The democratic hard money leaders
abandoned the field in Connecticut. They
did not wait to throw out skirmishers or
to send out flag of truce. They retired
with indecent haste without firing gun
or having any sort of dress parade. Ear
" in the day, ere the dew was off the
morning cocktails, Senator Eaton folded
his tent aud stole away, with Burr stick
ing close to his heels. Governor Inger-
soil joined in the retrograde movement.
and from force OF early habit, Mr.. Barnum
was also absent when the roll was called.
Without striking a blow or marshaling
their hosts, the Greenback men were mas
ters of the field. So complete aud unex-
pected was their victory that they lost
their heads and neglected to raise their
colors The Committee on Resolutions
included thirteen of their own men, with
only eight hard money men against them
and these were moderate-alack ex-
tremelv moderate; and yet the platform
which was set up was neither soft nor
hard, nor anything except pulpy. In fact,
it can be summed up briefly: Resolved.
That we don't believe--or say that we be.
lieve anything in particular, but we want
everybody's vote" The supremacy of the
Greenbaek faction was an acknowledged
fact, and it was unnecessary to lay stress
upon it in the platform. especially as the
hard money men had been so accommo.
dating as to get out of the way betmes.-
