THE NEW YORK REPUBLlCANS
IN COUNCIL.
Ex.Gov. Il. d. Morgan Nominated
for Governor.

Saratoga, August 23.-The Republican
State Convention met oday and Warner
Mills was chosen temporary Chairman.
The attendance was large and much in
terest taken in the proceedings. The
independent delegates from New York
were given seats in the Convention, bat
without a vote. After the appointment
of the usual committees the Convention
took a recess.
Upon Resembling John N. Francis
was elected permanent Chairman, and
briefly addressed the Convention.
The Chair presented q communication
from the Liberal Republican Convention
also assembled here, pledging their sup
Fort to Hayes and Wheeler. The COM
munication was accepted and delegates
to the Liberal Convention were invited
to seats on the floor.
B. Plat Carpenter, from the Commit
tee on Resolutions, reported series OF
resolutions reafirming the principles of
the Cincinnati Convention as set forth
in the letters of acceptance of Hayes and
Wheeler. The resolutions especially ap-
prove the uneqnivocal declarations upon
the subject of civil service reform of our
Presidential candidate and accept it as
the platform of the Republican party;
reafirm the equal rights of all and the
duty of the Government to secure them
to every citizen, and its duty to maintain
the public faith in favor of a speedy re-
sumption of specie payments; denounce
the action of the Democratic House of
Representatives in repeating the date for
resumption as an act of reputation and
- ay,l al of
section Of the Fourteenth Amendment.
which provides that the validity Of the
public debt authorized by law shall not
be questioned: say that as a conclusive
evidence of Democratic duplicity We
point to the fact that the Executive of
this State while signing the law estab-
fishing specie payments in New York,
and requiring all taxes to be paid in gold
Oh and after January l, 1879, joins with
his party, as its Presidential candidate,
in repudiating the pledge Of specie re-
sumption throughout the country at the
same time, thus compelling the people
of New York to pay in gold, and at the
same time denying them the means to
do it. The resolutions also denounce
the Democratic Congress as false on the
currency subject, on the question of the
safety Of public schools, and on civil
service reform, and for the removal of
Union soldiers and placing Confederates
in their stead; challenge as untrue the
claim of credit to the Democratic Ad-
for reduction, because the
Administration largely re.
lluced the public debt, while the present
State Administration has reduced it but
slightly; and finally, recognize the pat
riotism and public services of President
Grant.
The resolutions were unanimously |
adopted, and the nomination of eandi-
lates for Governor proceeded with.
