ties. He was educated at Yale univer- sity and graduated with honor. After his graduation he entered literary life in which he met with brilliant success and he now has an enviable reputation in Journalism in which he has been emil nently successful. He is known and esteemed as the editor of the Hartford Post and right here let me say that in regard to an article that appeared in The Post last evening from the city of Winsted in regard to town rep resentation, that that piece was pub- hshed in The Post without his knowl- edge or consent. Every one knows that these things are apt to happen in journalism.
 The candidate does not want inter- ference in legislation. He stands for disseverance from party and believes in acting for the good of all the people in the state. Connecticut approves of that attitude and he will if nominated be cordially supported by the voters of the state. I therfore have the honor of presenting the name of John Addison Porter as a candidate for governor.
 NTr. LtndsIey's Address.
 The nomination of Senator Lounsbury was seconded by Edward L. Linsley of North Haven, who said:
 The sentiments which I wish to offer have been presented to you in such a shining light (referring to MT Light of Norwalk) that mine seem to have lost their lustre In the words of Au- gustus Brandegee, "No man has a claim on the republican party, but the republican party has claim on every one" The republican party has a right to say to one candidate, Retire with the honors which you have ob tained'' and to the other, Remain at your post as secretaryto the president, and it has right to say and does say, to George E.

Our navy has accomplished great things in this war; but they tell us it is the man who handles the machine, the range finder, who accomplishes the re- suits. Now, in this contest I think the range finder will make a bull s-eye in this case, as believe in the nomination of George F. Lounsbury.
 The speech of MT. Linsley was well delivered and he was frequently inter- rupted by outbursts of applause.

 the nomination of John Addison Porter. In doing so he said:
 find myself. to-day in peculiar po- sition, hesitating between inclination and duty and honor. I have known one of the candidates many years. I respect him highly, but am sent here by a convention that favored MT. Por fer. and it is my duty to support him because if I did not I should betray the trust I accepted a thing that I would nrefer to ferfeit my right hand rather than do.
 John Addison Porter was born here, and we know him and respect him. To no man in Connecticut does President Mckinley owe as much as he does to MT. Porter. You will honor the presi- dent if you honor MT. Porter What ever happens, you are republicans, and will support republican candidates, but T hone in this convention you will vote for the candidate whose nomination ] second. John Addison Porter.
