ROCHESTER, Dot. 5.-At Rochester yes |
terday the convention was called 10 order BY
Mr.. TIlden, the Chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee, who delivered an address.
he referred to the dangers of the Republic
from csntrahzing power. The creed of the
Democratic party is compressed 10 two
ideas: First, limiting the governmental pow
ers and, second, throwing back the gov
ernmental powsrs upon the States and the
people. Decentralization prevails in places
Of public trusts to an extent never before
known. The Democratic party 10 predicated
upon purity in the government. 1t has
never slec,ed TO the Presidency any man OF
~ low standing as either Of the three Re-
publican Presidents, and the party would
reject . man Who has filed the public Offices
With relatives, who has enriched himself by
presents. President Grant seemed not to
be conscious Of the example which he hes
set, but the tendency Of such conduct Is
dangerous. Referring TO the affairs of the
state of New York, the speaker said: I'm
the era of Democratic assendency corrup-
ton was almost unknown. 1t vas other
wise with the Republican party now. Al
the lime of Republican dominancy the leg
islative bodies we're putchassble. Thrice
within twenty e We years the Office of United
States Seustor has been put up at auction
The municipal oorruptions Of New York are
lhe results of irresponsible power acting il
The secrecy of bureaus and commissions
They are the oui-growth of twenty years
Republican legislation and partnershi
plundsr between men Of both parties. Ii
-, the effort to rescue the country from thu
prevailing corruption there should be only
generous rivalry. He said, in conclusion
'Is is time now to proclaim, and enforce, Z
, decree that whoever plumbers the people
though he steal the livery of heaven q
serve the devil, is no Democrat" His ref
erenoe to the New York official corruption
was enthu siassically applauded.
Clarkson N. Potter, was elected temper
I sry chairman. His selection was made b
8 the wishes Of all thedslegates. Potter the
