WALSH PRESIDES OVER THE THE FIERCEST CONVENTION EVER KNOWN IN THE COUNTY. Hon. Patrick Coughlin, of Bridge- port, is the Democratic nominee for sheriff of Fairfield county. The nomination was accorded him at New- town, Wednesday, just in time for a lot of weary delegates to connect with the last train for home. Of all the hot conventions which have marked this year’s political canvass in this state there is small doubt that yesterday’s was the hottest. It is not a very extravagant figure of speech to say that at times it fairly sizzled. Mr. Coughlin’s nomination was due, making all allowances for his great personal. popularity, to sheer hard work planned by a corps of trusty aides, coupled with an eleventh hour dissat- isfaction at some of the tactics pursued by the other side. The ballot which made him the nominee by a vote of 46 to 39 for James Lee, of Brookfield, and one for E. N. Sloan of Norwalk, was taken just before 6 pm, after about five hours of almost continuous wrang- ling, mOtions, counter motions, appeals from the chair and mutual recrimina- tions. _ Until about two hours before the de- cisive ballot the chances looked very much in favor of the Brookfield candi- date. to appear on the ground in any force The Lee delegates were the first and almost anyone who spent Tuesday night at the Grand Central hotel would have picked Lee for a sure winner. Mr. Lee himself did not hesitate to express the utmost confidence in his ultimate success, professing to be sure of at least 47 out of a possible 87 votes. That was early in the day, before he had a chance to realize the effective efforts being put forth by the Coughlin forces, particularly the Bridgeport and As the day wore on, however, the broad smile of N orwalk delegations. confidence earlier in the proceedings shrunk perceptibly. Two of the questions which promised to be conspicuous sources of trouble were settled easily. These were the question of increased representation from the larger towns and the question as to the contesting delegations from Stamford. The result was a decision by the committee on credentials that only the Cummings delegation should be recognized from Stamford and that none of the delegations from the troublesome district should be given places on any Of the committees. This was the first active step taken in Cough- J lin’s behalf. The question as to the regularity of " the other increased delegations was more easily settled. Those who Oppos- ed these delegations were reminded that in consideration of the-fact that the Coughlin faction had conceded the convention to New'town, the represen- tatives of Mr. Lee on the county cpm- } mittee had agreed that the increased representation sanctioned by the state conventfin should be recognized. The firmness of John J. Walsh, of Norwalk, who called the convention to order at 12:30 O’clock settled this point in favUr of Mr. Coughlin. John F. Gilbert, of Ridgefield, was chosen astemporarychairman and F. C. Mullins, of'BridgepOrt, as temporary, . , l-i. . . " secretary. . ; 111.3ka Mr. Toner msmuited thatgthe ' delay was in the financial. Interest of." , From the start the Coughlinlsup- porters were. convinced that they need . 1901! for no concessions fron the tem- - .porary chairman. The real trouble began on the question Of the adoption of the reports of the committee on per- manent organization. The majority was in favor of J. J. Walsh for per- manent chairman and the minority stated M. J. Houlihan for that, position. Jeremiah Toomey, J r., Walter Staple- ton and C. F. Mullins did their best to bring about an orderly procedure, but with an evidently hostile chairman it was a hopeless case. After nearly a. half hour’s wrangle, the chairman came back from a balloon ascension long enough to entertain a motion by Mr. Stapleton that when the vote was taken it he by roll call. The motion was seconded by Mr. Toomey and was finally carried. F. C. Mullins, John J. Keogh, of East Norwalk, and W. H. Glover, of Newtown, were selected as tellers. The ballot for permanent chairman was really a preliminary of the strength of the rival candidates and furnished the first big surprise of the day for the Lee faction. The count disclosed that a total of 86 votes had been cast of which Haulihan had 43 and Walsh 40. Tellers Mullins and Keogh rejected three ballots on the ground that they were improperly written. Teller Glov- er, backed by Mr. Houlihan and others, entered a hot protest. Delegate Toomey moved for another ballot, but was unable to secure recognition, the chairman insisting on explaining the faulty ballots. Houlihan and his aides declared that the rejected ballots were intended for him and vociferously in- sisted that they should he so counted. John P. Walsh, of Danbury, moved for a viva voce vote, but was also unable to secpre recognition. It was finally decided to take another vote by roll call. The second ballot simply added fuel to the flame. After taking the ballot the tellers retired to a room back of the platform, but Mr. Houlihan insis- ed upon being present during the count notwithstanding fierce protest. The count showed that there had been two more ballots cast than there were del~ egates present. The announcement of this result brought every delegate to his feet and scription. John P. Walsh renewed his motion that a viva voce vote be taken, but again the chairman refused to rec- ognize him. Mr. Walsh was again ' the latter was no more successful than the Danbury delegate. ' The Houlihan. Lee faction were plainly opposed to a viva voce vote and it was equally plain gthat the chairman was in hearty ac- l cord with them. The chair still refus- Iing to put Mr. Walsh’s motion an ap- , peal was made to the convention. By this time most of the delegates ' were beginning to realize that unless . the business of the convention was concluded within a short time it meant an over night stay in Newtown. The prospect didn’t seem to be very allur. ,ing. l James Toner, of Not-walk, tOok the . floor and in a few well chosen wolgds. iprotested against the delay: and re~ quested a viva vocev vote. In his ,re- Mr. Houlihan’s hote'.‘ _. -- In reply to Mr. Toner, :Landlord an uproar ensued which beggars de~1 turdily seconded by Mr. Toomey, but o’clockThursday morning. This motion was overwhelmingly voted down and then delegate Mullins took the step ing the place of the chairman he pu . the appeal fromN the decision of the chair on Mr. ~Walsh’s motion for a viva . voce vote. The chair was overruled and the subsequent roll call resulted in- . 43 votes for J. J. Walsh for permanent chairman to 39 votes for Houlihan. The announcehient Of the result brought a salvo of applause from the Coughlin delegates that fairly made the building manent secretary and for the first time during the day matters began to move . smoothly. Chairman Walsh quickly despatched the“ business of accepting the various committee reports and called for nominations for she-riff. The name of Mr. Coughlin was pre- sented by Mr. Toomey in a brief speech. Mr. Lee was nominated by John S. Thornhill, of Brookfield. J. P. Walsh seconded Mr. Cough- lin’s nominatiOn and Henry Wildman, of New Fairfield, seconded that of Lee A cheer which woke the echoes greet- ed the announcement of the favorable result for Coughlin. On motion of Mr. ‘ Houlihan the nomination was made unanimous. Mr. Lee took the platform and said that he cheerfully acquiesced in the decision of the convention. - He would do all in his power for the suc- cess of the nominee [and hoped that every Democrat wodld take off his coat toward the same end. Mr. Cough- lin was conducted to the platform and brie fly expressed his thanks. The viva voce vote was a well con- sidered move and made certain of sev- eral votes being cast for Coughlin that otherwise were feared might be un- certain. ‘ Conspicuous among the Coughlin workers besides those men- tioned were W. H. Harty and William Keefe, of Bridgeport; M. H. Bracken and John Morgan, J r., of Fairfield; James Toner, of Norwalk and M. T. Gulf, of Danbury. 4 The following resolutions were adopt- ed: Resolved, That the Democrats of Fairfield county, in convention assem- bled, hereby ratify and affirm the plat- form adopted at the late state conven- tion, held at Bridgeport Conn, Sept. 21, 1898 and commend the same to the electors of this county. Resolved, That the Hon. Patrick Coughlin be most heartily recommend - ed to the people of this county as worthy of their'sufirages for sheriff of Fair-field county.
