Erastus Brooks, from the committee on reso-
lutions, reported the following platform:
The Democratic party Of the state OF
New York, IN convention assembled, pro-
depending upon the immediate result OF their
deliberations, DO declare and reassert the pr1n-
ciples Of popular liberty and rights laid down
efs OF the republic. We hold to the constitu-
ton, with all its amendments sacredly MAIN
tained and enforced, and to the rights OF the
states under the constitution. The tendencies
OF the republican party to Capitalization and
consolidation are contrary to the principles OF
our institutions. The United States form ma
ton In the sense. to the extent. and for the pur-
we resist every attempt to transform 1t into an
empire. We insist on unity, fraternity and con-
cord, and that the issues settled by the war
OF the republican managers to revive sectional
feuds and to rekindle the passions OF the past
We demand honest elections and an honest
or force, shall the popular win Be set aside to
crafty unscrupulOus parttsans. The democ-
racy oppose all favOritism. No single interest
expense Of others. Democracy means the gov
ernment OF the whole people, for the whole
people, and by the whole people; but II any
class is to receive special consideration should
ernments oppose and crush The rights OF the
people should be scrupulously protected from

believe now, as they have always believed, In
gold and silver as the constitutional money OF
the country: we condemn the speculative
ury; the questionable favoritism he has shown
to particular monetary institutions or So
called ''syndicates," and the extravaganza he
has permitted In his department In connection
with his refunding schemes. We look with
shame and sorrow on the disgraceful repudia-
ton OF all the professions OF civil service re-
Federal offices have been freely reel T given Tor des-
picable partizan services; leading onicers of the
government are making partiZan speeches, man

In power, and this vast patronage is now used
as corruption fund against the people. We
congratulate the people Of New York on the
payment of the state debt, the reduction OF
expenses and the diminished burden OF taxa

when their interests are Identical, and the
growth Of the one is the prosperity Of the other.
turers and merchants alike-demand that
they shall have all the advantages which
accrue to them from their favorable posi-
ton, and that the railroads they have
chartered and endowed with vast and pro1t-
able privileges shall be operated for their benett
and not for their ruin. We therefore endorse
the following: The democratic Officers OF the
state OF New York, by the ability and fidelity
In which they have discharged their duty dur
Ing the past three years, by their conscientious

their successful resistance to private and par
