New York Republican Cenve.tion.

oARAToGA, August ZZ.- Inc hepuDli-
can State Convention met to dsy, and
Warner Miller was chosen temporary
Chairman. The attendance is large,
aud much interest is taken in the proceed
ings. The Independent delegates from
New York were given seats in the Con.
vention, without vote. After the APP
pointment OF the usual committees, the
Convention took recess till 8 o'clock.
Upon reassembling, John N. Francis
was elected permanent chairman, and
briefly addressed the convention.
The chair presented Q communication
from the Liberal Convention, also as
semblsd to-day at Saratoga, pledging
their support 10 Hayes and Wheeler.
The communication was accepted, and
the delegates to the Liberal Convention
invited to seats on the floor of the Con-
vention.
B. Plstt Carpenter, from the Commit
tee on Resolutions, reported affirming the
privileges declared in the resolution Of
the National Republican Convention Of
June IA, 1876, and set forth in the letters
of acceptance of K. b. Hayes and w. A.
Wheeler, our candidates for President
and Vice. President The resolutions
especially approve the manly and un-
equivocsl declaration upon the subject OF
civil service reform of our candidate for
President and accept it as the platform
of the Republican party reatfirm the
equal rights of all, and tho duty of the
government to secure them 10 every citi-
zen; to maintain the public faith in favor
of the speedy resumption OF specie
payments; denounce the sction of the
Democratic House of Representatives in
repeating the date for resumption as a
act Of repudiatlon and disloyslty and IN
open violation of the section Of the four
teenth amendment Of the Constitution
which provides that the validity of the
public debt authorized by law shall not
be questioned. As conclusive
evidence of Democratic duplicity
we point to the facts that the
executive OF this state while signing
a law establishing specie payments in
New York, and requiring all taxes 20 be
paid in gold on and stter Jsr usry ],
1879; JOINS with his party as It's Pre-
sidential candidate in repudating the
pledge Of specie resumption throughout
the country at the same date, thus COM
pelling the people of New York TO pay
in gold and at the same time denying
them means to do it. The resolutions
also denounce the Democratic Congress
as false on the currency subject, on
the question of the safety Of the
public schools, and on the civil ser
vice reform and for the removal OF Union
soldiers and placing Confederates in their
stead; challenge as untrue the claim OF
credit to the Democratic administration
for reduction of taxation, because the
Republican administration has largely
reduced the public debt while the present
state administration has reduced it but
slightly; and finally, recognize the patri-
otism and public services OF Persistent
Grant.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
