 The republican party of Connecticut re- news it's declaration of implicit allegiance ! to the constitution of the United States and the state of Connecticut, and its de- votion to the inspirations in which the 1 party was born and by which it carried the nation intriumph, through the perils of civil war.
 It declares that the lesson taught by | the late rebellion must be honored in the policy and conduct of our government, and indignantly protests agalnst the un- blushlDg avowal by the democratic leaders of theories of state sovereignty, which were the legitimate parents of the infam- ous attempts at secession, and the imme- l diate cause of the terrible war through which the republic has passed, and against the outrages of fraud, intimida- tion and violence by democratic politicians 1 in the reconstructed states, upon the free | sfurage and citizenship of the people of these states. <7TE
 It declares for reformation in the civil service and in the administration of all public offices as set forth in the letter of acceptance of Rutherford B. Hayes, for economy and retrenchment in public ex penses, for the speedy resumption o specie payment and the prompt fulfill ment of the obligations of the govern ment written upon it's paper currency, and protests against the repeal by the demo- cratic house of representatives of the clause of the law of 1875 for the resump tion of specie payments in 1879, to which the national faith is pledged, and by whose repeal the national faith is dlshon- ored. It declares for generosity and good will to the people of the south. for harmony and peace throughout the land, but pro- tests against rewarding with honor and .emoluments the services of rebellion and treason, and insists upon the protection of every citizen in the exercise of hIs civil rights as guaranteed in the amendments to our constitution.
 It declares it's unqualified love of law and liberty, it's welcome to improvement 6 G--. objects the comfort and elevation of the people and the preservation unstained of the national honor.
 In matters of state policy it declares foI economy md simplicity, for the encour- agement of industry. for universal sys- tenn of unsectarian education secured by legislation, for short legislative sessions, for general laws and against special legis- lation, for the limitation of municipal ina debtedness and public approp, iations to the legitimate objects of suppo Tt bytaxa- tion, against bribery and corruption at elections, against bargains and trades in appointments, and for reduced expenses and lower rates of taxation.
 It charges the democratic party with subserviency to the men who have but just laid down their rebellious arms: with evasion, dishonesty, and dupliclty in it's treatment of the financial question: with studied insult to the Union soldiers; with an utter disregard of the honor and fair name of the republic, and with the pur- chase of power in this state by bribery and corruption at elections.
 It charges that the democratic party is true to its record in proposing for chief magistrate of a restored Union a man who withheld from the friends of that Union his sympathy and support when the na- tion's existence was in peril, and. as | model refprmer, man wLo reached hls first political prominence by associating with the most corrupt and interruptions politicians who eyer disgraced our land.
 It accepts and most cordially indorses the platform and principles of the party as established by the Cincinnati national convention and i'll the nomination of Rnsherford B. Hayes and William A. Wheeler for president and vice president, It finds assurance of the elevation to these high places of men whose lives and rec ords and letters of acceptance furnish guarantee that the principles of the party will be enforced in the administration of our government
 | It declares that President Grant is en- titled to our thanks for his patriotic ser- vices to the country, and his name will deservedly be enrolled among the honored sons of the republic; and it is | ResotUed, That the candidates nomina- ted by this convention deserve the unani- nous and entnuslastic support of the citi- zens of Connecticut.
