advances as Caesar, with the Democracy at hi
heels. Neither in Congress or the country will
or can our opponents stem the rising tide OF

Senator Conkling spoke of the schemes to
take money from the treasury In staggering
totals and the grievances and projects to be
presented. When full sway in Congress il
given to the party, the sentiment which nov
rules the ''Solid South South made solid by
minorities dominating through crimes against
God and man. That solid South again, as OF
old, sends up majority of all the Democratic
votes in Congress-. 1t rules the Democratic
caucus, and must decide the party action
whenever it insists. In the House OF REPRE-.
sentatives there are forty committees, and
1 already the chairman of twenty-three OF them
are ex-confederates from the South. After
next March the South will control the COM
mittees of the Senate also. 1 am for con:
Citation, and reconciliation, and concord, and
peace all around, bat my belief is that the
men and communities who stood by the hag
and prayed for it, and fought for it, if they
behave themselves. are Just as good as those
who drenched the land with blood and covered

pestilence smites Southern homes, let the North
pour out as she now does money and sympathy,
never holding back a farthing because it is
Southern; not Northern, woe. This is right:
But when taking political action let us be just,
not only to ourselves, but to the black or white

Senator ConkIng spoke of the disbanding OF
the Republican party in the Southern States,
and thus closed: ''There are matters about
which the Republicans differ, differ widely and
| earnestly. These differences do not concern
| issues which deserve attention now. 1t is not
the right of any man or group of men to dl-
vert the Republicans of New York from quea-
tions which urge themselves upon us. Let all
mon, of whatever party, see the danger around
| ed cause to avert them. Let our motto be; In
essentials, unity-ln non essentials, liberty
in all things. charity"
Mr.. Conkling having concluded, the usual
committees were appointed and recess taken.
THE PLATFORM.
The following platform was unanimously
adopted:
The Republicans of New York. appealing to
the struggles and triumphs as proof of Repub-
lican patriotism and fidelity, and meeting the
high demands of the hour in the same unfal-
tering spirit which saved he Union and estab-
lished it on firm roundatlon CT freedom,
make the following declarations:
First-The faith Of tho nation is directly
pledged to the payment of the public debt and
the redemption of the public promises accord
ing to the spirit and letter of the engagement,
and our good name and well being require that
the national h2nor snaiA DO hep' do ihv1'ia'e AA
the nations lits IS sG,l .
Second-Under the management OF succeed
ING Republican administrations the country
has advanced to the point of specie resumption,
and the highest interests of Business no less
than the pledged faith Of the republic demand
that there shall be no step backwards and no
postponemeht: With this steady progress we hail
the suspicious signs of reviving trade and in
I &l,n
practical evidence that if the good work shall
be completed, the depression which grew out
of the financial condition forced upon us by
the war of the rebellion, will give solace to re-
turning confidence, and permanent prosperity
which can rest alone on the fixed money stand
ard of the commercial world, aud certainty for
the future.
Understanding unalterably for the consti-
tutional principles of hard money, we insist
that the greenback, instead of being dishon-
ored and depreciMted, shall be mado as good as
honest coin; that the laborer's dollar shall
mean real dollar; that the uncertainties
which rob toll and paralyze trade shall cease;
that our currency shall be made the best cur
rency by making all parts of it, whether paper
or coin, equivalent, convertible, secure and
seady and all public servants, who, whether
executive officers, Senators or Representatives.
whose acts or votes conduce to this high object,
deserve our appreciation.
and honorable mode of settling dangerous
dispute, all parties were bound to abide its
decision. and any attempt to undo or impair
the conclusion it established is unpatriotic and
! revolutionary.
Fifth-While sincerely seeking fraternal re-
summon the people to renewed vigilance and
unhinching warfare against the vast hordes OF
! claims and raids on the treasury, which count
| for success on Democratic rule under the mas

with special hardship on New York as the chief
tax paying State in the union.
Sixth-We demand free and unlimited cleo
| tions in the South as in the North, and Il full
| recognition ana observance of the equal
| rights and liberty of all citizens, ordered by
| the amended constitution, and until they shall
be secured the work Of the Republican party
to protect human rights will be unfinished.
| Seventh-We renew our declarations for the
elevation of the public service on the basis OF
secure tenure during the faithful performance
of official duties for fixed term; for pure,
| frugal and efficient administration of affairs,
and for unyielding resistance to any further
land grants or subsidies to corporations OF
monopolies; for grateful recognition of the
brave soldiers and sailors of the republic, and
| for common schools free from sectarian in.

Eighth-While recognizing with satisfaction
that many patriotic Democrats do not share it,
spirit and impulses, we arraign the dominant
forces of the Democratic party as constan
as wanton foe of the public security IN 1T
persistent assaults upon the authority and sta
bility of the established government; as at

the army in time of uncertainty and danger
as guilty of false pretences il
