The two parties occupy the same platiorm, During the war tt was found necessary 10 make a iarge issue of greenbacks, and by the aid of them that war was carried to a suc- cesstul termination, He spoke of Hugh McCullo: and said (hat his system of national bank tssue was in the iterests of banks, with which he had been loug connected in ludiaga, The speaker said that the green- back was money as much as gold and silver w: Cou. gress makes it money, aud you can’t go back of that.” (Applause.) ‘You all’ know,’ said be, “what times we had when greenbacks were plenty, before they began to take them away from us. The country then in a much greater state of prosperity than it is now. You laboring men ceuld get $3 or $44 duy then ant not enongh men to do the work. Now you are tramps, becuuse your employers bave failed and there is no work for you to do.” There have been 4,000 farms in the West sold on first mortgages and 17 railroads have failed.” The speaker then explained the Mnancial policy at length aud suid that the Resumption act was & direct damage to the working men of the country. “Every one, said he, “will be $100 better off, aiter a year of Cooper’s Presidency.” (Appluuse.) | (Some one tn the crowd here made the’ remark that if there was a dollar in the crowd there would be a good chance tor a pickpocket.) “Yes,"’ responded one of the speakers from the platform, “and you may thank the two great political parties that you haven't a ceut in your pocket.” Protessor Hume, of Long Island City, was then in- troduced vy the Chairman and made an earnest appeal for bis candidate, He thought that the Presidenual chair bad been flied by many lawyers and sotae soldiers, and he was sorry to that some of them had not always behaved well, but bad we ever a mechanic in the chair? Mr. Cooper was a mechanic. You can tel! him by his works. Here the speaker paused and pomted to Cooper Institute, that towel above tho peoplo, who looked and cheered enthusiastically. He, the speaker, was not satisfied with affairs, There was pleuty of food, and yet men were marching through some of bur cities crying for afreeman’s right—work. (Prolonged cheers.) President Lincoln said that gold was good, but an honest, patriotic man was better, Peter Couper was such a man, He wanted mouey, a The goverument insulted the people when they put repu- Giation on the bilis He wanted a dollar to say on its face this is a doliar, and it would be backed by the wealth and power of the couutry. The men of ihe West are holding out their hands to the men of the East Mechanics must be represented in Congress by their like, agriculturists by their class. He then cidsed with a strong appeai for Cooper and Cary. Tbe next speaker was Thomas Angie Deverre, who commenced by arraigning Walker aud McCullouch jor their systems 0! finance while Sec- retaries of the Treasury. The speaker wauted states- men ct Washington, not political thieves, He likened the two political parties to w black and gray wolf and Peter Cooper toa great big, good watch dog, who would uot bite, He wanted the people to vote for the watch aog, and then backed off the platform amid cheers. The next speakers were William West, Gaspar Van Hoesen, and Mr, James Buchanan, of Indiana ‘the meeting then adjourned.

Wait, Norwich, tn coming tor- ward as temporary chairman, sad he fully appre: ciated the honor conferred, and congratulated the Convention on the prospect of a suecessiu! campaign by them to be inaugurated. The coming contest would be one of ynusual. importance. Hie was rejoiced to see #0 many of those present who stood by the party dur- ing the dark days of the rebeilion, and he felt confident that Connecticut would Le placed in line with her sis ter New Engiand States next November, There was no chance lor the greenback or prohibition candidate, The votes cast fur @em would be absolutely turown away, The issue was between the democratic and re- publican parties, with chances iargely in favor of tho latter, He coucluded in a eulogy of the names and fame of Hayes and Wheeler.

MARSHALL JRWELL'S SPRECH, Marshall Jewell, in accepting the permanent chair- manship of the Couventiou, said:— GENTLEMEN OF Tux ConveNtion—I thank you for the honor conferred in selecting me to preside over your deliberations, You ar@ called upon to nominate Sta ollioers for the Orsi time since the change in constitu.

The demand for pure admigistration is more marked than at any previous time in our history, aud the republicans of Connecticut should see to it Uhat tueir nominations are tuily abreast of the highest requiremeots of the times. With suct candidates and with a til voto I have bo douvt of our success, Connecticut is proba. bly no exception to the rule which prevatis in New England. Should everybody vote, suould every cruizen exercise bis right and perform his duty at ballot box, no doubt a majority would be found in this as im all the other New England States, in aver at equal rights, equal aud exact justice to all, and im favor of the government remaining in the hands of its triends—in the bands ot those who voted for and fought to perpetuate it—rather than for taking the risk involved in banding it over to a party so largely come posed of its late enemies. Among our other duties (8 that of nominating electors to cast the vote of this State in the electoral college. The question as to which party shail cast this vote is of tm ce PAT he mount even to the State election, but the two will doubtiess go hand in band, THE MATTERS AT 18SUE this fall can be narrowed down toa small compass. Al most, if not quite the first, in importance is whether thi country shall take up ip sober earnestness tne question whether we shall permanently have an irreaeemable currency or not and whether we shall prepare ourselved at some given ime, at some fixed day, to redeem our promise made so long ago and untuil for so many yeours—to make our currency equivalent to coin, Thd party opposing us has said by its representatives 1 Congress that we ought not to fix any day for resump tion, ‘There can be Jittle doubt as to where the repubx lheans of Connecticut stand on that question. “hi desire the government to do as they would indiv! ually. ‘The Lusiness men of this State, bad they money to pay im the future, or had tbey an important changé to make im their business, or some policy to initiate, woald fix a time to do it, and when the time arrived would act promptly upon that resolution, No corporation or company or business firm inthis State would hesitate for a mo. ment on a question so clear as this. 11 they found it necessary to change their plan of operations, or their manner of doing business, they woula name a time when the change should occur and would at once proe- pare for the emergeucy, Thatis tho dictate of come mon sense, of business, of propriety, of all the rules of action in all financial affairs, aud yot the candidates of our opponents, and our opponents themselves, contess in words ani deeds that the best way toresume is to have x particular time to do it in, but as Mr. Tilden said his letter of acceptance:—"When wise Breparales shall have ripened into perfect ability to accompli the object with ease and certainty.” CONTRASTING THE CANDIDATES, ‘There is our candidate! Look at him! Weigh bt acts, his life, his promises, his character, and the part; beuind him, and make up your minds whether he 18 equal to tue occasion, Take the candidate of our op» ponents!

The Committee on Resolutions then reported the following platform :— ‘The republican pariy of Connecticut renews its deslara. tou of implicit allegiance to the constitutions of the United States and the State of necticut, and its devotion to the inspirations in which the party was born and by which is carried the nation in triumph through the pi of civil war.

In other words, Lngersoil’s majority over Green was 9,480, and over all, 0,538. In tho election last spring there was a slight falling off in the democratic vot Mr. Ingersoll receiving 51,188 votes, to Mr, Robinson's (republican) 43,510; Atwater (areenback), 1,973, and Smith (temperance), 1,952 Ingersoll over Robinson, 7.628; majority over all, 3,673. Its belleved by the democracy that there will be no material change in the aggregate vote for their candida! bext November, but leading republicans claim that a large share of the 000 liberal votes cast tor Horace Greeley in 1872 will return to them in 1876; that the temperance men, who never vole for republican Governors, but who do vote for republican Presidents when they have a chan: siand ready to vote right this year, and that wit! these acquisitions, strengthened by recruits from among the doubtful men in the State who can be Vrought to see the error of their devious ways, Conse spe can reasonably be secured to Hayes ang cle!
