 Hon. Fl. Lynde Harrison, chairman of the committee on resolutions, then re- ported the platform as follows:
 ResotUed, That we adhere to the doc trines and principles of the republican party as heretofore expressed in the na- tional platforms.
 ResOECed, That We have undiminished confidence in the integrity and patriotism of President Grant. Applause We heartily endorse his recent special mes sage to the senate on the Louisiana ques- tlon, and the principles therein contained, Applause. We unite with him in de- claring that ''any military interference by the officers or troops of the United States with the organization of state legislature or any its proceedings, or with any civil departments of the government is repug- nant to our ideas of government" and With him we "can conceive of no case not involving rebellion or irfsurrection where such interference of the authority of the general government ought to be permit ted or can be justified and at the same time We thank the president for saving that ''to the extent that Ongress has con ferred power upon him to prevent it, nei- ther kuklux klans, white leagues, nor any other associations using arms or violence to execute their. unlawful purposes can be permitted ln that way to govern any part of this country" Long continued ap- plause. We urge our senators and rep resentatives to adopt early measures for securing the peace and welfare of the peo- pie of Louisiana.
 ResolUed, That we utterly condemn now as we did during the war, those unwar- ranted denunciations of the general gov ernment, which while subserving on- ly selfish political purpose, tend to keep alive an lnsurrectionary and lawless spirit in certain states of this union. fAp- plause.l
 Resolved, That we are in favor of hard money and all necessary legislation to get 1t. Applause. In so far as the new finance bill means early redemption of our government notes, we approve it, and we believe that its execution in the hauds of republican administrations will achieve that end..
 ResotVed, That we denounce the demo- cratic party as party of imitation and re- pudlatlon, and We cite in proof of these charges their platforms in a majority of states, their refusal in the last Connecti- cut legislature to indorse hard money or take any action upon the subject, though they were especially requested SO to do by Governor Ingerson: with their utter fail ure to propose or support, as a party in congress. any measure looking toward re- turn to specie payments, and their united opposition Tn the senate and house to the recently passed senate currency and bank ing bill
 Resoluea, As to state affairs We chal- lenge comparison between republican and demo rattle administration. We ar- raign the democratic party of Connecticut as having proved false to thelr pledges of AOAoAAA " uoAhS3 1A4OlI pOW0r TOT pafC1SaQ purposes by interfering with the rights of municipalities, and who, in the hour of the nations peril, twas notoriously in sym pathy with those who were engaged Tn an attempt to destroy the federal union. [Continued applause.
 Resolved, That we present toRthe elect ors of this state the names of the Hon. James Lloyd Greene and his associates upon the state ticket as men qualified by their ability, integrity and character to perform worthily all the duties devolving upon the officers of this state.
