Governor, Gen. VIM. II. Bulkely; lieuten-
ant governor, John d. Condee; secretary
of state, j., f. Stanton; treasurer. Julius

The following is the platform:
The Republican party of Connecticut re-
affirm its creed of all rights to all men;
the preservation inviolate of each and
every constitutional amendment; free
and fair ballot, and the enacement and en-
forcement of appropriate legislation to
preserve this right, upon which the integ-
rity of our institutions rest; tariff revised,
not only for revenue, bu+ for protection of
American labor against the Ia
Dor of all the world; alb
clifton Of useless Offices; equal taxation
and right economy in all departments of
the nation and state; protection of the
rights and liberty of every Ameri-
can citizen at home and abroad;
education under the fostering care
of the general and state governments
which shall bring its advantages to the
home of the hurnblest citizens; purely of
the ballot box and its protection against
Intimidation, bribery and corruption
appropriate legislation for the encourage
ment of commerce, the reduction of the
business of taxation, state and national
and the limitation OF expenditures to the
necessities Of the government; a iudicious
system of civil service reform by which COM
potent officers shall be secured for the pub
lie service, federal, state and municipal,
protected from assessment and removal
except for cause.
The Republican party ,as an earnest Of its
future, refers to the record
of its past service bothin war and in peace;
to the suppression of the rebellion, the
abolition of slavery, the enfranchisemento of
the race, the resumption of specie pay
ment, the preservatesa of the honor of the
| country, the payments of its debt, universal
prosperity at home and peace with all ma
tions. 1t reveres the memories it's mar
| tyred presidents, Lincoln and Garfield, and
| it cordially endorses and supports the ad-
ministration of President Arthur, who, by
his modesty, his capacity and his fidelity
| to the interests of the people, and by the
wisdom and courage of his public acts has
| commended himself to the confidence and
approval of his fellow citizens without
distinction Of party. It be-
! lieves that all just government derives
| its authority from the consent of the gov
erned. It has confidence in the integ-
| rity and good sense of the people, and is
~ - ~
which vitality affect their prosperity, and
will being, and therefore declares itself
| in favor Of submitting to the people, at a
special election to be held for the purpose,
| the amendment to the constitution pro-
| posed at the last session of the general as
sembly relative to the prohibition Of the
| uors, and of enforcing by ap-
| propriate legislation whatever their
| will may be upon that question.
For the purpose of promoting economy
| and watchfulness in the expenditures of
the state we believe they should be regu-
| lated by q system of annual appropria-
| tons We declare for the encouragement
| of state industries, the support of public
| schools, q limitation upon special and
| private legislation, and the passage of lib
| eral general laws under which all citizens
! of the state shall have full rights
and none shall enjoy exclusive priv
| leges. We declare that the grow
| ing influences of the great
corporations of the country ought to be
| jealousy watched, that the assumption of
| any undue power on their part should be
promptly checked, and that the principle
| that the people must control corporations,
| and not corporations the people, should be
| vigorously maintained. We thank Gov.
| Bigelow and his associate officials of the
| state for the efficient and satisfactory ad-
ministration of the government; we take
pleasure in commencing to the voters of
Connecticut the nominees of this conven :
ton, believing them to be fit representa-
| tives of the principles set forth in this plat
form.
