The Democratic Nominees on RetrencIl.
ment and Reform.

ReSOlyed, BY us, the nominees of the Democratic
Conservative party of Hartford county, That we
thoroughly approve and give our best efforts to
carrying out the platform adopted by our party in
the last State convention assembled particularly
the second and third resolutions thereof which arc
in these words:
Second. 1t will be the duty of the next General
Assembly to Tighten the burden of taxation in this
State by abolshing all offices not necessary for the
public service; by reducing all salaries and fees
subject to its control to the limit of the compen-
sation OF persons engaged in similar employment
in private life; by compelling the practice of econ
omy every detail of State, county and municipal
expenditures, and by enforcing the observance of
the constitutional rule that every person in the
contribute his proportion of public taxes for the
support of thegovcrnmcnt according to his actual
worth in real or personal property.
Third. Public Offices were not created for the
benefit of individuals, for the purpose of re-
warding political services, but were intended sole
" for the public advantage. The perverson of
their use to any other purpose is injurious to good
morals and good government"
