 H. G. Lewis of New Haven, Arthur w. Bacon of Middletown and Colonel Dwight Morris of Bridgeport escorted Mir. Eaton to the chair, which he assumed amid prolonged outburst of applause. Mir. Eaton in his ad- dress, after few platitudes, struck home on the "fraud issue" 'sFellow citizens,' he said, i've met four years ago in this good old commonwealth of ours. We nominated an electoral ticket to support that grand old New York reformer, Samuel J. Tilden. (Cry of 'Good" and applause ) The freemen of Connecticut cast their votes for Samuel J. Tilden. Samuel J. Tilden was the constitutional and legally elected Presi- dent of the United States (applause), and elected by the vote of this old commonwealth (applause.) The people of this country were defrauded-not he not the standard bearer, but the millions of freemen who elected him. by the greatest political crime of modern times. CA voice-'It wasn't your fault, land applause repeated.)
 MT. Byxbee stepped forward and called for three cheers for Senator Eaton. These were given with will. The Senator re- sumed:
 Fellow citizens, thank you for this ova- tion. It was not my fault. I have right, I think, before the assembled Democracy with out egotism to assert, it was not my fault. (Applause.) I was there as the accredited representative of the Legislature, as the guardian of the honor of the State and the Constitution Being so accredited did what in my judgment and before God was right. GA voice: "Good boy!'O I saw but one single course and pursued that unfalteringly. I find no fault with my respectable associates who looked at it differently then. I may be pardoned for saying there is not one but who looks at it now as I did (Applause.)
 We have met here to-day for two purposes, first to place in nomination State ticket that will certainly be elected on the second of No vember (applause), notwithstanding the two ''busy B's' which the Republicans have found Gaughter.) We have met also to place in nomination electoral ticket which will vote for the soldier-statesman in the electoral college, and fellow citizens when Connecticut speaks on the second of Novem- Der for Winfield Scott Hancock and William H. English, she will set her broad seal of condemnation upon the crime of '76. We owe it to ourselves. Connecticut owes it to her own honor that she elect the ticket nom- mated to-day. As live believe we will roll up majority of 5000 in November next (Applause)
 MT. Eaton now applied himself to setting up the Democratic party and attacking the Republican. Elect Hancock, he argued. and expenses would be cut down $50, ,Ooo. (Applause.) In 1857, 1858 and 1859 the annual expenses of running the government were not over $75, ,OOo, 900 annually. Now with larger extent of coun- try to govern the expense would be larger, judgment enough. Then there was drain on the country which Democrats would rec tify if they had a chance. One hundred millions in gold were taken out of the pock- cts of the people annually and paid to the owners of steamers and other ships foreign CTS. In 1857-8-9 we had commercial ma rine nearly as large as that of Great Britain Now it is miracle to see the American flag on foreign sea- The speaker said he had the honor to introduce bill which, if it had passed, would have resulted in $15, ,OOO, GOO in American ships on the seas. John Sherman wasn't entitled to the honor of saving mil lions of dollars by changing the interest on the bonds. He couldn't have done it without Democratic help in Congress. Another thing They say the panic is over and all is prosper ity. "Who did it? (Laughter.) Says John Sherman, T did it. Why, fellow-citizens, that Power that governs us all did it. (Ap- plause) Within the last four years we have been blessed by ample crops All over our broad land the cotton and the corn, butter, cheese and the petroleum have hourished We exported within four years more than $500, ,OOO, 900 more than we imported While our land teemed with it's growth, our Con- mon Father sent on the lands of other na- tions drouth So it has been that during four years the United States have emptied into the lap of Europe their crops, and thus we have been able to redeem the country. When you can show me that John Sherman has anything to do with the crops Qaughter) and show me that I, as your representative, have, then John Sherman and will claim the
