SARATOGA. Sept. 26.-Aftsr Senator

was adopted
The Republicans OF New York. ap..
pealing to twenty years OF struggles and
triumphs al proof Of Republican patriot
ism and fidelity, and meeting the high
demands OF the hour In the same unfal.
tering spirit which saved the Union md
established II on . firm foundation OF
freedom, make the following declara'
ton /: That the faith Of the nation 10
sacredly pledged to the payment OF the
public debt and the redemption Of pub.
Inc promises according TO the spirit n
letter OF the engagement. and our good
name and well being require that the
nations honor shall be kept a. ~inviolate
a. the nations life. Under the manage
msnt OF the succeeding Republican Ad.
ministrations the country has advanced
to the point OF specie resumption. and
the highest interest OF business-the
plighted faith Of the Republic-demand
that there shall be no step backward and
NO postponement. With this steady pro-
gress We hail the suspicious signs OF re-
viving trade and industry. and congrat.
ulats the people upon this practical sd.
vance. and that II the good work shall
be completed the depression which grew
out Of the financial disorders forced
upon us by the war OF the rebellion will
give place to returning confidence and
permanent prosperity. which can rest
alone on the fixed monetary standard OF
the world. and ON settled values and
full security and certainty for the fu.
turs. Standing unsltsrably for the con.
stitutional principles OF hard money.
We insist that the grsenback. instead
OF being dishonored and deprecisted.
shall be made o. good ~ honest coin;
that the laborer's dollar shall mean .
real dollar; that the uncertainties which
rob toll and paralyzs trade shall cease;
that our currency shall be made the best
currency. by making all parts OF II.
whether paper or coin. equivalent. con-
vsrtible. secure and steady; and all pub.
lie servants. whether executive officers.
Senators or Representatives, whose acts
or votes conduce to this high object
deserve our appreciation. While sincere
ly seeking fratsrnal relations In all just
efforts and aspirations. vi summon the
people to renewed vigilencs and I'M.
fipching warfare against the vast hordss
Of claims and raids on the Treasury.
which count for success OF Democratic
rule under the mastery OF q 'solid
South" and which would fall with
special hardship ON New York a. the
chief taIpaying State In the Union; we
demand Tree aud unintimidated elections
In the South IA In the North. and the
full recognition and observance Of equal
rights and liberty Of all citizens as
ordained by the amended Constitution;
we renew our declarations for the eleva-
ton OF the public service ON tho basis OF
q secure tenure during the faithful per.
Torrance Of official duties for a dIsd
term. While recognizing with satisfae.
ton that many patriotic Democrats do
not share its spirit aud impulses. we
arraign the dominant forces OF the
Democratic party as constant disturbers
Of public tranquility and peace; AZ the
wanton foe OF public security In Its per.
sistsnt assaults upon the authority and
stability OF the established Government;
as attempting to weaken the nation by
crippling the army in time OF uncer-
tainty and danger; a. guilty OF false pre-
lenses In claiming for the Democratic
House q reduction In public expenditures.
whose fraudulent character IL proved
by the necessity for heavy deficiency
bills; as dependent on u solid South.
and thereby subssrvient to oil its
demands; as aggravating the troubles
Of the country by mischisvous
agitation throughout the period OF
its supremacy In the House OF
Representatives; as faithless TO the
obligations Of the national honor. and
the chief supporter Of the wild schemes
Of imitation, population and utter imam
cial disorders which imperil public credit
and business security; and Its further or
greater success would be o national ca
lamity- an emergency in the history OF
the country second only 10 the great
struggle for its existence now confronts
US as then; the Republican party was
then the sole organized political protec.
ton against national disruption. aud
patriotic citizens Of whatever party name
rallied under its standard for the defense
Of the Union; 30 now, the Republican
organization is the only efficient bulwark
against national reputation and dis
grace, and IL again invites all good citi-
zens Of whatever previous political ties
to unite with 1t in preserving national
honor; that tho Electoral Commission
was q wise and honorable mode Of set.
Ting u dangerous dispute; oil parties
were bound to abide its decision, and
any attempt to undo OF impair the con.
clnsion It established 10 unpatriotic and
revolutionary.

greeted with applause and loud calls to

received with hearty greeting. He said
