 Republican State Convention. The republican state convention fin-
 ished it's work yesterday morning, and the delegates went back to their con- stituents, armed for the campaign. l There was not a serious hitch in the
 proceedings from it's assembling to ad- | journment.
 The convention declared for a single standard gold currency and it opposed the free coinage of silver at any ratio. Candidates were put aside for the more | momentous question of principles. The delegates elected will go to tho
 national convention uninstructed, free | to vote for the man who stands for re- | publican principles.
 l Prominent members of the party from all over the state expressed themselves as satisfied with the position taken by
 the delegates.
 YESTERDAYS SESSION. | The convention reassembled yester- | day morning at 10 o'clock in the Hy- perion Chairman Warner called the delegates to order.
 The chairman of the committee on | credentials came forward to make his report, but it was dispensed with by unanimous vote. There were no con- fc in, ,f o,,r | the report was adopted without read- | ing.
 1 The same disposition was next made | Of the report on vice presidents. The committee on permanent organization | reported w. E. Simonds of Canton, ex- 1 commissioner of patents and ex-con- l gressman, as permanent chairman of | the convention.
 | MT. Simonds was received with great
 applause as he stepped forward and MT. | Warner retired.
 | Mr. Simonds addressed the conven- | tion, in part, as follows: l Gentlemen of the Conventional thank you most sincerely for the trust | and confidence you repose in me. It is | only few minutes since I was ap- | prised of my selection, by reason of l which you will be fortunate enough to | escape more than a single remark from | me. In all the years I have been an 1 observer of public affairs, unless 1t were during the dark days of the war,
 when the fate of the Union was tremb- | ling in the balance, no political conven- tion has assembled in this state so | freighted with the hopes of the men | I ,,f H. | For three years or more our people
 have been suffering from the misrule of | the democratic party. The people in l their homes are looking to this convefi-s
 ton to see what we are doing for their
 relief In the words of the distinguish
 ed congressman from the Third district 1 last. they are asking, How long, oh | Lord, how long? But their sufferings
 will not be of much longer duration. l The sun of the first Tuesday after the l first Monday of next November will
 surely rise on mighty republican vic-
 tory.
 T have another duty to perform, and 1 that is to read to you the platform
 adopted by the committee on resolu- | tions."
 THE PLATFORM.
 The republicans of Connecticut reaf- | firm their belief in the doctrine of pro-
 lection, with reciprocity as advocated 1 by James G. Blaine, believing that up- on it's maintenance depends the devel-'
 opment of American industry, the ele-
 vation of American labor and the pro-
 lection of the products of the American l farm.
 | 1.a1s s.-4- s,,s,, a,< <xq America, in protecting every citizen of l the United States in his legal rights at
 home and abroad, and in preserving the homes of Americans. We are un-
 alterably opposed to the issue of unse-
 cured paper currency, either by the government or the banks; the free
 coinage of silver at any ratio, and fa- | vor a single standard of value, and
 that standard gold. We believe that l this policy, with a sound and stable
 currency upon gold basis, will fur nish sufficient revenue to meet all re-
 quirements of the government and to
 properly support it. | We believe in such discriminating | duties in favor of American bottoms as will again revive our shipping inter-
 ests, and extend our trade and conn
 merce to every land. We believe in the
 Monroe doctrine, and in supplying the | government with ships and fortifica- | tions, and men to man them, sufficient at all times to uphold and maintain it. | We are opposed to the immigration of paupers, insane and criminal We are firm in our convictions that l the maintenance of those principles, 1 and the enactment of laws to carry | them into effect, under republican ad-
 ministration, charged with the duty of enforcing such laws, will, in the near | future, guarantee to our country the l financial and industrial currency of tho l world.
 | So long as deserving Union soldier.
 or sailor, his widow, or orphan, remains | in the land, a due sense of gratitude demands that the nation extend to all
 such it's special care and protection. i We pledge the nominees of the na- tional republican convention, from
 whatsoever states they may come. our
 unsverving loyalty and the electoral vote of the state of Connecticut.
 On motion of John Addison Porter the resolutions were adopted.
 The next work of the convention was to receive the reports regarding the se- l lection of members for the state cen- | tral committee. There was a fight over ! the member from the Tenth district.
