very little actual business settled In
conferences following the adjournment

cratic state convention reassembled in
the Hyperion theater with conflicting
opinions as to the final makeup OF the
state ticket. 1t was evident that the

port of the committee on resolutions.
The platform was read and unani-
mously adopted.
The platform heartily indorses the
nomination of Alton b. Parker forpres-
ident and Henry q. Davis for vice
president, and ratifies and confirms the
declaration Of principles adopted at the
Democratic national convention held at
st. Louis July 8.
Immediately following the unani-
nous selection of presidential electors
Chairman Rogers called for the pres
entation Of the names Of candidates
for governor. He recognized James
Webb Of Hamden, who presented the
name Of A. Heaton Robertson Of New
Haven. The nomination was seconded
BY Judge Walsh Of Danbury. Thomas
y. Tanning Of Norwich placed the
name Of Mayor Thayer Of Norwich be-
fore the convention as the choice Of the
delegates Of eastern Connecticut.

GRANT FLANKS BROWN ARMY.
Fierce Conflict In Open Valley Between
Two Strips Of Woods, In Which the
Blues Are Repeatedly Driven Back
BY General Bell.


Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, Va,
Sept. s.-After practically continuous
fighting for fourteen hours on the de-
Tense line established by General Bell,
on line running north and south
through Thoroughfare gap, hostilities
were stopped by General Corbin in
order that the men who had been on
the firing line for practically thirty-six
hours might be relieved.
Just before the recall was sounded
Colonel Wagner, chief umpire, sus-
tanned the advance Of the blue army
under General Grant practically around
the right OF the main fighting force
OF General Bell This would give the
advantage to the blue army on its face,
but there are many other points to be
taken into consideration which may
have bearing on the general result.
Besides this final movement, a battle
was fought in which two brigades of
the blue hammered one and a half
brigades Of the brown just to the north
Of the final fanking movement. Be
sides having a superior force. the blue
army masked a strong battery, consist
Ing Of twenty guns. which commanded
the brown defense line Each side oc-
cupied strip of woods and fought
over an open space Of about 900 yards
which sloped down in the center. Time
after time the blue army veDtured out
In the open only to be ruled back bv
the chief umpire. Twice hostiIities
We're stopped that decisions might be
rendered.
Blue Artillery Fire Terrific.
When the battle opened in this place
General Bell lad no artillery to oppose
that Of the blue army, which was pour
ing a terrific fire into the woods at
short range Shortly after the first ces-
sation which lasted for half an hour.
General Bell threw battery into ac-
ton directly opposite that of the blue.
This battery, however, consisted Of
only eight guns.
For fifteen minutes an artillery duel
was fought with great yigor. At the
same time the musketry lire continued
both in the open. on each side and
from the edge of the woods. There
was q lively mfxup III the woods also.
and the roar Of the battle was repro
dneed with the exception of the hiss
ing noise Of the bullets and the shrek
OF the shells.
At first tie brown army seemed to
have superior force ana also was
strongest to position. After lighting
fiercely for an hour hosulities were
stopped and j ruling made BY Colonel
Wagner to the effect that the blue
force was fepulsed iii the gttack. but
not in such d way as to defeat the blue.
The blue force was ordered to with.

1t ii now apparent that Oyama's pur-
pose by pressing the Russian positions

right wing was thrust around the Rus

withdrawing his main army to the
