 Preparing for 8 Banner Raising.

The probate convention was held last night in the city court room and l resulted in q victory for Judge Lowe l by vote of 15 to A. J. W. Burns, chairman of the democratic town con- I mittee, called the meeting to order and after stating the end in view asked I for nominations for a presiding off1- cer. The Lowe men nominated Ed ward B. Hardie, and Thomas F. Me Mahon was named by the other side. l When the motion, was put MT Burns said he believed MT Hswdie was elect J ed, but this was doubted and then the chair called for a rising vote, and re- quested M J. Ryan and John s I Neagle to act as tellers. They report ed fifteen delegates in favor of MT I Hardie, and this being a majority Mir Burns declared him, the choice of the meeting MT Ryan inquired if the chairman knew whether or not each of the fifteen men who stood up and was counted had credentials, to which Mr Burns replied that he could not say, adding that they were counted l by MT Neagle and Mir Ryan and that he thought they knew the delegates well and would be likely to notice a strange face. MT Burns said the de- cision as rendered would stand unless some one doubted it. It went w. c. Moore was chosen secretary without opposition
 The chair appointed the following as committee on credentials one from each voting district: John $. Monagan, John J. Dawson, William IT. Johnson, l.. A. Archanbault, William Doran and Joseph Reardon. They re- ported the entire delegation.
 The roll was then called and each delegate answered his own name. Wa, terbury is, entitled to twelve delegates and on motion of Mir McMahon it was agreed that nominations be made for each delegate and that every person entitled to vote mention his choice ac, cording as the clerk called his name The result in each case up to tho eleventh man was 15 to IA for Lowe l delegates. When the twelfth nomina- ton was called for Guilfoile's forces nominated Michael Sheehy and the oT position put up John H. Condon, who received the full vote of the conven- tion, the Guilfoile forces supporting 4 Condon to show their contempt for Sheehy, whom they charge with turn ing tail upon them at the eleventh hour. The successful delegates are as follows. Mortimer Heffernan, J. H. Moran, c. c Russell, J. J Dawson, John Clarkin, F. LA Andrews, w. O. Moore, Louis o. Archambault, Thom- as F. FIaherty, Timothy O'Rourke, William Q. Doran, John H. Condon.

 Wolcott and Middlebl1ry are in this probate district, but as they have but four delegates the result of last nights meeting is equivalent to nomination for Judge Love- It was very inter.
 esting contest and considering that
 MT Guilfoile did not enter until after Lowe's fences were up, he kept tht judge hustling from start to finish a.sd
 his defeat is by no means an inglori
 ous one.
 The attendance was large and witt the exception of little amusement created by the GuiIfoile delegates al
 the expense of MT Sheehy, whicl amounted to nothing more than lit
 tie banter, the session was as orderly as a Quaker meeting.

 F It is the opinion of the New Yorl n Sun, that recent convert to republi ! canism, that Frank Waylant . Higgins has neither the character no ;, the ability to qualify for the gover norship of the state of New York. l
 we were living in the millennium M
 Higgins might do for governor, if ev z erybody else was busy. But thi < is not the millennium, and perhap
 MT Higgins will serve as well a anyone as fgurehead to point tn i, way to overwhelming and deserve a disaster.
