NEW YORK, October 7th.-Folowing is
the balance OF the resolutions adopted by the
Republican State Convention
We respectfully offer to the venerable
mother, the devoted wife and the bereaved
children of our late President the assurance
of our deep and tender sympathy IN sorrow
which only Divine power can console, but
which has all the alleviation that the spotless
memory of the dead, the fearful gratitude of
the country and the sincere grief of tee world
can afford.
Second-ResoJred, That we have entire con-
fidence in the ability, integrity and patriotic
intentions of Chester A. Arthur, President of
the United States; thas his lifelong record
has given earnest of his fidelity ard devotion
to the cause and principles of tie Republican
party, and believing that he viii carry out
the intentions expressed by him in his inaugu-
ration address, that his Administration will
be in line with that of his lamented preds-
cessor, in accord with the clearly defined
principles and policy of the Republican party
and in harmony with the just expectation of
those who gave him their sutfrages for the
high and responsible Office to which he was
elected, we tender TO him our entire conf
dence and cordial support. His manly bear
lag and sympathetic acts in the time of orr
national affiiction command cur respect a
admiration.
Third-Resoyged, That the triumphg Of the
Republican management Of the national
finances are being constantly maintained, az
shown by the payment of more than seven
teen millions of dollers of the public debt
during the month of September, and by the
reduction Of the annual interest to less than
sixty-two millions, while the surplus reve-
nues Justify the reduction OF taxation at an
early day, and this duty Congress should ap-
proach with due regard to the protection Of
American industry, and with the aim to re-
duce the number of taxgatherers and remove
the occasion for offensive and costly litiga-
tion.
Fourth-Resolgcd, That those who con-
spire to defraud the Government are the
worst ene1iies of the party to which they
belong, and the Republican party has among
its strongest claims to populsr gratitude the
| war which it has waged against the corruption
which grew out OF The expenditures conse-
quent on the rebellion. The punishment
which il has meted TO dishonest cficisls, of
whatever rank, and its persistent vigor in
favor of economic and honest administration,
and the rebuke and prosecution of abuses con-
nscted with the star routes in the Postothce
! Department, redound to President Garfield,
and in pressing to full satisfaction of justice,
| President Arthur may be assured Of the
hearty approval of the people.
Fifth-ResotUed, That we pledge President
Arthur our earnest support III every effort
| for the enforcement of civil service reform,
recognizing as we do the fact that abuses in
connection with the dispensation of official
| patronage may be elars ely Eliminated, If
not wholly removed, by wise and
practicable me hodS of admir- istration.
Sixth-Resoteed, That the wisdom, pru--
dence and economy shown by Governor
Alonzo B. Cornell during his administration
of the affairs of State, entitle him to the
thanks and gratitude of the people. His
careful scrutiny of legislation, his judicious
exercise of the veto power, his persistent eR.
forcement of the principles of retrenchment,
and his fearless discharge of the duties of his
office have, in the development of the best
qualities of practical craftsmanship, Vindi-
Gated the wisdom of mis- election.
Seventh-Resolved, That as the Republican
party has always been identified with what
ever was deemed essential to the maintenance
of the commercial supremacy of the State,
we are in favor of submitting to the people
tha ounStion Of pakinO rlaig uractIcl iIIy
free.
Eiehth-Resolced, That we are in favor OF
an equitable taxation that will reach corpo-
rations as well as individuals and that we
are opposed to all monopolies that oppress
the people or unfairly discriminate against
local interests.
The resolution upon free canals was
adopted separately, and then all were
adopted.
