peoples to withhold the application of the
public moneys levied by taxation npon the

expenditure, which was encouraged and
stimulated by fraudulent and tconious fin

and by eXtravagant and INSCRIPTIONS appro-
priatlons of money by the legislature in OK
cess OF our revenues under the democratic
administration, which went out of exist
ence in 1872. The question presented to
the people of the state is, whether the adj
ministration Of that party shall be restored
with the danger of n renewal of its abuses,
or whether the republican party, which has
cXtirpatod them, shall continued in mower
to complete the reforms it has commenced
and is laboring TO accomplish, with an ear
nestness and zeal which give the state
an enviable standing among disinterested
| men of all parties throughout the country.
l cannot doubt what the popular verdict
will be on such an issue. When our oppn-
| nents say TO us, the people of the state are
burdened with debt and oppressed with tax
alton, our answer to them is that they arc
the authors, and that we are laborinr on
our part to reduce the one 10y payment and
to alleviate the other by rigid economy in
expenditure. With our record for the last
two years before the people. do not fear
that they will be msled by the representa-
tons OF our political advcrsaries, or that
they will be beguiled into their support by
any promises of amendment in that quar-
ter. (Applause). In carrying out any sys-
tenn of reform in which we are engaged,
we shall be greatly aided if amendments to
the constitution 10 be submitted to the pco-

they may Ike carefully considered in refer

You need not &c admonshcd, fellow
citizens, OF the Importance of the coming
election in other respects. The interests of
the state are not alone involved in it. We
have United States senator and members
of congress to elect. On the result will de
pend our ability to sustain the chief magis-
tra,e of the Uuijn in his earnest and well
inten led efforts TO promote the welfare of
the country, to maintain its tranquility at
home, and to preserve unimpaired our
friendly relations with foreign powers.
The congress to he elected will control the
legislation of the country during the two
remaining years of his administration, and

may need i'll any emergency that may here
after arise, or in accomplishing any great
measure which the public may demand.
With these vital interests, state and nation
al, at stake, no effort should be spared ON
our part to sustain the action of the repub-

the pledges contained In its admirable rcso-
lutions. Standing on that platform, am

cannot fail to secure Il triumphant victory.

of the work of the Utica convention. Brief
speeches of congratulation were made by
Comptroller Hopkins and Mr.. Smith. The

of their ticket.
