 The nomination of Noble E. Pierce of Bristol for attorney general on the democratic state ticket is generally conceded. The chances of MT, Pierce for election to this high office are eN- cellent.-New Britain Herald.
 A very curious incident of yester- day's speeches was that so many speakers said what they did not mean. Advocates of one man urged the nom ination of the other, and one orator declared that if his man was selected then one citizen who had never done SO before would this year vote the democratic ticket He meant all the time the republican ticketNHartford Courant.
 Mir Lilley, who would like to be Ongressman-at-large, will find 1t diff1- cult to explain away his connection with the beef trust. This connection, it is said. has now been finally sey- cred, but the way in which it was brought about does not commend itself to people who admire straightforward, manly methods Mir Lilley's candi- dacy will be damaging to the other nominees, and if the democrats act wisely it will be disastrous New fia- yen Union.
 The New Haven branch of the Eco homie league met last night and the main business transacted consisted or the election of Alderman George Wal lace. Attorney Oeorge M. Wallace, 0. 4. Rich, Frank J. Horan and william J. O'Brien as delegates to the state convention and the adoption of a reso- lution to the effect that the delegates be instructed not to seek the -ndorse- ment of anyone on any ticket to the offices of governor lieutenant-go governor, secretary of the state, treasurer, comp troller or attorney general.
 The ticket, as it stands, can scarcely be said to be of kind that will en- thuse republicans in a year when they stand in need of every stimulus that popularity and magnetism can lend. Nothing can be said against the per sonaIity of Mir Chamberlain. who is an estimable citizen of Meriden, and an honest. straightforward, amiable man. But he is not particularly identified with any issue, and he is not well known outside of his own town, except as q banker, which distinction is more apt to hurt than help him with the people.-New Haven Union.
 The new rule for representation in republican state conventions is as fol- lows: ..Resolyed, That the represen- tation in future republican state con xentions shall be as follows, viz: Two delegates from each town for each rep resentative in the house of representa- fiyes. and two delegates from each senatorial district, for such district. Providing, that in towns having more than one senatorial district within their limits, the delegates from such districts shall be elected in town con- yentions, but such delegates shall re- side in the districts respectively rep resented by them. The state central committee Is directed to formulate rules for the purpose of carrying this resolution into effect -a to insure it's operation"
 The New Haven Register says the at the republican convention does not amount to row of pins. It also says that in the recent constitutional con- vention Donald T. Warner of Sails bury was always ready to concede more than what was secured yesterday. His idea was that the town should be paramount in the matter of represen- tation, but was willing to increase the senate even to 60, which, if adopted, would under the, resolution passed yesterday give IS or 20 delegates to New Haven. In any case, under yesterdays resolution only two other towns would individually benefit in increased delegations in the state con- yentions, Bridgeport and Hartford. Waterbury and the other cities only compose portions of senatorial dis tricts, and it would be hard to prophe- sy how these towns will be treated in the readjustment by the next general assembly of senatorial districts.
