The Chairman declared Lucius Robin
soa 10 be tie nominee for Governor.
| LCheers.1
Mr.. Cowan moved that the nomination
| be made unanimous; which was carried
with but two or three objections.
The following platform was presented
| and adopted:
The Democratic party of the State of
New \ FORK, in convention assembled, pro-
foundly sensible of the important eonse-
quences depending upon the immediate re-
suits Of their deliberations, DO declare and
reassert the principles OF popular liberty
snd rights laid down by Washington, JET
ferson and other founders OF the republic.
We hold TO the constitution with all its
| amendments sscrediy maintained and en-
| forced, ard the rights OF the States under
the constitution The tendencies of the
Republican party to Capitalization and con-
solidation are contrary to the principles Of
Cur institution. The United States form a
nation IN the sense to the extent and Tor
the purpose declared IN the Federal consti-
tuition, and We resist every attempt TO trans
form it into an empire.
We insist upon unity, fraternity and
concord and that the issues settled by the
war shall not be revived. We depreciate
the efforts of the Republican managers 10
revive sectional feuds and to rekindie the
passions OF the past.
We demand honest elections ard an
honest count of the votes. Never syain
| by fraud or force shall The popular will
| be sc. aside to gra,ify interruptions parti-
sans.
The Democracy oppose all fayoritism.
| Not a single interest or class of persons
should he protected az the expense of
Others. Democracy means government
| of the whole people, for the whole people
| and by the whole people; but if aay class
il to receive special consideration, it should
be the working people, whom all other
governments oppose ard crush. The rights
Of the people should be scrupulously
guarded from the entertainments of capital
ard the despotic greed Of CORPORATIONS.
| The Democracy believe now, AZ thew
have ALWAYS believed, in gold aud silver
| 81 the constitutional money of the country.
| We condemn the speculative method Of the
| present secretary of the treasury SID the
Questionable favoritism he has shown TO
particular monetary institutions. 40 called
| syndicates, and the extravaganza he has
permitted in his department in connecti IN
with his rounding schemes.
| We look with shame and horror upon
| the disgraceful repudiation OF their profes-
| sions of civil service reform by the ExecU-
| tive and his supporters. Federal otlces
| have been freely given for despicable par
| tissn services. Lesding officers Of the gov
eminent are making partisan speeches,
| managing political campaigns and requir-
| ing their subordinates to contribute to
campaign funds, in derogstion of every
priuciple and promise of honest civil ser
vice. The one hundred and four thousand
| federal officers constitute an army moving
under single direction to keep the Rspub-
| lican party in power: and this vast pat
rouage il now used As q corruption fund
| against the peopIe.
We congratulate the people of the State
Of New York on the result of the Demo-
| cratic administration in the payment of
the State debt. the reduction OF expenses
and the dimini.hed burden of taxation.
We condemn the efforts Of demagcgues
to create jealousy ard sutagouism between
the city of New York and the rest of the
State, when their interests are identical:
| The growth OF the one IL the prosperity OF
the other.
