 Mr. Spiegel said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention-This is the proudest and at the same time the most trying moment of my life. Proud est, because you as the representatives of the republican party of the county of New Haven have chosen me as your candidate for sheriff; and most try ing, because, by doing so, you have placed me in position where I feel myself called upon to make a. speech. and that Is something that have never before even attempted.
 q appreciate fully the great honor you have done me, for I know that it is not often that a nomination to a position of this importance Is rendered to man as poor as I am from a financial standpoint. But if I am poor in money, hope to be able to convince you on election day that I am rich in friends, and with their help and your hearty and united support I will win this fight.
 "I recognize the fact that it is no easy task you have set me, but ac- cept this nomination, not with the ex- pectation of being defeated, but with the full intention of being elected if such 8 thing is possible. And if it should be my good fortune to be elected I will perform the duties of the office to the very best of my ability and trust to the satisfaction of all law abiding citizens.
 "Of the other candidates on our ticket it is hardly necessary for me to speak. They are all worthy of your support, and if you will work as hard as I shall for the success of every candidate on the republican ticket you will find us all in the lead and far ahead of our democratic competitors on election 
 day.
 Gentlemen, thank you sincerely for the nomination and for your kind at- tention."
 Three cheers for Sheriff Spiegel," shouted a delegate. And the cheers were given with a will. Then three cheers were given for "Congressman Sperry."
 A committee on resolutions com posed of w. H. Wakelee of Southbury and Frederick L. Averill of New Haven presented the following:
 Resolved, That this convention heartily endorse the principles ad- vanced in the platform of the republi- can state convention, and present our candidate for sheriff as eminently com petent and worthy of the support of all citizens"
