THEzCoN sRENCE AT G0aIPouNCE

REN HE DEMOCRATIC dinner at Lake Conn
 bounce proved to be a perfectly Iegiti- mate De1nocratic+ assemble ze sAI1d from it's de- Alterations some benefits should flow. Un- doubtedly most of the persons who assembled in the open air theatre beside the pretty lake were in favor of nominating Prof. Willard c. Fisher for governor, but the meeting made no such declaration, principally because Prof Fisher himself objected to the procedure, both as not good practical politics and as likely to iniure the purpose for which the conference was called together, to. wit, to make the Demo- his friends desire it to be- which, according to the statement in the call for the conference, is as progressive as the policy of President Will son in the nation.
 The substantial accompli sh5nent of the conference was to raise 6 committee which is with the ideas of those present and to do the utmost that can be done t0 secure the adoption of these principles by the Democratic state con- wention to be held this fsll.
 There was some talk of a bolt in case the objects should not be attained but the senti- ! that.
 The delegation from Bridgeport, and the delegation from Hartford took the ground that the Democratic party offers in the whole the best medium of expressing Democratic ideas in the nation and that the success of the Dem ocratic party in Connecticut must promote the well being of the party in the whole country
 It was also said, with perfect truth, that the Democracy offers free field to all it's members to present their views to the party, and free opportunity in Democratic primaries to present their candidates to the party But became the duty of Democrats to Loyalty abide by that result
 To such position there can be no reason able objection on the part of any Democrat.
