DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
The Democratic party of tho State Of New York. in

important consequences depending upon the imme-
date result Of their deliberations, do declare and
assert the principles of popular liberty and rights
laid down by Washington Jefferson and other found
of the republic.
Wo hold to the constitution with all its amend
nents sacredty maintained and enforced, and to the
rights of the States under the constitution The ten
denotes of tho Republican party to centrai1atoD and
consolidation contrary to the principles of our in
atutions. Ths United States form nation In the
sanse. 10 the extent and for tho purposes defined in
the federal constitution, and resist every attempt
to transform it into an empire.
We insist on unity, fra erny and concord, and
hl the issues settled by the shall not BIO revived.
We dsprecate the efforts of the Republican mana
gers 10 revive sectional feuds and to rekinde the pas
'ions of the past.
We demand honest elections aud an honest count
Of votes. Never again by fraud or force shall the
popuaSwill be set aside, to crafty INSCRIPTIONS

ing people, whom all other governments oppose and
c ush. The rights of the people should be scrupu-
lousy guarded from the encroachments of capital
and the despotic greed of corporations
Tho Democracy believe now, as they have always
he ieved. in gold and silver the constitutional
money Of tlie country. We condemn the speculative
methods of the present secretary Of the treasury and
The questionable favoritlsm he has shown to particu
lar monetary institutions, so called syndcates aud
the extravaganza he has permitted in his depart ent
in connection with his refuuding schemes
We look with shame and sorrow on the dis9racefu
reputation of their professions of civil service
form by the executive and his supporters. Federal
Offices have boon freely given for despicabIe parti
services. Leading officers of the government arc
making partisan speeches, managing political cam
r.gns, and requiring their subordinates to contrib
utH to campaign funds, In dcrogation of every prin
ciple and promise Of honest civil service. The
hundred and four thousand federal officers constitute
an army, moving under one single direction, to keep
up the party in power and this vast patronage
used as corruption fund against the people.
We congratulate the yeopls of the State Of New
York the results of the Democratic administra-
ton in the payment of the State debt, the reduction
of expenses, and the diminished burden of taxation.
We condemn the efforts OF demagogues to create
York and the st of the State when their interests
are identical The growth Of the one is the iros-
perity of the other.
The people of New York favor manufacturers and
advantages which accrue to them from their favor
able position, and that the railroads they have char
eses, shall DO operated for their benefit and not for
their ruin.
The Democratic officers of the State of New York,
by the ability and fidelity which they have discharged
their duty during the past three years; by their con-
scentous application of constitutional tests to the
act of every department of the State government !;
by their successful, resistance to private and partial
legislation and by their economical conduct Of the
finances and reduction of expenses Of the State gov
crnment have entitled themselves to the gratitude Of
their fellow citizens of all parties.

from such competition.
Ninth Municipal self government in local affairs
Tenth-Tnat the successful efforts of our Demo.
cratic representatives in Congress in :estoring fair
and intelligent jury system, and in protecting the

ecutive in vetong legislation designed to prevent the
presence of armed soldiers and the employment OF
paid supervisors and marshals at the polls, and the
use OF pubic funds for this purpose, Is denounced
by the Democracy of the State of New York.
