therefore the delegation has substituted the

nelly 9th. Thomas Dunlop 10th, Ed
ward Cooper 18th, John Kelly. Mr..
tanning from the committee on resolutions,
reported the following:
The democratic party Of New York re-
new their pledge of fidelity to the princi-
pies adopted and affirmed unanimously by
delegates representing the democrats ot all
the United States together assembled in
their latest national convention. and since
reapproved and endorsed by democratic
majorities in fftccn states comprising more
than half the total population OF the
Union
from the National Democratic Platform,
Baltimore, July, 10 1872
Seventh-The public credit must be
sacredly maintained, and we denounce re-
pudiation in every form and guise.
Eighth-A speedy return 10 specie pay
ments is demanded alike by the highest
considerations or commercial morality and
honest government.
To these authentic declarations of demo-
cratic principle and policy time gives
proof The present depression OF business
IS caused by the reaction from the I'M
healthy stimulus of an excessive, depreci-
ated and irredeemable currency; by enor-
nous and il-adjrsted municipal, state and
federal taxation, and by extravaganza,
waste and peculation in the administration
of public affairs. The remedy for this
evil 10 not to be found in the renewal OF
any of its causes. In face of the fact that
the existing volume of currency is greater
than can be absorbed by business in face
of the fact that the recent fall of prices
has followed repeated inflations-any at
tempt to increase the currency would be
worse than Intellectual to revive prosperity,
for it would interrupt the healing processes
of industry it would be worse than futile
to restore confidence, for it would create
distrust and new uncertainties in business,
paralyze beginnings of enterprise, rob
labor of its too scanty employment, and
while sitting the progress of administra-
tive reforms, would nflict lasting dishonor
upon the credit, intelligence and character
of the country. The democratic party of
New York also reaflirm the principles set
forth in their platform adopted last year al
Syracuse, endorsed by $4,000 democratic
majority OF the election following, in poll
of nearly 100000 votes, and vindicated be-
fore all the people of this republic by illus.
trations in the administration of Governor
Samuel j. Tilden.
