SCORING THE CONVENTION.
A Vigorous Expression OF the Feeling
In Connecticut Cities.
(From the New London Day.

The constitutional convention Of Con-
noCtiCut, held in the year 1902. Is no more
Peace to its ashes. Ii lived too long, and
died III gnominy, and will go laundering
down the ages as the most stupcndouS ca
ample of bitterness ir big things that ever
was dignilied by the attention of a com
monwcath for AZ weary months. Called
for the purpose OF recognizing a principle ,
for the purpose Of reforming the outrage
ously unfair representation in the Con
nccticut Legislature, the convention has
shown itself from the outset to be wholly
without intent to grant simple justice to
the great majority of the people of this
state. IntrenChed in a position of power
justified by nothing in the world but It's
own existence for many years, the small
towns of the state have stubbornly refus,
to yield any portion of the undue influence
they exert upon the affairs of the import
ant interests of the state. Their doles dtcs
have pretended to an heroic devotion to
the principle of town represcntaion--to the
theory that government in this state is for
the benefit OF the woodChuCks and molt 5
of barred hill townships rather than for
the masses OF human beings who populate
the busy cities and manufacturing ccntcrs
OF the state. What has really animated
them has been vanity the paltry pride
of oftiCiaism, the determination to mix
their myers in the affairs of state in =
wholly unjustifiablc deeree-not because
it was right that the few should dominate
the great body of the people, but because
they could.
Never has "A constitutional convention
or any other supposedly representative
body in an American commonwealth so
utterly failed to grasp the gravity of It's
obligations, never has narrow provincial
ism more fiagrantly advertised its incapa-
city to recognize manhood rights. From
