Be it ResolUed, by the Democracy of Har-
ford county, in convention assembled, that
while it is a source of regret that few per-
como rapreSaptinu Themselves tn he DamOcrats-
have been misled by statements emanating
from an irresponsible source, and before the
accused had opportunity to deny the accuse
tious given publicly, to their dissatisfaction
with the nominations made for County Com
missioners, this convention, after carefully
reading and considering the accusations and
the proof furnished in denial thereof, affirms
its belief in the integrity of the accused, and
cordially Endorses the Democratic nominees
for Commissioners, Senator, Legislature,
Sheriff and Surveyor, as gentlemen well quail
fed for the several offices named, and entitled
to the united support of the Democratic
party. q.
That we are opposed to constructing new
roads and bridges in the county, while the
present business depression and low prices of
farm products prevail.
That we are opposed to any reduction of
the school tax, whereby the cause OF public
education may be impaired.
That we are in favor, at all times, of wise,
judicious and economical administration of
county affairs.
Be Il further Resolved, That the Republicans
having nominated q ticket, in opposition to
the Democratic nominees, the issue in this
campaign is so clearly between the two par
ties, that the only effect Of dissenson among
Democrats is to encourage Republicanism.
This convention earnestly asks all Demo-
Gratis in Hartford to lay aside personal differ
ences and join in swelling the majority that
x.f tnEn
in November.

Grated themselves and branded as false the
charges against them, believing these state
ments he would support them and urged
every Democrat to support them. Mr.. Rich

was loudly applauded.

system or the convention system of Lominat-
ing Democratic candidates should be submit
ted to the voters at the next Democratic pri-
mary election. but that no change should be
\ made in the present system without previous
| vote of the people so taken.
