 Upon assuming the permanent chair manship of the conference MT.

The committee on resolutions will now make it's report"
 The committee, through it's chairman, MT. Troup, reported the following res olutions which were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, We believe that eternal wig ilance is the price of liberty" and knowing that former trusted party off, cials continueito assume and exercise the authority conferred upon them while openly engaged in giving aid and comfort to the ene- mics of the democracy of Con- necticut in refusing to endorse either the platform adopted or the candidates nominated at Chicago. While recogniz- ing the right Of personal hostility to party platforms and candidates we regard the use of official position tc influence hostile action against the party platform and candidates regular ly adopted and nominated, as treach- erous and dishonorable Believing that the action of @ majority of those elected to discharge the duties of the demo- cratic state central committee endan- gers the success of the principles of the democratic party, and that party inter- est requires the aid of an active and loyal organization in the conduct of | the present campaign, and recognizine the duty which the democracy of this states owes to the people of our com mon country and to the democratic party of the nation; therefore | Resolved We endorse the national democratic platform adopted at Chica- go by the national democratic conven- tion and pledge our hearty support tc l the candidates nominated at that con. vention. We invite all honest and pat riotic citizens Whatever their former party affiliations, to unite with us in the support of a platform which boldly de contains no ambiguous and uncertain conditions inserted by designing politi- clans in the interests of syndicates monopolies or spectators. We also in. vite their assistance in electing the can. didates of the democracy, whom we be- lieve to be men who owe no allegiance except to the people of the United | States.
 | Resolved, That the attempt now be. | ing made to coerce workingmen to vote at the dictation of those who employ them by threats of loss of work, unless 1 I0x lr,,, -.I.
