THE CONNECTICUT CONVENTION.

1t has never been the practice OF Connecticut
Republicans 10 instruct their chosen delegates
10 the National Convention In favor Of partic'
ular candidate The State Convention at New
Haven Yesterday, AT which. according 10 Gus
tom both the district delegates and the dele
gates at large were elected. simply followed
precedent in leaving the delegation untran-
melled by Instructions And. although there
was some talk by ovcrzcalous but injudicious
parisans OF testing the sense Of the c0nvcn-
ton as TO It's preference among the candidates,
Il was Wisely resolved since the only effect Of Ii
would be to provoke unnecessarily personal and
fractional differences to refrain from any action
that might seem intended to influence the minds
OF delegates Ii was quite evident, however.
that but two candidates Mckinley and Reed,
entered into consideration. 1t Is not strange
that the jealous advocates Of each should claim
a ma jorlty In the absence either Of instructions
or an avowal Of preference on the part Of the
convention or OF committals or pledges by the
delegates themselves.
The impression has gone abroad that the rival
interests Of Mckinley and Reed We're represent
ed by Mr.. John A. Porter, of Hartford. and the
Hon. Samuel Fessenden. Of Stamford. and that
in some way the ambition OF Mr.. Porter to be
Governor and Of Mr. Fcsso ndcn 10 be United
States Senator might be involved In the srug-
gle for control Of the delegation In this view
the fact that Mr. Porter was not elected as dele
gate from his own town. but only appeared In
the convention as a substitute and was not elect
ed delegate to st. Louis while Mr. Fessenden
was delegate from his own town and elected
delegate-at-large 10 ST. Louis. might seem TO
indicate in some degree the preference Of the
convention. But this. we apprehcnd Is not the
! fact. The significance Of the failure OF the one
and success of the other Is doubtless chiefly per-
sonal Mr.. Fesscndcn was Speaker Of the last
House Of Representatives. and has elements Of
! personal popularity which have not been dis
turbed by aggresslveness or thrust In further.
ance Of his Senatorial aspirations Setting these
considerations aside, II seems TO us quite likely
that the delegation to ST. Louis will be evenly
divided between Mckinley and Reed. This ap-
pears the more probable from the fact that an
incomplete canvass Of leading citizens Of ths

One Of the most striking things in connection
with the forcible passage of the Greater New
York bill by the Assembly is the fact that it
was damned through in the teeth of strong
opposition by the representatives, Of the COM
munites principally concerned. Brooklyn cast
II votes against the measure and only for it,
while the New York members cast % votes
against it and only in its favor. Thus 40 Of
the Assemblymen from these cities declared
their opposition. but II was set aside as of no
consequence rs were also the vetocs Of Mayors
Strong and Wurster. There never was a greater
travesty of government by the people than the
passage of this bill for the effacement of Brook
lyn by force and without giving It's citizens any
chance to know on what terms the union with
New-YOrk Is to be effected

an impossibility that the COnsecrated One may

his party from destruction. The situation has

1t is rather late in the session for bringing
forward bill to rcOrganiZc the management
of the Brooklyn Bridge. but not too late to pass
such bill II the Legislature is in earnest to put
an end to the abuses and scandals that have pre-
vailed in connection with the Howell regime.
The bill introduced by Mr.. O'Grady puts the
appointment Of the Bridge trustees in the hands
of the Mayors where it should be lodged. and
continues the Mayors and Controllers as trus-
tees ex-ofiicio. 1t provides for two trustees to
represent Brooklyn and one to represent this
city. making a board Of seven in all. the APP
