The Democratic Convention Of New

SYRACUSE, Sept. l7.-The demo,
cratic convention this morning adopt
ed a platform. The following are the
principal points: 1t reaflirms the
principles Of the last national demo
cratic convention. The public credit
must be sacredly maintained; rcpudi-
alton is denounced in every form and
guise; demands a speedy return to
specie payments, which is proven
necessary by the present business de-
preston; the present volume of cur
rency is greater than can be absorbed
by business; any attempt to increase
the volume Of currency would inter
rupt the healing processes Of industry !;
it would lie worse than futile to- re-
store confidence; it would paratlize Ell
terprise, rob labor of its TOO scanty
employment, stitle the progress Of ad-
ministration reforms, and inhict last.
ing dishonor on the credit, intelligence
and character Of the country. 1t ap.
plauds the principles adopted at the
state convention last year, which are
likewise reattirmed. These are vindi-
Gated by majority Of forty thousand
votes, and by the administration of
Samuel ]. Tilden. Great applause.
The platform, which is almost al,
exact counterpart Of last years, con
cludcs by inviting the cooperation on
the part Of allzof whatever party, who
will unite in supporting reform candi.
dates on reform platform. The
nominations then made are rs follows
John -Bigelew, by exclamation, iol

for comptroller; Chas. S. Fairchlld
for attorney general; Chas. N. Ross
for state treasurer; Jno. ID. VanBurcn

st. Clair Edwards was awakened by the entrance
of one of the robbers into the cabin Of that vessel
and seized him by the legs, but the burglar was
too much for the steward, and succeeded in
making his escape. AS he left the cabin he dis
charged pistol at the steward, the ball passing
near his head, and lodging In the roof of the
cabin. There is ground for the belief that the
thieves belong to gang OF river pirates who are
known to have come over from Baltimore yester-
day. The following is the amount OF the losses as
. thus far reported: Schooner Daniel Brown,
Captain James Emerson, $270 in money and q
gold watch valued at $3.50, the property OF the

the property Of the captain; revolver, q gold

Russell, was relieved Of S1s7 in greenbacks He
is Of the opinion that he was chloroformed,
Other schooners were boarded by the thieves but
no additional losses have been reported.
Detectives McDevitt and Coomes are working
