Democratic State Convention, to adopt a
platform and elect delegates to the ma
morning. and diaosed Of its business in
a single session. Ebert B. Carey. OF
Ridgley, was chairman.
The delegates-at-large are Miles b.
Preston, OF Hartford; Lynde Harrison, OF
Gullford; Thomas NJ. Waller. Of New
London. and James Adds Of Torrington.
The delegates are understood TO favor
the nomination of Ex-Governor William
t. Russell. Of Massachusetts, for Presi-
dent. but are not pledged. \ plank would
have been placed in the platform en-
dorsing his nomination, but he recently
wrote Lynde Harrison that such was not
his desire.
The platform sets out the following as
among the essential doctrines in the creed
Of the party:
"The honest payment Of our debts and
the sacred preservation Of the public
faith.
Economy in the public expenses, that
labor may be lightly burdened.
Equal and exact justice TO all men,
OF whatever state or persuasion, religious
or political
Freedom of religion.
"As a necessary consequence the honest
payment Of public debts, and the preser-
walton Of the public faith and credit re-
quire that the gold standard Of money
as a measure Of value, shall be main-
tanned.
"\Vhile we favor the most liberal use of
silver consistent with the enforcement Of
a gold standard. We are unalterably Op-
posed to the free coinage of silver, DEEM
ing IT a device for a debasement of our
currency and the compulsory purchase OF
silver by the government. Under existing
circumstances, 20 pay public debts in sill
yer coin is population, 10 pay private
debts in the same coin is 10 rob the wage
Garner. and TO provide for the free COIN
age Of silver means the destruction OF le-
gitmate business and great suffering
among the laboring classes.
1--WE believe that the safety of our ma
tional finances requires a system OF sound
banking, by which bank-note currency
ample to supply the needs Of the whole
country shall be created, be safely Sc
cured. and be always and everywhere re-
deemable in gold.'
The platform declares for tariff for
revenue and against any further tariff re-
vision at present. The concluding para
graph says

Of President Cleveland and we especially
approve his firm support Of tho public
credit. and his exemplifcation Of the Mon

The Globe, on the other hand. while

The Pail Mall Gazette agrees with its
