THE CONNECTICUT LIBERAL DE-
MOCRAGY

! The Democratic State convention OF
Connecticut met ut New Haven on the
23d Inst. Charles X. Ingersoll was nomi-
mated for governor; for lieutenant gov
ernor, George r. Sill. The platform,
which was unanimously adopted, pledges
the Democrats Of the State anew to the
principles Of Liberal Democracy, TO the
maintenance of the constitution and the
Union; calls TOR thorough reform of
the civil service as one of the pressing
needs Of the hour; declares that taxation
should provide for an economical admin
istration Of the government and for the |
steady reduction OF the national debt |
and that the tariff should be adjusted for |
the purposes Of revenue only that the
public lands must be reserved for actual |
settlers and subsidies of all kinds must |
cease; commends the Democrats In con.
gress for reducing the public cxpendi-
lures declares that the Democratic
party have never failed to recognize the |
essential principle that the only currency
known to the constitution Of the United
States Is gold and silver, and coin forms
tie only stable basis for the commercial
necessities Of the world; that the
resumption act OF the last congress was
q scheme of party expediency which has
had no harmonizing effects on the busi.
ness interests Of the country. and calls on
congress to adopt such measures as shall
lead to an carly resumption of specie
payments, while guarding its acts by |
that prudence which the interests of COM
mercial, manufacturing and industrial
pursuits impcratively demand.
