THE CONNECTICUT DEMOCRAT TIC
PLATFORM CRITICISED BYA DEN.


AT public meeting of the democracy in
Hartford on the 2Sth, which was addressed by
MIR. Hubbard, the democratic candidate for
Governor, he was followed by the Hon. VIM.
Eaton, who spoke of the platform, the DEM
ocratic party and candidates in the following
plain terms. His speech was received with
much more enthusiasm than than that of Mr..
Hubbard. 1t shows where the party stands.
He said
Wouldn't have drawn up the platform of
the Democratic party, made in New Haven,
in the words that were used, because Con-
necticut can draw better platform than Mis-
souri, Applause. Because would use my
own brains lapplause], and not the brains of
other people. Not because the platform is
right or wrong, but because it does mt go far
enough. Great applause.] But it is asked,
are you in favor of plantation negroes voting ?
l was not, nor am now. More applause.
am opposed to letting negroes vote under a
law of Congress. l would have South Caro-
lima make her own laws. That's my doctrine.
Laughter and applause. Mr.. Hubbard has
read what regard as State Rights speech
tonight. Great applause. That's his doc
trine. Applause. That's my doctrine. Zap
plause. believe that the States are supe-
rior to the Federal Government. So does he.
l hope the reporters will write it down.
don't believe with the lamented Lincoln that
the Government made the States. Laughter
and applause. l think that Ulysses S. Grant
is not my master, but my servant, and poor
one at that. pay him part of the $25, 900
year he receives, and he has laid up, have
been told, million of dollars last year
Laughter and applause.] But l digress.
would not have written the New Haven reso-
lutions as they were written, because they
don't go far enough. [Applause.] But l can
take that platform and make it suit Democrats
and Republicans. Here's my platform: The
Democratic party of the State of Connecticut
is now, as always in the past, the party Of the
Constitution, and we accept to-day the Con-
stitution of the United States as the organic
law of the land; and We will support any
man, no matter what his past record may
have been, that will stand on that platform to
destroy the Radicalism of to-day. That's my
resolution-l applause that's my platform.
l"Bully!" and great applause. If it differs
from the New Haven platform. it's stronger
and larger. Applause Gentlemen can
take it and make the most of it, That's the
platform of the Democratic party of Connec-
ticut. [Applause. That's the platform we
stand on, even with its Missouri tnkering.
Treat applause. qaurrel with the New
Haven platform because it didn't say that
that if Lyman Trumbull or David Davis will
stand on the Constitution of the United States
we will give them our votes. What I'm look
ing after is a man who will take this rotten
Radical party and choke it, I'm not very
particular what that mans name is, | would
rather it would be Winfield S. Hancock than
any other man know. But it is possible that
some Republicans who are a little weak in the
knees would rather vote for Trumbull than
Hancock.

TEMPERANCE REFORM.

The temperan ce reform in this vicinity
has attracted wide notice and commcnda-
ton. There is probability that it may
spread and become general throughout
the country. Public sentiment is favora-
BILE; all that is lacking is bold and earnest
spirits to initiate and carry on in every
city and hamlet the crusade against intem-
perance.
Ahe movement as begun is similar to
That Of the ashingtonians. The moving.
acting, prominent spirits are men accus-
TONED to dram-drinking-many of them
20 the greatest excess. With them the re-
form is purely voluntary. They seem to
have entered into an examination of their
condition, taken sensible view of it's
miseries and degradation, and determined
with honest resolution to reform. The
work thus commenced with few has rap.
idly spread. The example of men addict.

LETTER FROM Monsoon.
MoNsoS, March SOth, Is

MoNsoN, March oOth, 1877.
To the Editor Of the Journal:
A note from this decidedly rural region may
not be unacceptable to your readers. Mon
son is, perhaps, better known to summer tour.
lists than to almost any other class of non
residents. To multitudes of such it is a
familiar thoroughfare leading to Moosehead
Lake, from which it is only fourte en- miles dis
tant. 1t must be very beautiful in summer
situated as it is in the near vicinity of several
ponds or small lakes, which add charms to the
landscape, and offer tempting recreation to
the knights Of the hook and line. The fishing
grounds hereabouts are said to be unrivalled.
There are but two churches in the town,
Baptist and Congregationalist, both of which
have stated preaching and neat approximate
houses of worship. Perhaps there is hardly
town in the State where the truths of reyela-
ton are less called in question, or the people
more moral and industrious. The rowdy
element, which in many places is so predomi.
nant, here finds little countenance.
In the matter of education the town has an
honorable record. Throughout all this part
OF the State Monson Academy has been ia
vorably known for a long series of years.
One Of its principals, to whom it is much
indebted, is VIM. S. Knowlton, graduate of
Colby University, late County Supervisor of
schools and pastor elect of the Baptist church
here. His ordination to this Office is an event
in the near future.
Turning to the business prospects of Mon
son, the attention is drawn at once and chief.

VICTORY IN CONNECTICUT.

Connecticut comes out of the election
with victory inscribed on the republican
banner. This is the second gun in the
Presidential campaign. Its effect strength
ems the republicans in their contest against
foes without and within, and increases the
prestige and popularity of President Grant.
To those who have planned the Cincinnati
ii convention it is severe blow. 1t sig
mites to them that they make no impress
sion upon the solid republican lines, which
are as firm now as ever and as invincible.
Mr.. Greedy is not the republican party,
nor can he dictate its candidates or con.
troll its destinies, though he yields the
power of the Tribune. Republicans think
and act for themselves.

les. Three have already

ly to its slate quarries. Three have already
been opened. The vein, first discovered
scarcely two years ago, is about $50 feet in
width, mile in length, and of unknown
depth. The quality of its products has been
so far tested, that there is no longer any
doubt as to the great value of the deposit. 1t
is very interesting to visit the quarries and
watch the various processes by which the
black masses of slate are detached from the
bed where they have slumbered for ages upon
ages, and are made ready for the use of the
builders. The splitting and shaping so deity
done by the trained hand of the artisans
hired for the purpose, is something wonder
full. These laborers are chiefly native WEIGH
men, and are tempted from their own country
by the greater pay offered them in America.
1t is thought that in no long time hundreds
of men will find employment in these quarries,
in which event Monson will receive an i'm
pulse that will set it handsomely forward il
the matter of business. The rapid and vigor-
Gus development of SO important an industry
here, would also accelerate the extension Of
the Bangor & Piscataquis Railroad to this
point, it having already pushed hitherward as
far as Guiford, which is distant only ten
miles. WAYFARER.
