 The second congressional district con- vention of the silver democrats was held yesterday in St. Aloysius hall on Meadow street and nominated pr. Aus tin B. Fuller as the candidate for con- gressional honors. c. T. Driscoll, Mayor Killduff and Greene Kenddck of Waterbury and c. N. Morse of Meriden were also balloted for.

 The convention settled down to busi- terbury was elected chairman on mo- tion of John P. Carney of New Haven, and Joseph R. Manning of New Haven was appointed secretary.
 Upon assuming the chair MT. Ken drick addressed the convention in part as follows:
 q congratulate you upon the fact that the democracy-the real, true de- mocracy of Connecticut--is still true to its colors; also on the further fact that, as at all other conventions held by the democracy of the state this year, this convention has the unanimity and de- fpr inc tn win whit a fOra- runners of victory.
 T am glad that we agitate these questions-the question of finance upon which the democratic party has placed itself upon record as the party of the people. We have in this campaign the same old story of wrong against right. Wendell Phillips, Lloyd Garrison and John Brown were denounced as agta- tors, yet they made the election of a Lincoln possible. All agitations have had their inception in the brains of brave men.
 "The era of the money changers is passed. When they could pollute the temple is gone by. Wall street, aided by England, shall not longer dictate what measure of liberty we in this country must enjoy. I am sorry to see that some of our democratic comrades have deserted us-that they have con- cluded to ally themselves with the enc mics of Samuel J. Tilden. am sorry to see our friends depart from us. I hope they will come back Robert OConnor, New Haven dele gate-"Never, we don't want them We will not have them''
 The chairman-"We will succeed in l this election because we are right. I There is no 16 to i in this election ex- cept the Is of Hanna and 1 of Me- Kinley. The money Mckinley manag- CTS spend to corrupt the voters of this country demonstrates the interest Me- 1 Kinley and his managers feel for the 1 laboring man.
 1 If God Almighty hates a quitter, he l also surely hates hypocrite. and when 1 it comes to a selection between Bryan and Mckinley, honest men will choose Bryan.''
 1 In conclusion, the chairman said: l Everything of good is with our party I in this fight. Everything which goes for right and justice is for Bryan and l SeWall Let us now proceed, to nomin- ate a candidate for congress the peer of any man that can be nominated on the other side.'
