 Committeeman John P. Carney of this city has been displeased for some IlIIlC Nlll lllC dltCSSSN eSItAloNN VI SAie'iA man Clinton B. Davis, and it was stat ed 8 few days ago that Carney would attempt at first oportunity to get an expression of opinion from MT. Davis.
 Carney is said to be looking for that opinion this morning as the only reply he obtained from his statement that he was present to find out how the chair man of the committee stood on the Chicago platform and ticket was that the chairman stood ready to carry out the instructions of the state conven- ton. Whatever the state convention to be called decided that he would en- deavor to carry out.
 MT. Carneys fruitless attempt to. poll the committee as to opinions was fol- lowed by report of the Chicago dele gates, read by Judge Harrison. The substance of the report, as already pub lished, was that the delegates had re- fused to endorse the platform and that ten of their number had refused to participate in the selection of candi- date.
 Messrs. Houlihan and Kennedy had voted for Russell once and Pattison once.
 When MT Harrison had concluded his report, Committeeman Eli D. Weeks of Litchfield introduced the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That the report of the del- egates to Chicago be accepted and that their course be approved as being in accordance with the platform adopted at Hartford, June 10, 1896" A substitute motion was offered by George A. Smith of Wallingford, thank ing Delegates Houlihan and Kennedy for the action they took and endorsing it. This was lost by a viva voce vote, those in favor appearing to number about five. The Weeks resolution was then adopted.
 There was something of a sensation when Delegate William Kennedy arose and said: q find that the sentiment l for silver is very strong in my dis trict and in that of MT. Brown, the secretary. I am grieved to see that my old personal friend, Thomas M. Waller, 1 is interested in third ticket move ment. MT Waller was elected gover- nor of this state by the rank and file of the party at a time when A. F. Burr 1 anu OLllcE plOIilllltlll ut1ilDCIdtS Ol lIt older element were opposed to him. Now, when the rank and file needs him, | MT. Waller should be with them. T learn, also, that some members of ] this committee are engaged in the third party movement. If so, they should re- sign. If you are not for us, you are against us. A man may just as well go over altogether and vote for Mckinley as for the third party ticket. T would suggest to this committed
 that in drafting the call, the names of Bryan and Sewall be inserted so as to | insure the nomination of presidential | Sewall."
 MT. Kennedy's speech was applauded l by the silver men, and evoked no com
 ment from the others
 1 The committee then adopted a call for
 the convention to be held in this city
 on September 16 The call is as fol lows:
 "The democratic electors and suct
 other electors of this state, who favo, 1.-the principles of the democratic party
 are hereby notified to choose delegates
 to attend the democratic state conven. tion to be held at the Hyperion theater l New Haven, September 16, 1896, at 1o:3 o'clock a. m, for the purpose of nomi fnating candidates for presidential cleo tors and state officers''
 Then follows the usual routine rule. regarding primaries, etc.
 A resolution of coincidence and re
 spect was passed on the death of Sir
 ney P. Ensign of Lime Rock, ant
 Messrs. Weeks, Vance and Carey wer,
 appointed to have it engrossed, pub
 lished and presented to the family.
