 It is Candidate Coffin's good luck to be opposed by the Norwalk Hour. Naples is against him. The greatest effort of Naples life Is to keep himself in the pub- lie eye.
 Charles B. Pomeroy has bsen renomi- mated for sheriff of Windham county. The vote stood 26 for Pomeroy and g for Preston B. Sibley, of Brooklyn.
 The democratic convention at New Haven on Tuesday nominated Ernest Cady for governor, as expected, though for time it looked as If MT. Cady's friends would withdraw his name on account of the majority of the Hartford delegates being opposed to him. The ground of opposition seemed chiefly to have been that the candidate had been active at the Murphy temperance meetings, and had opposed the locating of saloons in the in- dustrial sections of Hartford. Mir. Cady seemed to be the favorite of the conven- tion, however, the first ballot giving him e45 out of the 435 votes cast. Judge Mar cius B. Beardsley, who got 190 votes in this ballot, was nominated by acclama ton for the lieutenant governorship. Mayor Kilduff, of Waterbury, was nomi- mated for secretary of state, Stephen O. Bowen, of Eastford, for treasurer, and Nicholas Staub, of Milford, for comp troller. The name of E. 0. Pinney, of Stafford, was presented for the treasur- ship, but was not pressed. MT. Bowen, as we'll as MT. Pipney, is we'll known throughout the entire part of the state. and Is @ strong candidate. W. D. Hol- man, of Holland, served on the committee on credentials, W. E. Hanley, of Stafford, on resolutions, and E. H. Hyde, of Slaf- ford, was one of the vice-presidents of the convention.
 Mr. Cady, nominee for governor, needs no introduction to Stafford voters, being business life was spent. He will run well in Stafford.
 The republican convention to nominate a congressman from this district will be held in Central Hall, Hartford, on Satur- day, at Il a. m.
 Springfield Republican: The Connec- ticut republicans have chosen in ex-Sena- tor Coffin of Middletown 8 good candi- date for governor, and, under the circum- stances as developed in the convention, perhaps the strongest of the leading as- pirants for the nomination as a vote-getter. On the whole, the choice seems about the wisest that could have been made. MT. Coffin is an able man, free from benumb- ing alliances with the professional poli- ticians, and in his administration of the executive office, in case the people should ratify the republican selection, he would prove satisfactory to the commonwealth. One pleasing feature of MT. Cofin's suc- cess Is that 1t was the deliberate choice of the delegates and was not dictated by any boss. machine or coterie offensive to the best people of the state. We ex- peet to see the candidate enthusiastically supported by his party,
 Three names will be presented at the republican county convention for the nomination for sheriff-those of Ex-Sher- if Buell. of Hebron, and Ex-Deputies M. B. Fisk of Stafford; and A. P. Dickinson of Rockville. Stafford has not had sheriff since 1881, and in MT. Fisk she now pre- sents candidate against whom not a word can be said. As a deputy his rec ord Is of the best his character is above reproach; he is uncorruptible and con- petent. If Holland county gets in the coming election so good sheriff as MT. Fisk would prove himself to be it will be a fortunate thing for all, and in all con- ceivable ways. a. -.-..
 THE Courant makes the mistake of speaking of Gov. Cady as being Ex-May- or Hyde's brother-in-law, consequently confusing the mayor with Major E. H. Hyde, who does hold that relationship. The Times also speak of the son of Mayor W. W. Hyde as winner in a juvenile bi- cycle race at Hyde park, so manned in hossor of the victor's grandfather. The facts being that the victor's grandfather was Hon. A. P. Hyde and the park was nafaed for Gov. E. H. Hyde of Stafford, father-in-law of Gov. Cady. The Times says of the race: "The boy was warned to be careful and not get mixed up with the other riders and thus avoid an acci- dent. To be sure of following the advice he shot to the front at the start and the other riders were unable to get near him."
 The Connecticut Humane Society has ordered from E. Bruneau of Paris, France, six machines for killing horses and cattle. The machine Is called the Apparatus Bruneau," and consists of a mask that goes over the animals head and fastens behind the ears with strap. A plate in front comes in contact with the frontal bone well up in the forehead. When the plate is struck with mallet, spike passes through the bone into the brain. The. animal loses no blood and the spike can be driven through into the brain with 8 single blow, when death will be instan- taneous. The method will be far prefer able to shooting.
 The race for the National League pen nant is rapidly drawing to close. Every indication points to the Orioles of Balti- more as the winners, with the Giants sec- and the thrice champions of Boston third. The race has been remarkable one, and followers of baseball this year have seen the best contests in the history of the sport. The first and second teams have to play special series for the Temple trophy.
