RETIREMENT OF EDITOR TROUT.

The voluntary retirement of Alex ander Troup from the active and con fnlng control of the Evening Union of this city, as foreshadowed some time ago in the news columns of The Journal-Courier, is now confirmed. Except when he Is away from the city travelling, il is inconceivable that he should not keep an eye upon his newspaper and he welfare of the community in which 1t is printed for it's enlightenment, entertainment and diversion.
 The position occupied by Mir, Troup in the newspaper colony of New Ha- ven is distinct and definite. It is in addition honorable and dignifed. The Union Is a penny newspaper of reaj news character and Is the product of Me. Troup's own genius He concci,- ed 1t, brought 1t into the world and reared it. As in every newspaper of flee, others have In different ways contributed to its career and affected Its disposition, but without the com manding personality of its editor and rub sher 1t would have lacked the distinctive character t has to-day an eng the newspapers printed in 1 New Haven. The older newspapers of the city reach back to men of genius in the art of making newspapers. and to this day reflect their spirit and guiding minds. The Union, from the day 1t was first printed down through the days of varied vicissitudes until it reached that of business stability has always been under the influence of Mir. Troup's view of his profess slonal responsibilities. If ever a child could with certainty know its own father this newspaper child knows its father.
 We need not speak of the qualities which characterize the Evening Union. Like the other newspapers of the city 1t has them on display seven days in the week. Of the work of Mir. Troup 1t is in order to speak. IL is literally true that he has grown even ly and sympathetically wi,h his news paper, and has made for himself in this community a place of which he has every reason to be proud. He has not always had the community m sympathy with him in his study of the needs of the people and the best way to gratify them, but 1t has never been and who his political companions were. His methods may have been rugged and at times crude. but they were the methods of man who pos sessed convictions and was not afraid to stand in the market place and be counted The same qualities of head and heart were discernable in what ever public office he has held He will take with him into his voluntary and deserved retirement the best wishes of The Morning Journal-Courier, which wishes well at the same time for the sons who succeed him.

Some people have wondered why 1t Is that there will be l,o)2 delegates for the Denver convention and only 992 at the Chicago convention, since the repre- sentatIon ia both Is based upon the representation of the various states in congress, The explanation is found in the fact that the democrats allowed six delegates each to the District of Columbia, Hawaii and Porto Rico, to which the republicans allowed only two delegates each, while the republic ans allowed two delegates to the Phil lppines, which will not be represented a all in the democratic convention.
