SAdlE NEAAA G44 LuA4AAAA4tAEE5 A2EHEA HUI O-- der, calling the convention. His re- marks were brief in opening the con- yention. Under the existing rules he said that he would appoint as tenn porary officers John J. Walsh chair man and Edward J. Maher secretary. Chairman Walsh said that formalities would be waived, and that the commit tees on organization. resolutions and credentials would retire and prepare their reports.
 Delegate Joseph F. Manning. of New Haven, moved that all the committees mentioned by MT. Walsh, save the committee on resolutions, should with draw. He said that the last named body should wait to receive such reso- lutions as any of the delegates who would stay for Mir. Walsh's speech might desire to present. The tempora- ry chairman explained that the resolu- tions could easily be presented and he asked the committee on resolutions to withdraw to it's room at the right of the stage, while the other committees went to their respective places. During the half hour which was oc- cupied in getting the delegates seated in the theater, and while the members of the convention were passing in, Eu- gene D. Fisk, of Branford, stood at the entrance and distributed tickets with the name of Carlos French for gover- nor. This action was the more marked because Mr. French had publicly re- sponded to Fisk's recent efforts in his behalf by insisting that his name be not used.
 At this point Judge Walsh, as chair man, delivered his speech, which lasted about forty-five minutes.
 MT. Walsh began by denying that the present prosperity was due in any way to the republican party. He then spoke at length on monopolies and at- tackled the republicans for allowing them. He denounced the work of the constitutional convention and claimed that the affairs of the state are extrav- agantly managed and that there are too many commissions and office-hold- CTS.
 Toward the end of his address MT. Walsh paid glowing tribute to Gov ernor George P. Mclean for his stand on the matter of constitutional reform. The utterance was greeted with pro- longed applause. Just then a young delegate arose and shouted: "As dem- ocrat I propose three cheers for George P. Mclean" The cheers were not giv- en because the speaker raised hand of warning and the enthusiast dropped to his seat.
 | Mr WntcI1 fIny1 hot from Austin B. Fuller and others had been handed in with the request that he, as temporary chairman, read the same. MT. Walsh said he was forced to refuse the request, since the convention had not been permanently organized. ] The report of the committee on cre- i Hentials was the next business brought up. It was recommended in the report that MT. Walsh be made the permanent chairman and that the secretaries of the delegations be made the permanent sec retaries of the convention.
 Senator Walsh briefly accepted the honor of the permanent chairmanship in graceful speech, thanking the con- vention for the election, and declaring ] that when the present convention closed every man should leave with convic- ton that his vote had been counted. Senator Welsh announced that the four delegates from Union, Committee man Hanley's district, assemble with the committee on credentials at the rear of the stage. There appeared to be some doubt as to the credentials of that delegation.
 A recess of half an hour was moved, but Delegate Joseph R. Manning of this city moved to make it only ten minutes. His amendment passed, but Chairman Walsh explained that the committee on credentials was not ready to report, and would not be for half an hour. The orig inal motion of half an hours recess was then passed by a viva voce vote and at 12 o'clock the convention took half 8 nhour's recess.
 At 12:45 Chairman Walsh announced the report of the committee on creden- tials and resolutions, and they called upon the following to address the con- vention: Ex-Mayor Hyde of Hartford, Colonel Osborn. James M. Sullivan, and C.J. Danaher of Meriden. Here the re- port of the comp1ittee on resolutions was given and the platform was read and accented
 THE PLATFORM.
 We, the representatives of the demo- cratic party of the state of Connecticut, in convention assembled, do reaff1rm our allegiance to the democracy of the nation and reassert our faith in its principles
 TRUSTS.
 1. We have no sympathy with the re- publican policy of fostering and pro- tecting monopolies by legislation and at the expense of the people. We believe that the price of beef, coal and other necessaries of life have been raised through illegal combinations and by means of special privileges conceded to monopoly by the party in power, and we, therefore, demand the immediate repeal of all tariffs upon trust produced articles, so as to prevent monopoly un- der the plea of protection. We also de- mand the most stringent enforcement of all existing laws against trusts, and the passage of such new laws as are re- quired to supplement and give potency to existing statutes We demand pub lcity as to the affairs of corporations engaged in interesting commerce. and the enactment of laws requiring all such corporations, before doing business out side the state of their origin, to show hot hox Tor in thnfr
