 Cary's Answer to League.
 New Haven, Sept 1O.--In an inter view to-day, given out for publication, Hon Donald G. Warmer of Salisbury, has come out in favor of Judge of Pro bate Cleaveland as the republican can didate for governor.
 Melbert B. Cary of Ridgefeld who probably will receive the democratic nomination for governor, has replied to the letter of the Economic league of New Haven asking him to define his position upon the proposition to call constitutional convention by executive proclamation. The last clause of the letter asked if he would be willing to stand upon the platform of his party. if the platform declared for a conyen- ton called in that way. MT. Cary says lnat he will stand upon the platform and upon his record.
 Mir Cary is the fourth gubernatorial candidate to reply to the letter sent by the league Mr Thayer and Judge Cleaveland and Mir Morgan have re sponded Mir Chamberlain and MT Cummings of Stamford are yet to be heard from. MT Cummings has an nouneed, however, that he is not can- didate. The letter reads:
 s'RitSefield, Sept 8, 1902. saThe Economic League of New Haven:
 "Gentlemen: Replying to your letter relative to my action upon certain questions, if elected governor, 1 can only say that if nominated 1 expect to stand upon the platform adopted and upon my record in the past.
 eff elected, it will be without having made single pledge or promise to any one regarding my future official action. and I shall be able to take the oath of office absolutely untrammeled.
 My record in relation to constitu- tional reform is an open book in more senses than one and since my work on the Connecticut constitution was pub Iished more than two years ago, long before the Economic league was born, the sincerity of my views as expressed cannot now be questioned.
 Respectfully yours,
 .sMELBEnL B. CARY.
 The letter was addressed to the Eco homie league, and received by Mir True man. the secretary, or rather, was re- ceived at MT Trueman's home. It ar rived during the absence of that gen tleman in Cleveland, where he has gone to secure material for the investigation of the relation of the trolley roads of New Haven to the municipality.
 The Swedish republicans of the state are holding a convention in New Brit ain to-day.
 The local republicans will hold their convention to elect delegates to the nominating convention for congress man next Monday evening. The only candidate in the field is Congressman sperry.
 The alaerity with which the New Haven delegates jumped at the excuse to throw down Judge Cleayeland shows that if the opportunity. created by his letter to the Economic league, had not presented itself the delegates would have discovered another. "where there's will there's a way" Hartford Times.
 The canvass for the democratic nomination for governor presents it. self in this way to the New London Telegraph: Sometimes ante-conyen- tion indications are deceiving, but un- less they point this time in exactly the opposite direction from the true one, the nomination of Melbert B. Cary for governor by the democratic conven- ton is assured on the first ballot. This is an indication that the democrats of Connecticut have their heads level, and that in one corner of the country, at least, harmony has arrived
 It was an unintentiona1 error to state that it was up to Robert Me Grath to name when and where the shrievalty convention shall be held. The matter is in the hands of a commit tee consisting of Willard D. Warren, New Haven; Robert McGrath, Water bury; Frank Norton, Meriden; James Downey, WaIlingford. Dr O'Sullivan of Derby, deceased, was also member of the committed The committee was named by the chairman of the last shrievalty convention and has the right to decide where the coming convention shall be held, and also name the tenn, porary chairman. Mir Warren being the first member of the committee it is plain that it is up to him and not MT McGrath to call a meeting of the com mittee for the purpose of settling the question.
