State Politics.

The friends of Hon. E. Stevens Henry had hopes, bordering on expectancy, of his nomination for congressman at Hart ford last Saturday, but hardly looked for a majority on first ballot, therefore were most pleasantly surprised when a nearly two-thirds vote in his favor was followed by a cordial endorsement of unanimity The first ballot stood, Henry, 85; M. H. Holcombe, of Southington, 264, and 20 scattering. The result gives good pleas ure to the republicans and many friends of the nominee in all parties, in Holland county, which will appear in good local support. His opponent will no doubt be Congressman Sperry, who defeated MT. Henry in the democratic landslide of 1899. The democratic convention will meet in Hartford on Monday, Oct. 8th.
 In the New Haven congressional district the democrats have renominated Con- gressman Pigott, and the republicans have set up against him ex-Postmaster N. D. Sperry.
 Ex-Senater E. J. Hill of Norwalk was on Tuesday nominated for congressman at the republican Fourth district conven- tion held at Bridgeport.
 Hartford Post: E. Stevens Henry of Rockville, who is again the candidate for congress in this district, deserves to be and we. believe will be elected by a large plurality. In his public service as well as his private life he has been man who has won the esteem of all who met him both by his executive ability and his ad- mirable personal traits.
 The Courant on Wednesday had re- turns, nearly all official, from 164 of the 164 towns that voted on Monday. The republicans carried 1O3 of these towns against 81 carried last year out of the same towns, gain of 9. These gains are from last year, when it will be remem- bered that material republican gains were made from the previous year.
 None but good words are spoken of either candidate for governor by republi- can or democratic papers. It is pleasant to have candidates of high standing as to personal or business reputation.
 We hear that Tuesday, Oct. 18th, is the assigned date for the republican county convention at Holland.

A philadelphian who had travelled ex-

A Philadelphian who had travelled ex- tensively in Burmah was telling an Eng fish girl, on a recent voyage across the Atlantic. some of the remarkable work which elephants are taught to do in that country, and in order to create agood im- pression he drew slightly on his imagina- tion. He told the truth as to how ele- phants toll all day, piling up lockwood at the saw-mills and even lay the logs on the plane, "and,' he continued, ssthere was one old elephant, much wiser than the others, who, after he had laid down the log, got down on his knee and squinted to see if it was on straight" The girl smil- ed in bored sort of a way, and said: "Now am sure you are an American"
 The "Congregationalist" tells of a clergyman who, after fifty-one years of continuous preaching in one pulpit, re- tired with thirty sermons on hand which he had never preached, but had prepared out of love for doing so. Here was man who never turned up the barrel and began at the bottom. Few there be who could equal him in this respect.

IT may be we'll for the electors of the small towns to be sure how the repre- sentatives they ale to choose stand upon the question of increasing the power of the cities in legislation. Of course the first step is merely to increase the city representation, not disturbing that of the towns. With the power thus given the cities it will be easy to take the next step and reduce the representation of the towns. Is the state suffering because the city slums have too small ratio of rep resentation? We hardly think it.

THEY STOOD FIRM.
BESSEMER ALDERMEN DENY
THE CLAIM OF THE BULLEN
BRIDGE COMPANY.
The last ditch crossed in safety The
contest involves $40 The case
will now grind in the courts.

The Bullen Bridge Co made its final
plea with the city council at its last
regular meeting Monday evening for
the remainder Of the penalty Of $720
being withheld by the town because of
the delay in the completion OF the
viaduct.
Attorney McAliney talked for the
much abused bridge company. He
was not there purposely to appear for
them. He was there in his own behalf
in a little. matter concerning his in
terest in the Lake Minnequa appeal
case and incidentally made the talk
on the demurrage question. He SO
explained, and everybody so understood
1t, of course. Mr. McAlinsy made a
very smooth talk. mild and agreeable.
and argued that unless the council
by delay it could not withhold the
$720 nor any part of it. The law was
he had looked into the causes of delay
and believed the delay justitiable; yet
he was not talking so much for the
Bullen Bridge Co, but was giving his
opinion as . lawyer. In conclusion he
made mild threat by implication. say
ing that his connection with the case
ceased with the existence of the Bes-
semer city council. and that John
Waldron, the ''old stand by" of the
Bullens would lock after the case in
the courts.
Mayor Dempsey was inclined to set
tie the matter. He stated that upon
investigation he believed the Bullens
had exercised due diligence in com
pleting the job and the delay was un-
avoidable.
Aldermen Fisher. Jackson and Pan
nebaker entered their several protests
They declared that they would stay
with the case to the last. Fisher SAID
he would not go back now on all that
the council had done; Jackson said the
committee on public works had made
its final report and Pannebaker said the
contract must stand. Other members
though silent were in accord with the
expressed opinions Of those who spoke.
and probably remembering the dis
comfiture of the talented j. w. in the
late injunction case deemed him not in
vincible. and decided to let the case
wind it's devious ways through the
courts.
And thus the demurrase muddle
stands.
