the nomination. MT. Farnsworth did not feel that he could accept 1t as long as he was president of the Young Mems Republican club, to which organization he felt that while he was it's president he should direct all his spare strength and energy.
 School Commissioner W. E. Morgan then placed in nomination the name of ex-Fire Chief A. c. Hendrick. D. A. Blakeslee moved that the secretary cast the ballot for Mir. Hendrick. This was objected to.
 George B. Martin then nominated Eli Whitney, jr. He said that he thought it was momentous time for republi- cans in New Haven, as there was a strong prospect of victory. It was therefore especially necessary to put up the right sort of men-not men con- nected with rings, but those standing high in their probity as>cftizens-prom- inent men whom all the people would vote for. If MT. Sargent was the dem- ocratic candidate, which he undoubt- edly would be, it would be necessary to put up against him 8 citizen equally prominent. He also alluded to MT. whitney's faithful and efficient service on the board of public works.
 Isaac Ullman then placed in nomina- tion the name of General George M. Harmon. Rev. A. P. Miller made an excellent speech endorsing the nomina- tion of General Harmon.
 A. Maxcy Hitler then arose and be- gan to speak. L. A. Holmes interrupt &@ NEu tS, make a nomination. MT. Hitler imme- diately sat down, saying if the conven- tion did not wish to hear him he did not wish to speak. The matter was put to a vote and 1t was unanimously de- cided that MT. Hitler should be given hearing. MT. Hitler then made a short speech.
 A. MAxCY KILLERS REMARKS.
 He said in part: "Gentlemen-I see that all hopes of my name being placed in nomination for the honorable posi- ton of mayor are at an end, but wish to thank those that have stood by me for the support they have given me. see before me those who have given me their word that they would stand as my friends in this contest, but want to take this occasion to release them all from all the promises they have made me in this connection. It was unfortu- nate for my chance that we were not able to send upited delegation from the First ward. But I still feel that it Is a laudable ambition to aspire to the high office of mayor of this city, And while I cannot be the standard bearer for the party love, I can still fight faithfully in the ranks. And I want to again thank my friends who have been willing to stand by me throughout this contest, and to release them from all their pledges to me- s5.
