The republican caucus of last even
 ing did not evince any excitement
 and only handful was in attend
 ance. The routine business was
 quickly transacted. The men chosen,
 however as delegates to the various conventions are all old line republ cans and the Roraback faction is
 thereby assured of Painville's sup
 port at the state convention to be held in New Haven in the Hyperion theater. Senator J. H, Trumbull and Edwin Hills both stated last evening that they are unreservedly for Rora- back. They take no stock in the Healy-Ullman opposition, which evil dently failed of much support in the various caucuses in other parts of the state last night. Mir. Trumbull Is known to be identified with the old guard in political matters, and that Mir. Hills throws his support to the same candidate Is no surprise. s. & 1 Gwillim and A. H. Condell are going to the congressional convention, and while uninstructed, it is known that they are ardent admirers and defend- CTS of E. Hart Tenn, the present in cumben
 The district convention, which is to be held here on Saturday for the pur- pose of choosing a state central com mitteeman. might prove of interest for it is reported that J. H. Trumbull will meet with some opposition in the person of Judge William J. Malone of Bristol, who is reported to have aligned himself with the opposition 1 faction to the Roraback machine. If he Is Healy man and Trumbull is a Roraback man, 1t remains only to be seen whether or not the nine towns comprising the district are in favor of machine politics. Last nights re- turns from the various towns indicat- ed that the men selected to come here are all dyed-in the wool repub- pat for the machine. thereby signify ing support of Trumbull The local politicians will naturally support Trumbull. but if Malone comes in to the meeting prepared to fight, it is probable that the session will prove interesting, as the ability of the Bris- tol politician is well known in the various towns comprising the district In face of last nights returns it is un- certain whether or not Malone will make a fight for a place on the state central committee
 At any rate, Avon took the initia : tive to instruct their delegates from the Fifth disSct for William J. Ma lone as against the present central committeeman, Senator Trumbull
 Senator Trumbull and Edwin H. Hills, chairman of the local republi can town committee, were nominated as delegates to attend the state con- vention: Charles R. Sherman and James Simpson delegates to the coun- ty convention, and Charles Har>,n and Frank T. Wheeler to the sena- torial convention.
 Mir. Hills was reelected chairman or the town committee for the sixth consecutive year.
 There were four women who showed up at the caucus presumably for the purpose of exercising their right Of franchise. but, as usual. they were late. The women came in iust al the time the caucus was adjourned ana the bushes declared over.
 Stanley S. Gwillim presided while Joseph N. Mckernan acted as clerk

 The members and officials of the Brock-l'arnes post are up in arms to- day against the action of a young gang or hoodlums who yesterday damaged their canvas and other ma teria1, on the Whiting street grounds. | which were used during the society circus last week
 The gang, evidently armed with knives, entered the grounds and be- hind cover of the large canvas which completely envelops the booths and tents inside, commenced cutting up the banners which were in front of the side show and other conces- sions.
 The paintings were done by local -egion men and took hours to con- plete. Most of them had pictures on hem of the various attractions in- s.de the side show and these were all ut and ripped beyond repair.

 An investigation will be made in an ,ffort to find out who committed the leeds. Prosecution will probably ollow as the things destroyed were worth several hundred dollars.
