speech and presentation Of can
dIdates. The assemblsge was too hot
and too excited for anything of the
kind. 1t was the most brief and
stormy Convention ever known in New
jersey.
TIE CONNECTICUT DEMOCRACY.

people, acknowledge equality in politi-
cal rights, with the largest political and
religious liberty compatible with good
order, and pledges its fidelity to the
Constitution and to the Union. 1t de.
clares--
l. Thatin tho election oflS8l the people
demanded a change Of Administration
and cleaner methods in the various de-
partments Of the Government and as
President Cleveland is bringing the
Executive Department back TO cOnsti-
tutional principles Of economy and
honest service, we will render to him
our united support in carrying out his
policy Of conducting pure Admins
tration in the offices OF public trust in
the economy which he requires and the
principles which he has enunciated as
the safeguards Of the public welfare.
2. We approve of the platform adopt
ed by the Democratic National Conven-
ton in 1884, including those sections
which require q just revision Of the
revenue laws, in the adjustment Of
which the industrial interests Of the
country shall be guarded and labor pro-
tected against the cheaper prices paid
for labor in Earope. We favor pro-
hibition Of the importation Of pauper
labor from foreign countries.
3. We endorse the resolution Of the
Connecticut Legislature requesting Con-
gTess TO make proper provision for de-
tending the coasts and harbor5 of the
United States against the formidable
ornaments Of foreign nations, and we
cordially approve Of the steps recently
taken to improve and strengthen our
navy.
4. In legislative enactments the De-
mocratic party pays due regard to the
fullest liberty Of the individual con-
sistent with law and order. We recog-
nize the fact that no Law to prevent
nbuse in the use of alcoholic liquors can
be enforced against public sentiment,
and we adhere to the public views
heretofore expressed by the Demo-
critic party--that a well.regulated
license-law, thoroughly executed, will
best promote the cause Of temperance
and good order in society-but license
law under the control Of an exclusive
partisan board Of county commission
ers, who act for their party rather than
the welfare Of society, will fail Of its
primary object.
The fifth resolution relates to State
matters.
TIE sixth article favors secret bal
lot and denounces all dishonest manip-
ulation Of the voters.
The seventh denounces all that tends
10 degrade the laborer.
The Convention then adjourned sine
die.
