LOCAL GOLD DEMOCRATS UTTER NO
UNCERTAIN WORDS.

Erring Brother Welcome If He Comes
Baek-DelegatesN Nominated.
The local branch of the national de-
mocracy met in Veru hall last even
ing and nominated twenty-five dele
gates to represent the town in the state
convention, which meets next Thurs
day in Hartford for the purpose of
nominating a state and electoral ticket
and transacting such other business as
will effect a permanent organization
of the party in the state. OF the sixty
delegates reported to Chairman w. S.
Pardee of the town committee by the
chairmen of the various ward commit
tees only twelve were absent. The
Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth
wards did not report any delegates
elected
The convention was called to order a
few minutes after o'clock by Chair
man Pardee, who said that he was
proud to be able to call together such a
body of men as he saw before him.
Men who stood for the new and yet
the old democracy. He then asked that
the convention name its chairman.
]. Z. Mills of the Fifteenth ward, one
of the old town committeeman, named
General e. e. Bradley, who was unan-
imously elected.
General Bradley said: Gentlemen,
thank you heartily for the honor con-
ferred upon me- 1t does my heart good
to see so many democrats, and when /
say democrats, l mean those who will
not be led away by the false measures
and leaders Men who have the good
of their town, state and nation at heart.
You represent the spirit Of love for
country first, and party next. Just
here may pause to add few words
of regret for the men who have left
us for new and untried principles.
1T does seem strange how these old
and, as we believed, tried men. who
worked with us In the past could see
their way clear to leave the old democ-
racy for Organism and populism. Let
us hope that they will return. Had
these men returned in time we could
have escaped the dilemma we are now
in, and steered clear of the doctrine of
protection of monopolies and trusts
on the one hand and free silver on the
other
THE time Is short that we have to
work in. But let us raise the principles
of democracy to a higher pinnacle than
they ever yet have attained. We will
leave the Amen corner open for our
erring brothers, but if we must defeat
them, and it Is a hard thing to wish
the utter rout of men you have worked
hand and hand with, then we must de-
feat them with such nlajorities as will
force themn to see their mistage and
return to the grand old party for the
preservation of whose doctrines you all
stand tonight.
Gentlemen, will you name a secre-
tary?"
John w. HUT, another Of the excom-
