publican state convention met this morn
ing with Marshall Jewell permanent

and then the usual committees were APP
pointed. The following ticket was nom
mated:
Governor, Gen. VIM. II. Bulkely; lieuten-

Converse; comptroller, Frank D: Short.
The following is the platforms
The Republican party of Connecticut re-
affirm its creed of all rights to all men;
the preservation inviolate of each and
every constitutional amendment; O free
and fair ballot, and the enactment 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, but 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 humblest 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 judicious
system Of civil service reform by which COM
petent 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 BOTH in war and in peace;
to the suppression of the rebellion, the
abolition Of slavery, the acknowledgements Of
the race, the resumption Of specie pay
ment, the preservatiM, of the honor OF the
country, the payne1R of its debt, universal
prosperity at home and peace with al ma
tons. It reyereS the memories Its 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 al just government derives
its authority from the consent OF the gov
erned. II has confidence liz the integ-
rity and good sense Of the people, and is
not afraid to submit to them questions
which vitality affect their prosperity, and
will being, and therefore declares itself
IN favor Of submitting 10 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
sale and manufacture of intoxicating liq-
uors, and OF enforcing by ap-
propriate legislation whatever their
viii 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 system of annual appropria
tons. We declare for the encouragement
of state industries, the support Of public
schools, limitation upon special and
private ieglslatlon, 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 10 be
jealousy watched; that Tie 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 commenting to the voters Of
Connecticut the nominees of this conven
ton, believing them to be TT representa-
tives of the principles set fortl, in this plat
form.
