new York Democratic Conven-

At the Democratic State Convention,
which met at Utica, on April 9th, per-
manent organization was effected with Mr..
Jacobs as chairman. Gov. Seymour adj
dressed the Convention.
The resolutions were reported and adop-
ted
The Committee on Delegates reported the
following at large: Francis Herman, VIII
liam Dorsheimer, Henry c. Murphy, and

District delegates were reported.
The report of the committee was agreed
Among the district delegates are Con-
gressmen Cox and Bliss, John Kelly, Roger
a. Pryor. August Belmont, Oswald Often
dorfer, Manton Marble, Augustus Schen
and Mayor Wickham.
The platform renews its fidelity to the
principles set forth in the platforms of 1874
IS. The Democratic party of New York
readopt also their resolutions adopted IN the
State Conventions of 1874, '6S, ~, to-wit:
ResoEred That the delegates TO the Demo-
cratic National Convention to be appointed
are hereby instructed to enter that Conyen-
ton as a unit in accordance with the will of
a majority of the members thereof; and in
case any of its members shall be appointed

Gus deliberations of the National C0nven-
ton, declare their settled prineiples-the
| frugal expenditure and the administrative
policy Of the founders of the Republic, as
| the first and most imperious necessity of
the times The commanding issue now be-
fore the people is the Union, and they sug-
gest with respectful Difference to their
| brethren of other States and with cordial
appreciation of other renowned Democratic
statesmen, faithful, like him, to their polit-
ical principles and public trusts that the
nomination of Samuel J. Tilden, to the
office of President would insure the vote of
New York, and would be approved through
out the Union as the recognition of this
supreme necessity, the incarnation of this
vital issue, the pledge of our high purpose
and the guarantee of a successful achieve
ment of this arduous work of national re-
generation and reform.

Democratic majority

1 DCuiOCldbAO ny """S - - . -
Take from the above list both New
Jersey and Indiana, or in lieu of thesC
any other States which may with any
show of reason be considered doubtful
and still sufficient margin will be lef
to elect the Democratic ticket if New
York is secured. That she will be Sc
cured with Tilden as the candidate
scarcely doubt can be felt. He has
the prestige of victory. He was elected
to his present position by $4,000 major
ity over Gov Dix, the most popular Re
publican in the State. At the election o.
last year under his leadership the State
was held fast to its Democratic moorings
while Ohio and others were swept away
by the reactionary wave. Speaking o.
the attitude of the State in the election
Harper's Weekly, the most widely read
and influential of the Northern Republic
can papers, makes this frank acknowl
edgment in its issue Of the 29th of April
1t is conceded that New York will be the
great battle field of the campaign. Its
thrty-hVe votes will be the chief prize in
the contest. The State is now Democratic
Its Governor is one of the most accomplish
ed politicians in the country. He is, more
over, the one conspicuous Democrat in the
country who is known as a reformer. AL
though, as we said last week, the election
of last year did not show that he was cor
daily sustained by his party, the elections
to the Democratic Convention of this
spring show how complete is his present
ascendancy. His chance for the Preslden-
tial nomination of his own party Is to-day
very much better than that of any other
Democrat, and there is no man in that party
for whom a dissatisfied New York Repub-
lican could so easily vote. We know
staunch Republicans, delegates to the Gin
cinnati Convention, who did not hesitate last
summer to call themselves Tilden Republi-
cans.
Nor is this tribute to Tilden an i'm
putation upon his fidelity to Democratic
principles. 1t is the tribute which the
world involuntarily pays to success.
Tilden has never been defeated. He is
a Democrat Of the straightest sect, hard
money, free trade and sailors rights,
strict construction Democrat of the school
of Jefferson and Jackson. But above
all, his name is the synonym of Reform,
and that is the magic word of the can
vass.
Nevertheless, we are open to convic-
ton. If Tilden is not the man, then
let the choice fall upon whoever can most
assuredly win the fight. 1t is not
question of men. 1t is a question of
country.

From a reference to a summary of the
State revenue bill which We published few
days ago, it will be seen that while the two
mill school tax is repealed, the distribution
of liquor licenses fines, forfeitures, and land
redemption is required to be made to canns
ties, with provision that if the funds so dis
tributed do not amount to as much rs was
produced by the said two mill tax of
1874, the deficiency shall be made up from
the general fund. BY a reference to the
Auditors reports, We find that the liquor
licences, fines, forfetares and land redemp-
tions, for 1874 and 1873 amount to some
$250,000, and we have been informed that
careful estimate of the sum which would be
available from this source will make an
average OF 81, 20 for each educable child in
this State. If this be so but little more
would be necessary TO carry out what we I'M
derstand is the wish Of the present Lepisls-
ture and the State Superintendent ofPublie
Education, that the schools of the Safe shall
be kept in operation for six months in the
year instead of four months as at present.
The capital which the Radical papers have
attempted to make Out Of this CLAUSE in the
revenue bill will react upon their own heads
This straw which like drowning man they
have 50 eagerly clutched at, has proven to be
nothing but thin air, and they can no longer
fool the colored people with the bosh about
the Democrats depriving their children of
educational PRIVILEGES
