CONVENTION HELD
And Democrats Set Up For
Slaughter Again.

Clinton. oct. 1.-THE democrats OF
this district held their senatorial con
vention in the town hall, at 3 o'clocb
this afternoon.
There was but slim attendance OF
delegates The democrats of the dis
trict are not taking much interest in
the senatorial contest the district be-
ing overwhelmingly republican.
Charles H. Gentsch of this place
called the convention to order. William
II. Fay, a rising young attorney of this
place, was nominated by Joseph F. Nc
Govern of Worcester, and elected by
reclamation.
Mr.. McGovern was then named a
member of the state central commit

to constitute the chairman of the sew
eral town committees a district COM

sine die.
ANOTHER CONTEST.
Since Torrent Hose Company was
beaten in the trials by Cataract Hose
Company, members of each company
have been trying to arrange for 9, con-
test between all the companies. The
details will be perfected in a day or
two. Torrent Hose Company is not
convinced THAT Cataract can make d
hydrant again more quickly than it
can, and is exceedingly anxious to run
once more under the same rules as
governed the trials of Saturday
FOR REMOVAL OF BODIES.
This evening there was a meeting of
the cemetery committee of st. John s
Church Judge John w Corcoran was
present. He detailed the substance of
an interview with the metropolitan
water board, in Which the members of
the board expressed the desire that the
cemetery committee would begin the
work of removing the bodies from the
old cemetery to the new as soon as
possible.
The new ground is not ready to re-
ceive the bodies, although 20 acres of it
are being prepared by a force of so
men as rapidly as possible The COM
mittee is having difficulty in locating
lots described in the various plans in
its possession, but will proceed with
all necessary caution.
The work of shifting $500 bodies from
the old ground to the new is no light
task, as the committee realizes. In the
meantime the general anxiety that the
new ground shall be put into use in
creases. The old ground is daily be-
coming more difficult of access and
none contemplated the immediate re-
moval of their recently buried dead
with equanimity.

firemen's banquet Saturday evening,

too numerous to mention. All of these
things were read by Clinton people in
the Clinton column of The Spy, some
of them "a hours before and some only
10 ors12 hours before. The fact was
considered worth comment by people
here, although it is a usual thing.
