 for the Places on tho Representative
 Ticket.
 There was n spirited and at times
 exciting contest at Turn hall last even
 Ing. where the democratic convention
 to nominate candidates for representa-
 tlves was in session. The contest was
 on from start 10 finish and 1t was not
 until the last vote had been counted on
 egch ballot that the nom'nees were
 finally selected. After the smoke had
 cleared away 1t was ascertained that
 Attorneys David T. McNamara and
 John C. Gallagher had succeeded in car
 rylng of the plums after hard fight. Eighty delegates were present and
 they unanimously chose Attorney l.. E. Jacobs for chairman and H. A. Snyder of the Fifteenth ward secretary on mo-
 ton of Joseph F. Taylor. After Chair
 man Jacobs had made speech, during
 which he eulogized the democratic party and exhorted the delegates to se- lect the best men possible for repre- sentatives, the following committee on
 credentials was appointed: Albert s. Wheeler, Dr. F. o. White, John J. Cler-
 kin, Walter c. Wells, r. A. Maloney,
 John w. Hut, M. E. Tracey, Addison r. Hunie, John H. Connor. Edward Welch, R. B. Farren and William Bris-
 tol.
 F An attempt was then made to appoint tellers, and half dozen or more names
 were mentioned, but all declined ex- cept Samuel Barnes and A. B. Farren
 Nominations were next called for rep
 resentatives and John w. Hut pre- sented the name of John c. Gallagher while a like service was performed for
 David c. McNamara by A. F. Hunie. There were no other nominations for first place on the ticket and a ballot
 was ordered, it being the sense of the convention that viva voce vote should be taken.
 As there were 80 delegates present 41 votes were necessary to choice. Each
 delegate voted for his choice as the roll
 was called, and when the votes had
 been counted 1t was found that Mr.
 McNamara had received 42 votes and Mir Gallagher 3S. A motion was made
 to make the nomination of MT. McNa- mara unanimous, but before 1t could be put Samuel Barnes had stepped to the edge of the stage and saidi''T have no personal objection to the nomination of
 Mr. McNamara, but the citizens of New
 Haven will have, and -"
 l But he was allowed to go no further. Immediately John J. Clerkin jumped to
 his feet and raised the point of order that MT. Barnes was not speaking on the motion. Chairman Jacobs decided | that the point of order was well taken, and MT. Barnes was obliged to subside, | after which the motion to make MT. McNamaras nomination unanimous
 was put, but did not prevail, as there | were several audible noes.
 For second place on the ticket Joseph
 D. Taylor placed John c. Gallagher in | nomination. Jacob Hunie objected to sending two lawyers to the general as7 sembly, claiming that the business men should be represented. He therefore nominated Walter Leigh. John Ruff was placed in nomination by Michael F. Griffin, while like service was per formed for Edwin c. Cooper by John J.
 Clerkin. As there were no other candi- dates a ballot was taken, resulting in Gallagher receiving 50 votes Leigh 2,
 Ruff 27 and Cooper 1. After the nomi- nation of MT. Gallagher had been made
 unanimous the convention adjourned
 and the delegates repaired to the cor ners, where they discussed the situation for some time.
 SENATORIAL CONVENTION. The democratic senatorial convention was held in Veru hall last evening and was an exceedingly brief affair. Only three of the delegates were absent and the business of the convention went along swtrnmingly, the entire session only lasting about ten minutes. Judge David Callahan was unanimously nomi- mated for state senator from the Eighth district and John P. Carney was unani- mously chosen a member of the demo- cratic state central committee from the same district In fact there was vast deal of unanimity prevalent every where.
 | Promptly at 8 o'clock Chairman Shannon of the town committee called the convention to order and Prosecut- ing Agent Daniel A. McWilliams was unanimously chosen chairman and Deputy Registrar Albert Widmann sec- retary. The calling of the roll of dele. gates was, on motion, dispensed with, and Chairman McWilliams called for nominations for senator.
 Hardly had the invitation been ex- tended when Attorney Charles s. Ham, ilton, that erstwhile republican, jumped to his feet and in one of his charac- teristic speeches, during the course of which he arraigned the republican par ty and made one or more of his favorite quotations, placed in nomination David Callahan, the present assistant judge of the city court. The nomination was promptly seconded by Attorney George R. Cooley, and as there, were no other names presented, the nomination of MT. Callahan was, on motion, made unani- nous. There was some little applause, but the floor and walls of the building are still standing.
 General Registrar John P. Carney was next placed in nomination for mem Der of the democratic state central com mittee from this district. The nomina- ton was promptly seconded and he was unanimously chosen, after which the convention adjourned sine die. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE CONVENTION. n,hara ,pos hardly a, handful of dele
