CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS.

A Splendid Platform Adopted and Ticket
Nominated.
New HAVEN, Conn. September 4.-The
Democratic State Convention was called
to order to-day by Chairman Dooley, OF
the State Central Committee.
Congressman r. j. Vance was called tt
the chair as temporary chairman and the
usual committees appointed. the tenn
porary organization was made permanent
In his address Chairman Vance said,
among other things:
"But 10 the present state Of national
finances what do our opponents PROPOSE
They are free with criticism. but where il
their policy? The duties were increased
from l9 per cent TO 49 to defray war ex
penses, with no reference to protection,
and when this was done the Republican
party promised to revise them. The time
has arrived, but where is the revision? II
has been promised in their platforms, theiI
Presidents have urged it, aud commits.
sion organized by Republicans, in which
large interests were represented and from
which the consumer only was barred,
recommended q reduction Of from 20 to
25 per cent. in the tariff, and now we are
told in their last platform that the tariff
taxes are to be retained, perhaps increased,
and that the taxpayers are to be given free
whisky to console themselves. The Demo.
cratic party has proved itself abundantly
able to govern; The people are satisfied, aud
it will brush aside the party which has
proved itself false prophet and has at
tempted toappesl to prejudicss rather than
to reason. Under Grover Cleveland has this
progress been made and under him will il
continue"
The platform adopted endorses the ad.
ministration of President Cleveland and
his tariff reform message; congratulates
the Democrats of the House upon the pass
age of the Mills bill; denounces the unnec'
essary tax upon raw materials as burden
upon both the manufacturer and the con.
sumner, and devotss an entire plank to the
wool tariff; endorses the President "foI
placing the commercial relations of the
people Of the United States and Cansds
upon an equality" declares in favor of the
secret ballot, and favors revision Of the
Constitution, that State officers may bt

Judge Luzon B Morris, of New Haven
was then nominated for Governor.

OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH.

General Butler Confronted With Some nj
His Old Time Tariff Aphorisms.
Bosom, September 4-While General
Butler was speaking to the multitude in
fremont Temple last evening and showing
them that Clevelsnd's message and the
Mills bill would ipjure American work
ingmen and American manufacturers,
there was another Butler meeting in Scol'
lay square, which was being conducted by
the Young Mems Democratic Club and the
stereoptican man to the intense edificatior
of large crowd.
The stereopticon man busted himself
with displaying quotations from Butler's
speeches in the State campaign Of 1882,
when the General occasionally dipped into
the tariff question. Some of these ex
tracts we're decidedly rich, as, for instance
"There should be no tax whatever on
the necessaries of hte."
1.-THE tariff question was used to frighten
the workingmen into voting the Rspubli-
can ticket. The same is true to-day"
''The tariff wants revision. Why didn't
the Republican party revise it when it had
the chsnce?"
Take the tax off the necessaries and
value of wages must increase.
"a tariff which produces trusts and
combinations robs the many to enrich the
few"
Revenue reform means collecting from
the people by taxation only the necessary
expenses of the government. Anything
beyond that is robbery"
THE Republicans try to make work
ingmen vote their ticket on the ground
that change in the tariff means lower
wages. The assumption is not true"
''I am q manufacturer myself and
know what the workingmen need-they
need less taxation"
"Butler to the workingmen in 1882
You have to pay 81 per pound for wooler
goods, which, were it not for the tariff you
could get for about one-half that sum-"

A Young PsrkersburG Lady Found Dead In
the River.
Special Tleoram 10 TIE Register.
PARKERsBURa, w. Va, September A.
The dead body of Miss Cecilia Simpson,
reported last night as missing, was found
down the river, near here, yesterday, by
two men. A fractured skull, and bruises
and cuts upon the head, justified the cor
ouer's Jury in giving verdict Of death by
foul means. There is no little reason
to believe that she committed
suicide by jumping oil the
boat, as che acted quite strangely while
here and spent some time riding back and
forth between here and Marietta. 1t Is
now thought by many that she committed
suicide during her last ride. Some valus-
bic iewelry with which she started from
home has not been found. Her brothers
found her body so disfgured that recogni-
tion was almost impossible. To-day the
remains were taken to Newburg, but there
IL still much mystery about the tragic
death. She was from all &C
counts lady of intelligence and
beauty and q successful teacher. Her &C
tious while here, coupled with the state
ment of q relation that her mind has not
been quite right for some time, leads
many to believe that while in temporary
fit of mental wandering she jumped OF
the boat. Every effort will be made to
unraVel the mystery.

