the adjournment of t e convention dis-
cussed the uuegtlou of the also of the:
Senate. Those delegates were called

town representation in the House. and
o denote based on population. ’l‘hey
were representatives or" small towns.
with the exception of Mr. Dempsey. of
Danbury. Mr. Loomis. of Glastonbury,
called the meeting to order and Hallo~
well. of West Hartford. was named as
chairman. Mr. Loomls explained that
the meeting was to arrive at some un-
derstanding as to the sins of the San-
ate. He fgclt this to be very ...mortant
A few days ago he introduced . .... :on
that the senate be not less than sixty,
nor more than seventy-two, and he was
surprised to and that it received fifty.
one favorable votes. Mr. Loomis‘tlieu
explained the various motions before
the committee of the whole. Under the
ruling of the chair the amendment
having the highest figures in it, is to be
out first giving precedence to the
amendment of Mr. Waller fgor a Sen-
utc of not less than seventy nor more
than eighty-four. He then said that
personally he preferred not less than
sixtymne, nor more than soveuty~slx.
but he thought it wall to have u defi-
nite conclusion arrived at in caucus.
"1 selected sixty-one, said Mr. boom-
is. "because if there is any music in
numbers tit is a remembrance of the
stirring times of “01. and 76 will recall
likewise the days of '76." ,
Mr. Collins. of, Columbia, said his
choice would be as smflll a Senate on
would be. accepted by the people. A
very large Senate seemed to him like
making a body that would have very
little to do. He would vote for the
smallest number that could be. agreed
upon. cvcn if'it were a hundred. He
believed “ some agreement must be
reached and would leave it to the peo-
pie to do what is right. He hoped an
agreement could be reached about for
ty-llvc, and that it would not be neces-
sary to go above sixty.
Mr. l’olton. of Clifton. expressed the
hope. that one from a town could be
passed by the convention for the
House of lieprosntativcs. and that
therc would be a Senate of titty. it
there. were to be two from a town. he
thought. 36 would be, ample.
Mr. Wilson. of Water-town. was in
favor of a Senate of sixty.
Mr. Fish. of Bradford. believed the.
Senate us the popular body of the
General Assembly should be as large
as the House. because the Senate, n
the House were composed of one from
a town. would be the popular body.
Mr. Hayes. of Bethlehem. did not be.
licvc Mr. Fisk's plan of 168 in the
Senate would be advisable, He thought
hotvovor. that if the Senate wore com-
posed of scvcnty-tw‘odhe plan would
be ratified by me people. .
Mr. Hale. of Portland. said he did
not believe the delegates from too
large cities in the. muvcntlon fairly
represented the sentiment of their
people. rte was informed of u senate
of from 72 to iii and believed that
the people. would be satisfied if toe
matter was properly explained to
them. Formerly he was in favor of no
in the Senate but he was willing to
compromise by enlarging the Senate.
"If i were the last man I would not
vote for anything except town repre-
seutulon in the House.“ said Mr. Halo.
"if we give in one. inch to the minor-
ity‘s arrogance we must give in more."
Mr. Groesbccx. of Chaplau. said no
had found by conversation witn the
people of his county that the Bennett
bill was a failure. He expressed his
disappointment that the convention
had voted for a. committee of confer-
ence-a measure which .was voted
down at the very start of the conven-
tion proceedings. Mr. Croesbock no—
clnred that even the people of Hart-
ford did not approve the Bennett plan
