LOCAL POLITICS.
PROCLAMATION OF THE GERMAN REPUBLICAN
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
To the Electors of the State of Neto- York i:
GewYork will at its approaching State election, follow
the example Of Ohio and Pennsylvania. We are led 70
believe this all, by the fact that the Democratic
patorm is opposed to the lust and wise policy which Is
necessarily consequence of the times Of republican
institutions and Of the late civil war; by which policy
alone the nation obtain lasting peace and the I'M
disturbed development OF her immense resources Tile
honest payment Of the national debt and the Consttu
onal guarantee Of equal rights for all citizens are the
aim Of the Republican party and so long as these ques
tons still open noimpartal and patriotic citizen can
hesitate support this party Every vote for the Dem
ocratlc platform is theiOther hand vote against the
Fifteenth Amendment, and for Pendeton and protest
against the Administration OF President Grant Tie
Democratic platform demonstrates that the Democratic
party is unwilling to learn and opposes with blind zeal

Seymour and Blair, and demands financial
policy according to the theories OF PendletoD How
long dishonesty and injustice TO disgrace our nation
Pennsylvania and Ohio have notwithstanding the extra
ordinary efforts OF the reactOnaryhparty declared most
Enthusiastically that they willing to sacrifice the re-
suits OF the war TO narrow and selfish preudces; that
they recognize the principles Of justice in the Fifteenth
Amendment that they dsapprove OF national dishonesty
argued IN Pendletons financial theories and see no de-
csve for turning their back on the policy OF the
Administration The Fifteenth Amendment proclains
that no American citizen native adopted, shall Be de-
priced Of the ri0h Of suffrage account Of race color and

protests against it, under the pretext that 1t would de-
pve the States Of the right 20 enact laws concerning
qualifications Of electors, IL insists upon its old devicer

ing the seven months Of President Grants admnistra
on and the intention Of the Government to fund the

publican platform demands State law TO prevent elect
ion frauds, while the Democratic platform Is silent on
this point Considering the stupendous frauds which
cheated the State Of EewYork out OF her honest vote for
Grant and Cofax, this silence ia ominous. viii New
York again suffer herself TO be defrauded by unprinci
pied demagoguesi Tho agitation against the Excise
law had been skifuly and successfully used an In
strument against the Republican party; how does it
happen that the democratic platform. instead OF de-
mandng the abolition of the law, claims its extension
over the whole State Where is the promise where is tho
90 often declared obligation of the Democratic party to
wipe out the obnoxious law Is an evil no evil II 1t Is

the Republican Convention has placed men at the head
