HARTFORD, Conn.,. February l6.-The
democratic state convention. met to-
day. David A. Wells was elected pres
ident. In his address Mr.. Wells said
that the republican party had failed to
properly administer the government
aud restore peace and harmony since
the war, he therefore urged u return to
democratic principles, which he stated
was opposition to federal interference
in the affairs of the states, that g0veri-
ment being the best which governs
least, the equality Cfall men before the
law, a better currency based on hard
money, and taxation for revenue only.
He thought it important that these
principles should be carried out further
than in expressions aud platforms. He
denounced federal interference in Lou
isiana as dictated by vagabond polit-
zeal adventurer. Haf
The convention unanimously NOM
mated The old ticket. tale
! The following are the resolutions
adopted by the convention:
! Fiist--ihat free government derives
| its Just powers from the consent Of tile
governed; that the federal government
! is vested with those powers only which
are granted to it by the people, and
enumerated in the constitution of the
| United States.
Second--That the public welfare re-
quires the supremacy of the civil over
the military authorities, the freedom
of person under the protection of ha-
beas corpus, consistent with public Or
der, state self-government, and for the
national return to the methods of peace
and the constitutional limitations Of
power. '-siA tlf
Third--That we view with appre-
hension and alarm, aud solemnly con-
denim as subversive of free govern
ment, the recent action of federal ex-
ecutive interference in the states of
Louisiana aud Arkansas and the
avowed determination to disregard
the will of the people of those states,
in reference to the organizations of
their governments of their local af.
fairs; that the use of bad money inn
poses all unequal and dishonest tax,
which bears most heavily Oh those
who work for wages; that irredeema-
Lle paper currency by whatever name
known, is bad money, and that 1t is a
fraud in time of peace for the govern
ment to make anything legal tender
except gold and silver coin of fixed
standard.
Finh-That the republican party has
proved itself unfit TO rule because with
unlimited opportunity it has failed to
make the bad money, which it has
forced upon the people, equal to good
money with which 1t pays its bond
holders. ~ srls t5ii egg ~ fenLral
Sixth--That 1t is DO time when in |
dustries are depressed and honest la
Dor, when deprived Of the opportunity
for regular reinuherative employment.i
to increase the burdens Of federal tax
alton and that the. present acknowl-
edged bankruptcy of the national
tr ,asury, is conclusive proof Of the in
competency of the republican party 20
properly administer the fiscal affairs of
the country. ~ so,.Yf. 4..., lse Z. ~. 4
The remainder of the resolutions
point to the economical administration
Of the state government during past
years by the democrats, point with
pride to the TICKET presented for re-
election andapprove Of certain action
