The people having in the last Presi-
DENTAL contest elected by an overwhelm,
ing popular and clear electoral majority
the Democratic candidates for President
and Vice President, and the will Of the

and frauds Of the returning boards pro-

threatening array OF military force,
Resoiued, That at this the first Conven.
tion OF Democrats Of this State held since
the contamination OF this great crime, il
is not only just and fit, but it is the plain
duty in the interest Of constitutional gov.
ernment and in vindication and preser-
vation Of the sacred right Of the majority
10 choose their rulers, to denounce with
the warmest indignation this stupendous
wrong, and we do hereby denounce and
condemn and hold it up to universal
cxecration.
Resolred, That this duty Of setting a
mark Of infamy on this transaction and
preventing any quick forgetiulneSs or
easy condonation OF it from raising a
tempting precedent for future outrages,
rests especially and peculiarly upon the
Democratic party OF this State, one of
whose most illustrious leaders was the
President actually chosen by the Nation.
Rcsolred, That the late House Of Repre-
sentatives deserve the thanks Of all patri.
OTIS and lovers Of liberty for their just re.
fusal in the exercise OF the most ancient
and valuable privilege belonging to the
representatives OF the people in all con-
stitutional governments, 10 appropriate

used in the illegal and despotic oppres.
sion OF citizens in any portion OF the Re-
public.
ResoFpsd, That the present National
Administration, by its withdrawal Of
troops from the South and its cessation
from mischievous, unconstitutional and
oppressive interference with the internal
affairs Of States, has in that respect re.
versed the vicious precedents Of the Re.

marked out by the Federal Constitution,
and 10 which the Democrats stand pledg.
ed, and it is therefore entitled, in that
particular, to the approval Of all good
citizens.
The Democratic party OF New York
reafIirm the following principles set
forth in their platform adopted in 1874,
now thrice indorsed by large majorities
OF the voters Of this State: Gold and
silver the only legal tender; no currency
inconvertible with coin; steady steps 10.

Capitalization; equal and exact Justice to

sponsible for all legislation while in

Resolred, That we are opposed to grant,
ing subsidies by the government 10 cor
pOrations or individuals for the construc.
tion of railroads or other internal i'm.
proyemcnts, as unnecessary, beyond the
scope Of federal power and inevitably
producing corruption.
ReSolred, That we congratulate the
whole people Of this State; that notwith-
standing the suffering 10 which the labor
ing classes have for years been subjected:
in spite Of their failure to obtain remu-
neraIiye employment and the bitter pri.
yations which have been imposed upon
them thereby, they have endured these
calamities for the most part with pa
tieuce, without disorder or the violation
Of public peace, and we declare that It Is
through the beDefcent operation Of
equal laws favoring no one Class at the
expense ot another, a stern refusal on
the part Of the legislative bodies to yield
to the schemes Of graspipg monopolies,
and the decrease Of public expenses and
taxation TO the lowest practicable point,
that the laboring classes Of the country,
with whom the Democratic party has al.
ways strongly and intelligently sympa.
thized, are mainly 10 find ctfectual and
permanent relief.
ResOlred, That We favor uniform and
equitable excise law having re.
gard for and protecting the ishts Of

visions puuishing Its violation.
Rssolutd, That we demand more com,