Canada Has Been Shut Up.

LONDON, September 4.-The Standards
bellicose leader, beginning with the POM
pous announcement that "Canada,
should necessity unfortunately
arise, has behind her the guns
of English iron.clads," has produced in
London one prolonged guffaw. All the
notabilities in town regard it as absolute
nonsense. 1t is q matter of fact, that
Canada has been notified to shut mp and
give in. There are two theories afost in
newspaper circles. One is that the Stand
ards leader is q canonade with blank
cartridges to cover the retreat of Canada;
the other is that il Is scheme to bear
American railway securities. But the
idea that England will stir finger to back
the Dominion is utter folly.

NIB. ELKINS' SCHEME

To Colonize West yirgiuia-6o Ahead,
Stephen, Old Boy, the More the Merrier.
Special Tsisgram TO tis Register.
New YORK, September 4.-Yesterdsy
labor Day. being u legal holiday, there
was little news in political circles. The
hesduuarters of the Democratic National
Committee were closed in honor of the oc-
casion. The only thing talked Of at all was
the exposure of the plot to colonies West
Virginia by Stephen B. Elkins. When this
fact was called to the attention of the Re
publican managers the only response
was look of profound dis
gust. Steve Elkins, just now, does not
stand in very good odor with the men who
are conducting the canvass for Harrison
and Morton. The dislike to Mr.. Elkins
dates back to the last National campaign
in 1884 Mr.. Elkins put large amount
of the Republican campaign funds into
West Virginia with the insane idea that it
would carry that State. He did this
against the advice OF such men as Tom
Platt, Senator Hiscock, Chauncey NJ.
Dspew and Others. Mr.. Plstt now believes
and openly states that Mr.. Elkins' action
in that campaign was due iutirely
to his ambition not only to carry the State
for Blaine but also to elect Republican
Legislature, which would send him to the
United States Senate. This was Elkins'
ambition and he was willing to sacrifice
any one for it. This was the standing up
to month ago. Elkins' whole object in
irving to get Blaine nominated in Chicago
was for the purpose of capturing the
Republican National Committee and there
by securing the control of the Republican
campaign funds. Failing in this ne put
mp the job for grand Blaine reception
here for the purpose of forcing the Hsrri-
son men to make thick and thin bargain
with Blaine, by which Blaine would be
boss of the administration in the event
OF Hsrrison's election. He demanded to
be put upon the Republican National
Committee as au advisory member, in other
words, tantsmount to being boss Of the
concern. Quay wouldn't have it and
the bargain hasn't been carried through.
As the consequence, pending the demands
of Blaine, none of Mr.. Blsine's personal
friends, such as Carnegie, Jones, Phelps
and Elkins, have put up any money. From
all accounts, however, in order to appease
Elkins as far as possible, the Republican
National Committee agreed to allow him
to manage the West Virginia affairs
and supply him with the funds which he
thought necessary to control that State.
But Ekins put bis foot in it as he did in
1884. His game was known to the Demo-
cratic National Committee three weeks
ago, and his movements have been watch
ed With great deal Of care. From all
accounts tonight it is safe to say that his
little game has been publicly check
mated. Senator Matt Quay, Chair
man of the Republican National
Committee was staying today at
the Oriental Hotel, Coney Island. When
asked regarding the exposure Of Elkins'
methods in West Virginia, he refused to
make any definite answer. Senator Tom
Platt, when inquired of, refused also to
make any definite reply. He intimated,
however, that he wasn't surprised that
they had got on to Mr.. Elkins' manage
ment,
