Socialist Labor Party Delegates Met In
 New Haven Yesterday.


 New Haven Yesterday.
 The socialist labor party's state con- vention held at Aurora hall on Union street yesterday afternoon placed in nomination the following state ticket: For governor, Charles Stodel of Hart ford; for lieutenant governor, Charles Patrick of New Britain; for secretary of state, F. Lewis of New Haven; for treasurer, Charles Kinsella of Dan- bury; for comptroller, Charles Sleiger- wald of Bridgeport. This list of nom- nations will be presented at meeting of each local section of the party in this state for adoption or rejection by popular vote. The same course will be pursued with reference to other action taken by the convention. These nomi- nations were made after the conven- tion was called to order for the after noon session at o'clock, and after the nominating committee had reported. It was decided to hold the next state con- vention in Bridgeport on Decoration day, 1899.
 The following resolutions were adopt ed:
 Resolved, That we, the delegates of the socialist-labor party of Connecticut denounce the legalized murder perpe- trated on the famished protelariat of Italy by the military henchmen of its capitalist class and that we tender our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved families of those murdered for demand ing bread and that we hope that this sacrifice will bind together the prole- tariat of Italy on their own class inter- est and thus enable them by adopting the principles and tactics of internal socialism to abolish forever the cause of their suffering and degredation, VIZ, the private ownership of the means of wealth production.
 Whereas, a state of war now exists between this country and Spain, in which large number of wage-Workers will be killed and maimed.
 Resolved. That we call the attention of the American wageworkers to the fact that no matter which wins, neith- CT the wageworker of Cuba nor of America will be improved by reason of the fact that they will still be depen- dent on the capitalist class for the chance to earn living and that by and through it's ownership of the means whereby wealth is produced the wage- worker are compelled to sell their labor power like so much merchandise, which labor power is ever cheapened and underbid by improved machinery and by the methods of production and distribution. Hence there exists but one war which effects the wage-worker and that is the worldwide class war between the proletariat and the capi- talist class. As proof thereof we call your attention to the fact that the | treatment of the miners at Hazleton was no better than that Weyler accord- ed to the Cubans. We reassert the soli-
 darity of the workers of the world ir-
 respective of creed, color or race, and therefor we call on the American pro-
 letariat to join his party, the socialist labor party, and thus abolish the capi- l talist system and establish a co-oper- ative commonwealth in which all shall have peace and plenty.
 The committees of the convention were made up as follows: Nominating | committee, Messrs. Sella of Danbury, Senar of New Haven, Babin of Water bury Steigerwald of Bridgeport, Jaffar | of Hartford and Maestro of Stamford; auditing committee, Messrs.
