|THOMS MENTIONED
 FOR HONORS
Local Representative May Be Considered For Post
 of Minority Leader

Representative John D. Thoms of this city, who was reelected to the lower branch of the legislature in Tuesdays election, loomed today as the likely choice of the democrats for the post of minority leader of the house for the 1895 session. Representative John Markham of Hartford, who was minority lead CT in the 1893 session, did not run for reelection this year.
 Therefore, because of Represen- tative Markham's absence from the house lineup, Representative Thoms is expected to succeed to the po- sition of minority leader. When the 1885 session opens MT Thoms will the democratic side. It will be his third term.
 The republicans are expected to select Representative-ele Noatl Swayne of Darien for their major ity leader. He will succeed Judge Raymond A. Baldwin of Stamford who did not seek reelection this year. As the republicans are in the majority in the house they will have. the naming of the speaker and clerks. Representative William Mama of Bethel, who was speaker last session, is definitely assured of being elected to that office once more. The post is an important one as the speaker has the naming o1 the, various house committees under his control.
