 Father O'Connor, who was trans | ferred from Pomfret 10 Stratford few months ago Is winning the same favor in his new and larger parish that he
 did while in charge of the one he leit l and served so well. A spondent of the Bridgeport Farmer relates as an in- i stance whist entertainment given for l the building fund of his church, the St James, the proceeds Of which net- | ted fully sl75. says the Stratiord cor
 respondent. nAltogether it was the most popular gathering of the kind ever held in town. A large number of 1 people came over from Bridgeport even though the evening was cold and threat ening, and the summer trolley cars anything but comfortable. Townspeo- ple say two car loads were unable to get into the hall after arri ying. The next time Father O'Connor gives si- milar entertainment he will engage all three floors and thus have room for ev- cry one.n
 Judge A. McC. Mathewson of New Haven, in communication 10 the :.Eyening Leader" of that city, points out the injustice of the present system of Republican representation in nation al conventions. IL does not seem right, he says, ssthat a State like Texas, casting less than half the Republican vote of Connecticut, shoul have near ly three times the representation in the Republican convention which is to name the next Republican candidate for the Presidency. Mississippi, casting less than 3 ,2Do Republican votes in the last National election, has greater voice in the Chicago conven- ion than Connecticut, which cast Ill., 0o0 votes-or delegate for each l60 Re publican votes, while Connecticut has but one delegate for each 5000 votes. It is unnecessary to quote his other si- milar ineongTuilies of the present sss- tenn of allotling representatives, which is not only unrepublieaa, but might re- sult in the defeat of a candidate desired bv niue-tenths of the Republican voters by small minority. Judge Mathew son, deems this year favorable timc to adopt new system of apportioning representatives to national conventions that will allow the xoiefs Of the party to decide who shall oe their candidate for President, instead of risking any longer their defeat by representatives
