SSratford July 31.-The principal topic. Of conversation in the news cen tsrs last evening was in regard to the action Of the county liquor commits istoners granting license to Walter lStapIeton of Bridgeport to reopen the iStratford Inn as hotel The Inn was recently raided by the state police and s4he license of the proprietor, Dudley Stafford was revoked.
 { Rev. E. C. Carpenter and members sDf the Stratford Good Government fLeague appeared before the county icomrnissaoners and remOnstrated @gainst the granting of a license to re- toPen the place. Their remonetrance was in vain, for a license was granted to Sxapleton by the commissioners Tuesday afternoon.
 The general opinion in town seems to be that fish should not be made Of inne place and flesh of another. One man was heard to remark last night that he thought it was no more than f;jllst that the Stratford Inn should be 4alloxed to open up again as long as iGhe Travis hotel across the road from At, is allowed to stay open. There are many people who approve of the ac- .fion of the commissioners in granting the license to Stapleton-
 There is talk, however, of an appeal being taken by the 'sagitis'' of the town and the natives are waiting impatient 1y for further developments in the case. Rev. MT. Carpenter has just left for Maine for a months vacation, so it is not likely that any appeal will be ,. filed for a month at least. The Meth odist minister has been at the head of ; the movement to drive the saloons out of Stratford, but has decided to take a rest for a while. It is expected that he will take up his task with renewed energy on returning from his month s eojolfrn in hee1daine woods.
