New York DemOcr attic state Convention
The Democrats OF New York, assembled in
convention at Albany, nominated the following
ticket: Secretary Of State, Allen @. Beach /;
controller, Frederick P. Olcott treasurer,
James Mackin; Encouragement, Augustus
Schoonmaker Jr.; Engineer, Horatio Seymour
Jr. The following platform was adopted {:
The people having in the last Presidential con-
test elected by an overwhelming popular and q
clear electoral ma jority, the Democratic candi-
dates for President and Vice-President, and
the will of the Nation, thus constltutlonally
declared, having been wickedly and boldly
nullifed by means of the grossest usurpaton
and frauds of returning boards protected and
adopted, if not instigated, by the party in pos
session of the Government and rendered prac-
ticable by threatening array of military force.
Resolved, That at this, the first convention OF
the Democrats of this State, held since the
contamination Of this great crime, it is not only
lust and fit but it is the plain duty in the inter-
est of Constitutional government, and IN the
vndicaton and preservation of the sacred
right of the majority, to choose their rulers,
to denounce with the warmest indignation this
stupendous wrong, and we do hereby denounco,
condemn, and hold it up to universal execra-
ton. Resolved, That this duty of setting
mark of infamy upon this transaction, and pre-
venting any quick forgetfulness or easy condo
nation of it from raising tempting precedent
for future outrages, rests especially and pecu-
larly upon the Democratic party Of this State,
one of whose most illusrious leaders was the
President actually chosen by the Nation.
Resolved, That the late House of Representa-
deserve the thanks of all patriots and lovers OF
liberty for their refusal, in the exercise of the
most ancient and valuable privilege belonging
to representatives of the people in all constitu-
tional Governments to appropriate money for
the support of soldiers to be used in the illegal
and despotic oppression Of citizens in any por-
ton of the Republic. Resolved, That the
present National Administration by its with
drawal of the troops from the South, and its
cessation from the mischievous, unconstitu-
tional and oppressive interference with the
internal affairs of States, has in that respect
reversed the vicious precedents OF the Repub-
lican party, followed the course marked out by
the Federal Constitution, and to which the
Democrats stand pledged, and it is therefore
entitled in that particular to the approval of
all good citizens. The Democratic party of
New York reatfirm the following principles set
forth in the platform adopted in 1874 now
thrice Endorsed by large majorities of the
voters of this State Gold and silver the only
legal-tender no currency inconvertlble with
coin steady steps toward specie payments, no
step backward the honest payment of the
public debt in coin sacred preservation of
the public faith revenue reform; tariff for
revenue only no government partnership with
protected monopolies home rule to limit and
1ocalize most zealously the few powers intrust-
ed to public servants, municipal, State and
Federal no Capitalization equal and exact
justice to all men =; no partial legislation, no
partial taxation; official accountability enforced
by better civil and criminal remedies no pri-
vate use of public funds by public officers {;
corporations chartered by the State always
supervisable by the State in the interest of the
people the party i'll power responsible for all
legislation while in power !; economy IN public
expenses that labor may be lightly burdeneC.
Received, That we are opposed to the granting
of subsidies by the Government to corporations
or individuals for the construction of railroads
or other internal improvements as unnecessary,
beyond the scope of Federal power, and inevi-
tably producing corruption. Resolved, That
we congratulate the whole people of this State
that. notwithstanding the suffering to which the
laboring classes have been for years subjected,
in spite Of their failure to obtain remunerative
employment, and the bitter privations which
have been imposed upon them thereby, they
have endured these calamities for the most
part with patience, without disorder or vio-
it il through the benefcent operation Of equal
and just laws, favoring no one class at the ex-
pensc of another, q stern refusal on the part of
legislative bodies to yield to the schemes of
graspng monopolies and the decrease Of pub
lie expenditures and taxation to the lowest
practicable point-that the laboring classes of
the country with whom the Democratic party
has always strongly and intelligently sympa-
thized), are mainly to find effectual and per-
manent relief. Resolved, That we favor uni
form and equitable excise law, having regard
for and protective of the rights of all the people,
accompanied by stringent provisions Furnishing
its violation. Resolved, That we demand more
complete protection for the savings of the IN
dustrial classes by the stricter supervision and
control of savings banks, insurance companies,
and other institutions in which the peoples
money may be invested, and the enactment
of laws providing severe and certain punish
ment of all official neglect, extravaganza or
fraud by which the peoples earnings may be
endangered or lost Resolved, That the de-
liberate refusal of the Republican majority in
the State Legislature, during two sessions, in
open defiance Of the plainest and most perem-
tory mandates of the Constitution, to apportion
the representation Of the people of the State
in the Senate and Assembly in accordance
with the census, is a reckless disregard of duty,
hitherto without precedent in our history, and
aims q blow at the very root and foundation of
representative government. The final clause
of the platform pledges the New York Demo
cracy to follow the chief magistrate in canal
and other reforms and in reducing the State
tax, and points with pride to the administra-
tions O. Governors Tilden and Robinson.
The Wellfeet Savings Bank, of Cape Cod,
Mass, suspended payment owing to a run on
