Republican Platform of New York.

The republicans of New York, in conven-
ton assembled, adopt the following resolu-
tons -
Flrst-That the republicans of New York
resflirm the principles so often approved by
the people, and point to the past achieve
ments Of their party as pledge that it Is
equal TO every new requirement.
Second-That we demand obedience to the
laws and the full protection of every citizen
in the enjoyment of his rights against the as
saults of Kuklux assassins and White League
revolutionists, who are encouraged by every
democratic success; this protection to be
given by the State, if they can and WILL but
if the States fail by the general government,
in strict conformity with the Constitution and
laws.
ThirG-That 10 armed attempt to subvert
the recognize d government of State is revo-
luton, and revolution must Re suppressed
and the supremacy of law maintained at every
costs that the public faith must be preserved
lnvolate, and the public debt be paid in coin.
Fitth-That we oppose any imitation of the
paper currency and indorse the Presidents
veto of the imitation act; and we are in favor
of a return to specie payments, and of such
action on the part of the government as will
speedily secure that result.
SiXth-That taxation, whether national or
State, whether direct or indirect, should be
kept at the lowest practicable point permitted
by an economical ADMINISTRATION and the re-
quirements of the public credit, and should
be so adjusted as to be the least burdensoms
to all classes.
Seventh-ThGt the administration of Presi-
dent Grant has been true to its pledges and
distinguished by achievements in domestic
and foreign policy unsurpassed in the history
OF the country.
Eighth-That the administration of Gov
Dix in Its purity, dignity and wisdom has full.
filled the highest expectations of the people,
and we point especially to the management of
the State finances, as showing the wide diff
ference between the republican and demo-
cratic rule, which democratic rule was such
IN its proiigacy as not OF ly to consume all
the heavy taxes paid by the over-burdened
people but also to take six and half millions
of dollars from the sacred deposit of the sink
ing fund. This the republican administration
has now made good, and has increased the
sinking fund from one million to more thar
fifteen millions OF dollars, thus relieving the
people of that indebtedness.

plant, which is really the greatest thing Of

stalk of the plant, less than half an inch in d.
ameter, bears Il cluster of d dozen tomatoes
ofditferent sizes, and weighing severa, pounds.
1t is really sight to behold. The cluster is
sent to US at this particular time on account
of the peculiar soothing and pecifying quail
ties OF the tomato. Persons stfi ictcd with
libel suits have been known to obtain perma-
nent relief by frequent applications. One
dose often takes the pugilistic passions from
al individual, and il is no telling how many
libel suits the gay and festive tomato has pre-.
vented.
