The convention of delegates to
 elect delegates to the democratic
 convention for judge of probate met
 in the city court room last evening. Francis P. Guilfolle called the meet
 ing to order, after which James A..
 Hynes was elected chairman and M.
 V. Blansfield secretary. The dele gates chosen are of course out for
 Robert A. Lowe, as there is no one
 going to make fight against him. The following were appointed com mittee on credentials: Thomas Fla herty and John J. Brophy. Delegates were then chosen as follows: John H. Moran and P. J. Cavanaugh, from
 the first ward; John O'Brien and
 John J. Dawson, from the second ward; M. " Blansfield and M. F.
 Carmody, from the third ward; Will
 liam Turley, Joseph Worsley and
 James Walsh. from the fourth ward;
 William McGrath, William Doran and
 Martin Keefe, from the fifth ward;
 Hubert M. Rigney, from the sixth
 district. Each man is to appoint his
 own alternate. AS the district of Wa
 terbury comprises Wolcott and Mid
 dlebury, the delegates elected last
 night will meet some evening, per-
 haps next week, to make the nomina-
 tion. Judge Lowe will receive the
 nomination and there Is little ques-
 tion that he will again be successful at the polls. The men present at the
 convention last evening said that Lowe will prove just as big vote
 getter the coming election as he has the past few years and that he will
 badly trounce his opponent, Attorney M. J. Byrne, the republican nominee.
 The Colored Republican club held a meeting in the rooms of the Re- publican club on Bank street last night and listened to an address by J. E.. Kefford, secretary of the club, in which he endeavored to explain away the indignities heaped upon the colored people in connection with the Brownsville affair, something which has stuck in the necks of the best forces among the colored people. Mr Kefford made an able plea to have this incident pushed into the back ground and install loyalty to party principles in its place, but even the speaker appeared somewhat mistrust- full of the success of this proposition, seeing that so many colored folks have vowed to avenge the insult of fered the negro race in the summary treatment dealt out to the black regi- ment over the unfortunate incident at Brownsville. The Rev, Chanceford Fairfax, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, gave short talk. He was followed by J. L. Halle, who predict ed that majority of the colored voters of Waterbury will support Taft and Lilley. William E. Curtis hoped the colored voters would not take the Brownsville matter too serl- ously. Alfred Blake scented trouble, still he felt that Taft and Lilley will come out of the mixup with flying colors. l.. V. Johnson and J. w. Butts spoke enthusiastically of the COlulHS tA6CuOu COuLeSl duQ Wdut6Q the, colored people to line up solid behind the candidates of the republi- can party.
