( New Haven Palladium.)

The explanation of the imposition of
the Danbury delegates in the Fourth dis-
trict congressional convention, at bridge-
port, yesterday. seems rather obsrmre to
those on the outside, and the snowman:
ment of Attorney John T. Cuff, of Dan-

majority for Congressmm flrl’tmrrl fell,
like a bomb.

Robert E. UsFofost was rcnominaterl
for Congress, but opposition develogmd

defeat him in a district strongly Dvrrmc
cratic.

Rumors of a slump of the Democrats
in Danbnry if certain things were not.
done, have been rife for some time MM
the expected has happened.

Danbury, the stronghold of that IM-
mocracy. is torn asunder and as it feasts
2 000 out of the 2,50011euiocratic vote»
in the district, the disaffection is enough
to defeat DcForeot if the threat mode at
the convention is carried out. Not only
is the congressman but also the election
of Senator Honiihan, of Newtovvn. in
the balance. The senatorial convention
of the Fifteenth district met in Danbury
Wednesday, and Senator Ilonlilian was
renominated.

The contest was for the naming of the
state central committecman for the dis.

The grievance was carried into the
congressional convention yesterday and
DeForest, who is in (am! of Mol’hnlcnly

first named city it has been running for
nearly two years. In New York it has
passul its one hundred and fiftieth per-
formance. while in Chicago and Baston
it mode the hits of the season. Its main
success depends upon the eccentricity of
its centralfigure, a young fellow, who
for a joke, disguises himself as an ocean,

in the widow's weeds, he finds himself
unable to get ri.l of them for nearly
three hours. The complications brought
