HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. Eek Gov.
Morgan G. Buckley Of this city was named
by the Republican caucus of the General
Assembly this afternoon for the United
States Senate, TO succeed Senator Joseph
r. Hawley on March next. The vote in
caucus was by roll call which the Bulkeley
men succeeded in adopting, in spite of the
strong opposition Of the supporters OF
Samuel Fessenden OF Stamford the leading
candidate against Mr. Bulkeley.
One ballot settled the matter. Gov
Buckley received 1854 votes to 70 for Fes-
senden; o for Cong ressmen L, j. Hill of
Norwalk. and for exGov. George p.
Mclean Of Simsbury Gov. Mclean de-
clined to Permit the Use Of bis name and

On motion OF Mr.. Fessenden, who is a
member Of the State Senate, the nominal
ton was made unanimous, and later. when
Gov Bulkeley was brought into the hall
Mr.. Fessenden led IN three cheers for him.
Gov. Buckley is president Of the Aetna
Life Insurance Company, and was elected
Governor Of the state In November, 1888
taking his seat in January, 1859. Two
years later the election OF State officers
was in dispute, and as the Senate was
Democratic. while the House was Republi-
can, there was deadlock and Gov. Buckley
remained in Office two years longer.

term that he used crowbar TO force open
