clerk; Senator Graham of the seventh district retired; Senator Woodruff of the eighth and Senator Tracy of thM 1 fifth were candidates for chairman Senator Graham being elected receiy- ing 20 out Of 50 votes. On motion of l Representative Chatfield of New Ha- ven a motion was passed empowering the chairman of the state central com mittee to call the first caucus of the l county delegation at future sessions as three calls had been sent out in the past week, one by Chairman Gates, one by MT Lilley and third by Rep- lIesentative Griswold of Guilford. 1 At this point Senator Graham re- tired and was succeeded by MT Gris- | wold of Guilford, who called for the nomination of candidates for messen- gers and doorkeepers The following list was presented:
 Henry Ward Beecher of Southbury. | John A. H. Heineman of WalIing- ford.
 l J. Samuel Scranton of Madison
 John Warner of Orange. Burton l.. Hoskins of Hamden<
 Jesse H. Rice of New Haven.
 Alonzo Jeffery of Meriden. l. w. Robbins of Derby. Anp1nfOrmal ballot was taken which placed MT Rice in the lead with 9,. votes. The second formal ballot gave MT Rice majority as he received IS out of the 31 votes cast.
 MT Bicknell who had named Mir Jeffery, the one colored man, thought he ought to be chosen, saving that he was not very black and though tooy stout for a messenger would make good doorkeeper." MT Chatfield said that the colored men and the Italians would be taken care of by the comp troller, an announcement which dis posed of MT Jeffery. More ballots were taken, the contest being between
 MT Chittenden of Guilford and MT l Warner of Orange. On the seventh ballot MT Warner received 20 votes 1 against 12 for MT Chittenden The ballot was invalid as two more votes
 were cast than the representatives l present but when the vote was de- l clared one of MT Chittenden's supportaa CTS moved the nomination of MT War-s. ner and the convention was at an end.
