 The Democrats of the United States want us to nominate man who be- lieves that a revision of the tariff downwards Is essential-one who knows that the Payne-Aldrich law is not the best but the worst tariff law of injustice, inequality and tfalse pre- tense. fmpoverishing the many to subsidize the few and increasing the cost of living beyond the endurance of the people,
 They want us to nominate man who while protecting the corporations in their just rights and legitimate in tereats will at the same time exercise all his constitutional power to control combinations of capital which threat en the prosperity of the American peo- pie.
 They want us to nominate a man who can bring the Government bach to the ideals of Washington Jeffer- son. Jackson and Lincoln.
 The man who has in full measure the splendid qualifications have nam ed is the present Governor of Connec- ticut No man. in the party is his superior in conscience or in brain, or more in sympathy with the just aspir- ations of the people. Nominate him and you cannot be defeated.
 We present him to you as a great man who represents all that is best In the intellectual and moral life Of New England, and of the country. He comes Of Puritan stock. Tn his veins flows the blood of Roger Sherman, signer of the Declaration of Indepen- dence. as we'll as a signer Of the Con- stftution of the United States which, he helped to frame.
