care Of grateful people. !"
would extend the nations bounty to q
the soldiers and sailors who in the II n
OF their duty became disabled and W, n
honorably discharged. We recolle C
with satisfaction that, in the paying o
bounties, pensions and homestea.C
grants, the nation has gone beyond al
past examples OF gratitude to its de
tenders.
S,h. That the increase OF the State
debt to $66, ,000.0 is an index Of the
extravaganza and looseness OF the Dem
ocratc management OF our finances,
and is in striking contrast with the
reduction of the national debt by an
amount of 1887 ,404 ,S03 since March
lst, 1869, and the constant and repeated
abolition OF the national taxes OF more
than $l50,0O0, for which We are in
debted to the Republican Congress and
the Republican administration.
9th. That reform must come from the
party who saved the Union and legal
ized liberty and which is now in this
State engaged in the brave prosecution
OF the work Of purifying our courts,
redeeming our municipal administration
and elevating legislation.
10th. That we appeal with assured
confidence to the electors Of New York
to sustain q National Administration
whose fruits are prosperity and peace
and to establish a State Administration
which shall bring back an honorable
name and creditable government TO this
Commonwealth.
llth. That we welcome TO our ranks
honest Democrats who spurn unprinci.
pied coalition which seeks to ally them
with the discorded element Of the Re-
publican party.
18th. That the time has come when
the main canals of the State OF New York
should be adapted, by an elargement in
their locks, to steam navigation, and
made as free 10 the commerce Of the na.
ton as au economical maintenance of
them in good repair will permit; and
both OF these results should be secured
without burdening the tax payers Of the
State, the first by accepting an appro-
priation from the General Government
to improve one OF the national high
ways OF commerce, and the second by
refunding the canal debt Of the State in
bonds having long period to run and
bearing q low rate Of interest.
18th. That we point with pride TO
the prosperity that has attended our
civil commerce since it has been under
the control Of the Republican party.
l4th. That we gratefully recognize
the services OF the able aud faithful
Republican members OF The Senate and
the House Of Representatives OF the
United States, so conspicuously dis
PLAYED during the war and since its
close, in the support and de'ense Of
Republican principles.
