THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The remarkable victory of Michael

chairman of the State Central Commit.

considerable interest In felt in its ul-
timate result. That It is a severe blow
to the Page, Flyer. McLean wing of the
pariy is undoubted, and that it will be
of great benefit -to lion. Samuel li‘es-
senden in his aspirations to become a
senator in the place of “Joe“ Hawley
is unquestioned. He now practically
controls the party machinery of the
state. His strength has grown re
markably since the memorable "Warn-
er-Mcbean fight," when Mr. McLean
was elected governor.
He In still a long way from being
senator, however. and his friends will
have to roll up their sleeves and con-
tinue the fight which has been so aus-
piciously begun. Morgan 0. Bullilev

the rest of the Page-Fyier-McMan
wing. it promises to be a spiritedl
contest and one which will give Mr.
Fessenden a chance to display his gon- I
eralship against foes worthy of him.

committee, has been all that his party'
could wish as a manager and astute
politician the fortunes of war went
against him and even the flop of the
Ullman delegates from New Haven.
who were formerly strong FessendenI
men, was not sufficient to secure a vic- '
tory for him. The vote was as close
as it possibly could be, eighteen to new .
cnteon.
Mr. Gates will he succeeded by a
very popular member of his party and
one who will doubtless prove as suc‘
cessful. in the change the party will
probably be equally well off but the
chances of Mr. Fessendon are much
improved by it. .
