THE NEW YORK PLATFORM.

The New York Democratic State
Convention which assembled at SYRIA
cuse last Thursday, nominated ticket,
adopted a platform and concluded
its labo.s yesterday. The candidates
are as follows: John Bigelow, Secretary
of State; Lucius Robinson, Controller;
Charles S. Fairchild. Attorney General;
Charles Necess, State Treasurer and
John D. Van Buren,, State Engineer.
The Platform declares that the public
credit must be sacredly maintained,
and denounces reputation in whatever
form or guise it may appear. 1t favors
as speedy resumption of specie pay
. ment, as is demanded by the consider
atoms of commercial morality, and an
honest administration of the Govern
ment. This reputation of the infa-
ton heresy will be hailed with delight
by the great majority of the Demo-
cratic party throughout the country.
1t foreshadows the platform of the
National convention next year, on
which Democratic candidate will be
elected to the Presidency. With such
a declaration from the Democracy of
the great Empire State, "hard money
and no Reputation" will be the key
note of the party in the national cam
paign; the war cry which will resound
from Maine to Texas and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and re-echo
through the balls of Democratic
Congress. 1t is the sign by which the
Democrats will conquer, and with
which q Democratic President will
inscribe his message, dated at the
White House, March 4, 1877.

of some CT mis- neighbOrs, since the rash
in some instances appeared after the

he was led TO frame for himself a hui
