 read what have to say.''
 Following is Judge Cleaveland's pa
 per in full:
 q am very glad to greet you all tonight l have had occasion more than once before to value your support, and l wish to say to you now that am tonight profoundly grate- full for this expression of your confidence. While l have never won any political cam paign by undue confidence, let me in all humility say to you that, with the encour agement have received from the reInotest lieve that with the united support of New
 Haven, its great population, its powerful
 party organizations, and its delegates to the state convention at Hartford, # is more
 than possible that the nomination may come to New Haven. Can count on you. as the loyal representatives of the party to which we belong, to make that nomination pos sible? My friend, Mayor Studley. has paved the way. Perhaps this is an appropriate time for me to say that have been assured that shall have the vote of New Haven in the coming state convention for governor. and that my name will be presented to that
 convention by member of that delegation. In view of the reports to the contrary which have recently been in circulation. respectfully refer anyone who questions the accuracy of this announcement to the dis tinguished chairman of the New Haven delegation.
 Some inquiries have been made-even by
 my friends-as to whether I expect to be a candidate for two offices at the same time. Let me say to you, in confidence, that If I should secure the nomination for governor of this state. 1 should not expect at the probate convention few weeks later to be nominated for judge of probate for the district of New Haven; for have been too long In the probate office not to realize that the performance of the duties of that office would seriously Interfere with the duties of COnnecticut's chief executive.
 l have in my pocket letter from the honored pastor-emeritus of the church with which I have the honor to be connected. writer by disclosing its contents. He only incidentally refers to the matter in which I am at this time deeply interested, and does not advise me to pursue it; but l can say to you in all sincerity that I value more the expressions of confidence in that letter, coming from one who knows me best, than I would any office to which I might aspire if in order to attain it l were obliged to forfeit his and your confidence Let me say furthermore, that whether I am ever anything, or allow my friends, as far as have any influence with them, to do any thing which I should be ashamed to dis close to the writer of that letter. It may
  monwealth that I ever be it's chief execu- tive. It is important to us all that those seeking that office do nothing which would compromise their self-respect or their in tegrity. Whether l secure high office or not I desire to urge it upon the young men of this city and of the state of Connecticut that office should never be secured by the saeri- flee of what is. best.
 Now that you have fairly started me In the race for the gubernatorial nomination, let me say that I shall remain in the race to the finish, and whatever may be the out come let assure you that your efforts in my behalf have always been and will al ways be deeply appreciated. I sincerely | thank you.''
