to ALBANY, N. r., Sept, 92--The Liberal
Republican convention of the State of New
met here to-day. Mr.. willis. from the Com
mittee on resolutions, reported as follows:
Resoled, That we consider It self evident
that there can be no sound currency but
coin or paper convertible into coin at de-
mand, and that without a speedy return to
wlich national disaster threatens the whole
aystem of civil service needs reform, that
the military authority be subordinate to the
civil that q single presidential term Is
enough. That locaLse government is the
basis Of time government, and that federal
interference s,', with j., the :, rights II of
States ursurps with social systems
and political tests. 40 Discriminating
in race and color, arefatal to equal and ex-
act justice to all men. That the original
and the amendmentsto the Federal .Consti-
tuition are obligatory in their text spirit and
in their judicial exposition, subject neither
to executive capfices nor to the exigencies
of personal government! That a free
press is the bulwark of; free men, that mu-
nicipal rights be respected; monopolies re-
pressed, ana econopyrin public e1penditnse
be observed, That the minimum ofItaxs7
tion be secured, peculators punished and the
corruption Of public morals banishedu That
canal reform be upheld and the. school fund
be sacredly devoted to our present system of
common schools and that appropriations of
the peoples monies to sectarian uses cease, :,
that bribery and corruption are the cankers
of the body polite and should be punished
through all their subtle forms and the guilty
be pursued, and -'Dp Ilr Lau al t1@I
Resolved, That while Official trusts are in
point in the system and while honest and
capable incumbents in them are essential to
the administration Of every good govern
ment. The intrusion of Office e5holders. into
machinery Of politics and their actual par
ticipation in nominating conventions is a
notorious abuse, at once offensive to public
decency and productive of unmitigated
evils. We therefore denounce the practice
and demand their exclusion from further
political conventions. .'l
Resolved, That we condemn the National
administration for its illegal and oppressive
acts, for its retention of corrupt men in Of
flee, for its shifting and unstable pol lev IN
the administration of the finances, for it's
initiation of the currency, its fraudulent pre-
tences to the contrary notwithstanding, for
it's extravagant expenditure and It's general
disraro ri for N foil
-Res0lUed, That with every advocate Of
honesty in public affairs we rejoice in the
prospect that the gang of confederated
thieves within the canal ring who also
have prcyed upon the substance of
pursued and subjected to condign pun
ishment; and while this consumation
has been pu 'licly prayed for by liberals,
they by no means STINT the generous mea.
sure of praise due, irrespective of political
consideration to Hon. Saml. j. Tilden, the
leader of the crusade, and they by all means
propose to sustain his hands and the hands
of every body besides whom they shall have
reason to believe will fight, or whom they
will find fighting for pure and incorrupt
government in the interest of the people,
and they caution electors to choose for the
legislative officers, none but those who can
be depended on to sustain all measure of
reform. Applause.
Resolyed, that the liberal republicans of
the state of New York, in convention
assembled intending to maintain the
principles they have repeatedly and
hitherto uniformly professed, congratulate
The country upon the generous favor to
which they have attained, and believing that
if not entirely yet, that they are substanti-
LILY recognized by both the Democratic and
;he Republican parties of the State, do
not think it necessary or useful to nominate
! State ticket. They do therefore recon-
mend to the liberal and indepdent voters of
he State to support those candidates al
'eady in nomination whose character and
experience they most approve, and who, in
heir judgmens will most earnestly and ef-
cooperate with Governor Tilden >
n his work Of administrative reform. :
Without making any nominations the !
onvention adjourned sine dee. c
