NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
A Saratoga dispatch of September
Goth says the republican state
convention organized, to-day, with
Roscoe Conkling as temporary chair
man and permanent president. The
senator, after acknowledging hearty
greeting, made 81 somewhat extended
speech, after which the usual commit
tees were appointed and recess taken.
Upon reassembling the following
platform was unanimously adopted:
First. The word of the nation is sacredly
pledged to the payment of the public debt and
The redemption of public promises according to
the pirit and letter of the engagement and our
good name and well being require that the ma
tons honor shall be kept as inyiolate as ma
TONS life.
Second. Under the management of succeed
ing republican, administrations, the country has
advanced 10 the point OF specie resumption, and
the highest interests OF business, no less tan the
plighted faith OF the republic, demand that there
shall be step backward and no postponement
of this steady progress
Third. Standing unulterably for the constitu-
tiOnal principles of hard money, we insist that
the green back, instead of being diShOnored and
deprecated, shall be make as good as honest
com, that the laborer's dollars shall mean real
dollar.
Fifth While sincerely seeking frateInal re-
lations in all just efforts and aspirations, we
summon the people to renewed vigilance and un-
ali q hOrnpS claims
and raids on the treasury, which count for sue
cession of democratic rule under the mastery Of a
solid south and which would fail with special
hardship on New York, as the chief taX-paylng
state in the union.
Sixth-We demand a free and unntimidated
election in the south as III the north end the full
recognition and observances Of the equal right
and liberty Of all citizens as ordained by the
amended constitution.
Seventh-We renew our declarations OF the
elevation Of the public service on a bases of a Sc
cure tenure during the faithful performance OF
official duties for a fixed term; for the unyeldng
resistance to any further land grants or subsidies
to corporations Or monopoles; for the common
schools free from seCtaran influence, and unmen-
aced by sectarian appropriations.
EiGth-While recognizing with satisfaction
that many patriotic democrats do not share its
spirit and impulses we arrange the dominant spirit
of the democratic party as constant dSturber or
the public tranquility and peace; as a foe to the
public security in its persistent assm4tS upon the
authority and stability OF the established govern
ment: as attempting to weaken the nation by
crppiing the army in time Of uncertainty ana
danger; as guilty of false pretenss in claiming
for the democratic house q reduction in public
penditures whose fraudulent character is proved
by necessity for heavy deficiency bills.
Geo T. Danforth was nominated
Judge of the court Of appeals, and the
convention adjourned sine die.

The democratic party, in sustaining throughput
its entire history, the great principle of quail
and exact justice to all men, has ever bee the
truest friend Of the laboring classes. We deland
the overthrow Of monopoles and The enacmen
and execution of such laws shall prOtec the
rights Of labor as well as those Of capital not
discriminating against either, but framed fo the
mutual benefit Of both. That as the process for
collection of debts known as 'TruStee process"
operates with especial severity upon the labGing
classes, we therefore demand the passage OF a
law exempting wages of laborers from attach
ment. That the platform here adopted and he
candidates here nominated are in alliance with
the national democratic party. and tho pretelse
that any candidates nominated by any otter
