| proving our party measures; thousands
more may for the sake of saving the
| party organization vote their own tickel
| while inwardly hoping that their votes
may not elect their candidate.
Infallibility is not claimed for the re-
publican party, but its patriotic purpose
| is claimed. We boast not Of the future,
but take pride in the great measure in
| augurated and carried to q successful
issue by which equality of rights has
! been forever assured to all of our peo-
| pie and by which the chances of the
poor man to make Roadway in the world
| have been UNNECESSARILY increased,
The revenue necessary to defray the in
creased expenses of the government
have been raised in such a way as to
impose the least possible burden, and
| the unparalleled prosperity of the coun-
try testifieS to the wisdom of the 1inan-
cial measures passed by congress and
faithfully executed by the president and
his cabinet.
We enter the contest will full conf
dence that the republican party, led by
that patriot, William Mckinley, will be
entrusted with power and charged with
the responsibility of the government for
another four years,
When in his speech Mr.. Buck referred
to President Mckinley and his conduct
of the war the delegates cheered and
applauded. More applause greeted ev-
cry reference to Mr.. Mckinley.
For secretaries Frederick Scott of
Plymouth, Francis Healy of Windsor
Locks and George b. Human of Wind
ham were nominated and elected, there
being three secretaries of the conven-
ton. Mr. Scott was clerk of the last
sevate, Mr. Healy clerk of the last
house, and Mr.. Human assistant clerk
Of the last house
When nominations for members of
the committee on credentials We're call
ed for, Samuel Fessenden of Stamford
rose and said that he wanted to offer
a resolution. He said that he under
stood that there We're two contested
delegations from two senatorial dis
tricts and he moved that in calling the
roll the Nineteenth and Twentieth dis
tricts be omitted in line with the GUS
tom in all national conventions. He
said that no man ought to be judge
in his own cause, What he wanted was
simply fair play. (Applause) What
we want" he said. lis to elect the next
governor of this commonwealth to give
the next vote of this grand old state to
Mr.. Mckinley (Applause). Weighed
with those considerations nothing else
was of weight in the coming contest.
He wanted no French proxies. 1t was
fair play for no one to be Judge In his
own cause. He wanted the appoint
ment of members of the credentials
committee from the Nineteenth and
Twentieth districts omitted until after
the contests in Cornwall and Bethlehem
We're settled.
e. d. Robbins of Wethersfield agreed
that no man should be judge of his own
case. But he reminded the convention
that the delegates were delegates from
towns and that there was no justice in
DISTINGUISHING the delegates from other
towns in the districts because there
We're contests in those two towns. He
referred to the rules which provide that
there shall be members from each sena-
torial district on the committee on Gre
dentials. 1t always made bad feeling
made. He wanted to stand by the rules

members of the credentials committee
should be named from the towns In

replied, saying that the rules further
provided that when a senatorial district
had named its member of the commit
tee the convention should appoint that
member Who was to determine until
the contest was settled whether the
members named by the delegates from
the two districts were regular delegates
or not until after the contests We're set
tied? In support Of his position he
quoted from Mr.. Woodford of New York
in the latter's speech to the national
a speech on the selection
