The Mclean republicans appeared to be in favor of the candidature of Edwin J. Hungerford of this place and MT Hungerford is giving consider able attention to his canvass. He represented New Milford in the last general assembly and made a great many acQuaintanceS who are now rem daring him good service. He is backed by J. Henry Roraback, the state cen teenth district, against whom very active warfare was waged when the central committee was reelected in the last campaign.
 MT SHungerfOrd is a comparatively young man and had never been active ly identified with politics until the last campaign when he was a delegate to the state convention, then making the acquaintance of the active political workers in both factions of the party
 Sheriff NelliS is understood to be quite actively looking after his own interests, but the republicans in this part of the state believe that he has a great deal of hay out and must work with redOubled vigilance if he gathers in a sufficient amount of it to be on top when the county convention bal lots are counted.
 It is reported here that States At- torney Fessenden of Fairfield county, who was head pusher for Hon Donald G. Warner in the last campaign, will not desert his friend, Sheriff NelliS, in the campaign which is now being waged so energetically and it is also reported that MT Warner will do every thing he can in behalf of Sheriff Nellis, which is of course expected of him in view of the sheriff's action in the last gubernatorial campaign.
 It is probable that Litchtield county will be plowed from end to end in the effort to secure delegat tes in it to nom- The fact that he comes from section of the county for many years unrepre- sented by sheriff gives considerable reason to believe that his strength will be formidable and probably sufficient to win.
 Chairman Fyler and his friends will endeayor to see to it that one section of the towns in the Torrington end of the county sends delegates favorable to MT Hungerford and it will be natural for the towns in the New Mil ford end of the county to favor their local candidate. It now looks as if it would be battle royal to the very end and a spicy time in old Litchfield county may be looked for.
 MT IIungerford was born on a farm at Gaylordsville, which is a district of New Milford, and for short time re- sided in New Haven, being in the em- ploy of Coe & Jenks, the grocers. | Later he returned to New Milford and engaged in the grain and feed business, retiring from that business to attend to some investments which are said tC have been extremely fortunate in a financial Sense.-[ Leader.
 The above article from the New Ha. ven Leader will be read with deep in. terest throughout the county. MI Hnngerford made an excellent record as representative in the last Legisla- ture, and is popular citizen. As sec retary of the New Milford fair he has made an acceptable and capable official Should he enter the race for the shrievalty nomination, as now seems probable, he would make lively can vass and a capable official if elected.
