and only two from the city wards, the country delegates being largely in the majority. The report of the committee on credentials stood 5 to 2 in favor of seating the contesting delegations from the first and third wards.
 We also desire to call attention to the fact that in voting upon the adoption of the majority and mi nority reports the decision was again with the country delegates.
 Under the rule adopted for voting upon the report of the committee on credentials, TO delegation whose seats were contested, were allowed to vote. This ruled out the con- tested seats in both the first and third wards, leaving the second and fourth ward delegates as the only city delegates entitled to a vote.
 The two contests were voted on separately, the First ward contest being the first to be voted on under call for division of the question. The First ward contestants were seated by vote of Al ayes to IT nays, the country delegates again casting the deciding vote.
 The GRAPHIC mentions these facts to show that the contesting dele gations from the two city wards had nothing to do in settling their own contest. They appealed to their fair minded bretheren from the country, and itheir appeals for jus tice and fair play was sustained by both the committee on credentials and the country delegates in the convention.

& Connecticut Man's Experience With 6
 Substitute Rathtub.
 One of the most ridiculous situationg which at the time bring the coldess sweat out on mans brow and evex after remain with him as a constant source of mirth occurred to a Shelton merchant He thought he would take bath, and as his fiat is minus one of ths chief requisites for the job-a bathtuE -he extemporized one out of a small washtub and enjoyed a cooling ab1u- tion.
 He had just concluded and stepped from the tub for the towel, when sud- denly the top hoop of the tub burst with a sharp report, and the man saw to bis horror that the whole contents of ths tub would soon be flooding the floor. At tha same moment he thought of the store beneath and the amount of dam age the water would do as it ran down through the ceiling, He is man of quick thought, and in moment he did the only thing possible-threw himself down beside the tub and, clasping his arms around it, held the already fast swelling slaves together. He was suo- cessful in keeping the water in-but what situationl He dared not yell, for he was hardly in condition to receive callers, especially as he knew that all In the block at the time were of the gentler sex, and he realized at once that the only thing left for him was to stay in that position until the return of his wife, who was out on a shopping expe- dition.
 Like the boy who saved Holland, he manfully remained in his most uncom- sortable position until relief in the shape of his wife appeared. Then, to cap the climax, when he asked her to get rope or any old thing to tie about the tub, she, after long fit of uneontrolla. ble laughter, asked him why he didn't carry tub and contents out to the sink room and pour out the water With look that froze the smile on her face he did as she said and without word don, ned his clothing and wandered out into the cold, unfeeling world, crushed and huniliated man.--Ansonia Seutl. asl

IT it is no doubt true that S'politics make strange bed fellows. " For instance, it is a little queer to see the Prsss- -Eaqle, which four years ago opposed the straight Democratic ticket increment on the grounds that it was simply a new scheme to install Triplett and Mccoy, who had held office under che Republican compromise regime,
 in office again-it now seems a little q ueer to see our esteemed contem- porary championing Maj. Mccoy fos sheriff. If Mccoy was objectionable then, he should be objectionable now. What change has come over tue spirit of our nelghbor's dream?

IT seems that this country is now starting out on career Of conquest and that We are to have a Greater United States, The policies of the past under which we have observed peace with all and entangling al. Hancies with none, are apparently to be abandoned, and we are to go into the land grabbing business as against the Elropean powers. The end no man can foresee.
