 The adjourned meeting of the dem ocratic town and city delegates met in the police court room last night and nominated Attorney F. F. Guilfoile as candidate to represent Waterbury at the constitutional convention. Con- siderable lobbying was done before the delegates got down to business, but lit tie was heard ill favor of anyone but Mir Guilfoile. E. J. Finn presided and F. T. Reeves acted as secretary, the same officers that officiated week ago. The roll call showed that forty delegates were present, twenty-two from the town and eighteen from the city. The chairman called for nomin- ations, but before anyone had a chance to be heard ill that direction James T. Fitzgerald produced q petition from the Central Labor union and moved that it be read. The motion was carried unanimously. The communication was as follows:
 Waterbury, Conn, Oct 21, 1901. To the Nominating Convention Assem-
 bied:
 Mir Chairman and Delegates: As the object of this convention is to nominate a man to represent the people at the constitutional convention. which has been called by the people, to amend laws which have been in force since ISIS. and in the last forty or fifty years have become of great advantage to the dominant party, and believing IL would be a waste of time 10 send men to that convention to amend laws that have been of such great benefit to their party; men who have been so inactive. towards such reform, until they have been actually forced to advocate it by progression and the young men of the twentieth century; therefore, we, the representatives of organized labor or Waterbury heartily indorse the Hon F. F. GIilfoile to represent the people of this city at that convention.

 Mir Bates then moved that the joint meeting adjourn and that the town delegates come together to elect town committee. Chairman Finn thought the Joint meeting had no right to pass yote requesting the town delegates to come together. He believed mo- tion to adjourn would be all right and then let the town delegates arrange for their own meeting. Chairman Hoiohan of the town committee was called upon to state what he thought of inc question. He said the motion to adjourn was the proper thing The town delegates, he said, would De called together within week or 70, when the proposed new primary laws woultl be in shape to be submitted to them. MT Bates didn't like this He said the question of new laws was something they had a right to act upon ana that if they saw fit to take them up then he saw no reason why they didn't have that right.
 Robert Mackie: Where does the city come in on this question? | thought the town government was about to go out of existence. but this does not look that way The town delegates want to make rules to govern the city. Now. i'll few weeks mor,, the town will be something of the past and as all Waterbury will then be in ended in the city, think the city del egates should have something to say about the new rules''
 Alter a few more remarks on the subject by different members the mo- tion to adjourn was put and carried.
