It Is very pleasing to the republicans of Holland county that Congressman E. Stevens Henry, of Vernon, was re-nomi- mated by exclamation, at Hartford, last Saturday. Congressman Henry, by his record in congress, has greatly increased his popularity and hold upon the voters since he was elected two years ago. The convention met at Saengerbund Hall at 11.3O, Saturday morning, and was called to order by Charles l.. Burdett, secretary Frisbie, of Hartford, was elected chair- man. George A. CosgrOve, of Willington, was appointed on the committee of cre- dentials;- Senator E. B. Fuller, of Holland, on resolutions Adolph Korper, of Will lington, on the congressional committee. Colonel Burdett, of Hartford, nominated MT. Henry, and the nomination was sec- onded by Ira E. Hicks, of New Britain, Senator E. E. Fuller, of Holland, and by Dr. R. w. Griswold, of Rocky Hill, who made a motion that the nomination be made by exclamation. The motion was carried with great enthusiasm. A con- mittee notified MT. Henry of the nomina- tiOn, and he was escorted to the hall, he being received with cheers and applause. MT. Henry made stlong speech of ac- ceptance, dealing with the financial and political questions of the day. B. Stevens Henry was born in Gill, Mass, in 1886, and removed to Rockville early in life. He grew up in and with that prosperous community, and is one of its leading citi- zens. He Is a successful business man, @ large owner of real estate, proprietor of a fine farm, breeder of choice cattle, and a manager of various other important inter- ests, being at the head of the Peoples Savings Bank. He is 8 director in the First National Bank of Rockville, also treasurer of the Holland County Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and was mayor of Rockville in 1894-5. MT. Henry was 8 member of the house of representatives in the general assembly of 1883, state senate in 1887 and 1888, was 8 delegate-at-large IO InO AOpuOAAOCAh hoSOAO1cSA OOAA 'OAAOAOAA AAA 1888, was state treasurer for four years, from 1889 to 1893. His record in this office is we'll known, and his methods have received the heartiest endorsement of the taxpayers of the state. Under his administration the state tax was elimi- mated, the state debt largely reduced by the payment of all matured and optional bonded obligations. He was the republi- can candidate for congress in 1892, but was defeated by Lewis Sperry by plural 1 fly Of 562. In 1894 Henry defeated Sper- ry by 5,2O7, running 7O3 votes ahead oi the state ticket He will probably be re- turned to congress this fall by large majority.

@ revival of the scheme to bring about the withdrawal of both Sewall and Wat son and the naming of 8 populist for second place on the Bryan ticket.
 The sending out of campaign literature from both Mckinley and Bryan head quarters has reached unheard of propOr- tions this year, and it seems difficult to believe that all of these documents will be read. Early in the campaign it was discovered that the appro priatiOD for the folding of congressional speeches in the house folding room at the capital, was ex- hausted. The Mckinley managers estab- lished 6 force of folders at their head quarters, while the Bryan managers have tried to have all their congressional litera- ture folded and put in envelopes in the senate folding room, but they have not been able to keep it up with orders al though they are handling something like a half million documents every twenty four hours, and they will also probably start folding room of their own. More than 12,OOO,O00 documents have been sent out by the Mckinley committee, but many of them have been shipped in bulk the largest shipment at one time being five carloads.
 The Mckinley managers are inclined tc make light of Senator Faulkner's saying that the democrats are going to make z strong fight with the expectation of carry ing New York and New Jersey, but MT Faulkner has just returned from Nev York, where he participated in 8 con ference held by Senator Jones with thC democratic managers of that state, anC he insisted that he is in dead earnest, ant that Bryan has fighting chance to carry both states.

Washington Letter.
Washington, September IA,

Washington, September IA, 1896.
 The public declaration of President Cleveland and members of the adminstra- tion against Bryan excited comparatively little interest among the politicians, al- though, of course, the republican mana gers professed to consider them of great importance. The Bryan people had long ago discounted those declarations, which they knew from the day that the Chicago convention adopted It's platform and nomi- mated its ticket, would in due time be made. The Bryan managers do not care a continental about the personal letters that either President Cleveland or mem- bers of his cabinet may write; but they are deeply interested in the extent to which the president intends to use his off cial influence to prevent federal office holders working for or voting for Bryan. As yet nothing official has been given out on that subject, but rumOr has been so busy that many officials who are inclined to support Bryan are keeping mum until they can find out whether they can do so without D6lng QlSmlSS0U.
 The using of the journal of the Knights of Labor, the official organ of that organi- zation, as campaign document by the Bryan managers is being widely comment ed upon, and the fact Is being recalled that the National Economist, then the organ of the Farmers Alliance was simi- larly used by the democratic managers in 1899. A big row in the Farmers Alliance was the result of that dicker and the Ma t1onal Economist, which at one time had more than one hundred thousand paid circulation, did not long survive the row. The constitution of the Knights of Labor declares that organization to be strictly nOn- partisan and 1t Is well-known that all parties are represented in it's ranks, and that the turning of its national organ into a campaign document will bc resented by some of them is almost certain.
 There are two opinions about the re- lation existing between Tom Watson and the populist national committee. One that Watson is carrying out a a concert ed plan to scare the democrats into with drawing Sewall and putting him on the regulat ticket, and the other that Watson is working on his own hook and against the advice of Chairman Butler and other members of the populists national com mittee. While assuring all enquiries of their belief that Sewall ought to be re- tired and Watson put in his place, both Chairman Butler and Secretary Edgerton of the Populist national committee, take especial pains to add that Tom Watson l went into Kansas and Nebraska of his own accord and without either the orders or advice of the national committee. Many democrats are hopping mad at the tone of Watson's speeches, and say they will resent putting him on their regular ticket in every possible way: Some of these men were very friendly towards Watson's claims before he took the stump. There is belief among the poli- ticians that Mir. Sewall would greatly please the managers of Bryans campaign by voluntary retiring from the ticket, and that a pretty strong lntimation of this has been given to him. It is said that demo- cratic antagonism to Watson has caused
