THE PLATFORM.

The Democratic party of New-York again de-
clares its fidelity TO the principles set forth by the
New-YOTk State Democratic Conventions of 1874,
1875 and 1876, which were thrice approved al the
ballot boxes by the people of the Empire State and
were yindicated by the wise administration of the
Democratic State Executives then chosen, and TO
the principles set forth by the National Democratic
Convention at st. Louis, which were approved by
decisive popular and electoral majOr1ticS IN the
Presidential election OF 1876 The victories then
won III this State and in the United States were in
the name aud for the sake OF reform. The people
were defTauded OF the fruits OF victory in the
Federal elections by the false count Of the electoral
votes III 1876 and tagrant corruption in the cleo
ton Of 1850. Reform throughout the Federal adj
ministraton is still necessity. The continuing
disclosures of new aud hitherto concealed
plundering of the peoples fund by
inner rings in the Treasury, the Post Office,
and the Interior departments demonstrate that re-
form is now more than ever necessity. Ii remains
for the National Democratic party 10 restore the
Federal Government to the fraternal spirit, the
stitutIonal principles the frugal expenditure and
the administrative purity OF the fathers OF the he
public. 1t remains likewise Tor the democracy OF
the State of New-York and ii Is their first political
duty to resume and carry TO a successful compile
ton In all departments OF Its government the
great measures and policy of administrative reform
which between 1874 aud 1875 reduced by One-halt
the burden of our State taxation, and which then
and during the three succeeding years established
throughout the Executive departments vigor, econ
omy and hdelity to public trusts. To that immediate
duty this Convention pledges the united efforts of
the Democracy of New York and the loyal devotion
of the nominees whom shall commend TO the choi ce
of their tellow-citizens.
The assassination of the late President of the
United states crime against authority against
free institutions and against humanity. We deplore
and denounce the crime IN all Its public and private
aspects We extend, as citizens, our most profound
coincidence to the family OF the murdered Chief
MAGISTRATE and regard with great qualification the
universal expressions OF sympathy extended by all
natl Dps and peoples.
We renew tine expression Of our demand for the re-
funding of the National debt at the lowest possible
rate ofinterest. The New-York Democracy, as al
ways stand by gold and silver as the loyal tender of

can County of Jefferson and admits loss OF one In
the Democratic County OF Henry.
CINCINNATI, Oct PA special dispatch from
Columbus to The Tmcs-Star says that the Democrats

hoped that the Senate would he Democratic expect"
ing to have three members from Hamilton County;
but as this hope fails it is conceded that the Legis-
ature will lee Republican in both branches;
he best returns from go pr cincts of Hamilton
County with 10 precincts Ia hear from, show that
nine ont of the ten members elected To the state

DEs MONIES Iowa, Oct 12.-Additional returns
received to-day by The State Register give partial
reports from thirty-nine counties, from which the
Republican plurality is estimated to be $4,000 and
the majority $4,000. From the same returns it is
estimated that the Republicans will have majority
of 10 in the Legislature. The Democrats do not
concede all these figures. The severe storm which
prevailed all the State yesterday afternoon
and evening so disarranged the telegraphic service
that but very meagre returns have been thus lar re-
ceived. There have been fewer Republican losses
in the Legislature account of the prohlbltory
amendment than were expected.
CHICAGO Oct ia special dispatch to The
Erening Journal from Des Moines. Iowa, says:
"Wth decrease OF 1000 votes and no cam
paign Iowa gives Sherman, of Shiloh, 10000 ma
iority and elects Republican Representative in
Webster County for the first time IN twelve years
The entire Republican ticket was elected In tins

and Greenbackers."

Hamilton County have been heard from and fifty
more remain to be heard from. Fosters majority
thus far is / 800. Nicholas Longworth, Republican
candidate for Supreme Court Judge, leads his
ticket by several hundred votes. The Republicans
elect nine out of ten candidates on the Legislative
ticket, and lose one-Robert Horton, the colored
man, in whose stead the Democrats elect General
A. +. Devereux. The Republicans elect two State
Senators and lose one-Walker NJ. Yeatman while
the Democrats probably elect George Z. Gault as
Senator The Republicans elect Connor and Max
well as Common Pleas Judges, and certainly lose
Cox and Crossley while the result for Buchwalter
is doubtful. The Democrats certainly elect Avery
as Common Pleas Judge, and probably MallOn and
Johnson. The Democrats elect Isaac B. Matson as
Probate Judge. Later returns from Hamilton
County are not likely to affect the result.
News comes from Butler County that the vote
full, and that the whole Democratic ticket was
elected by the usual majority.

didate for the House of Representatives, has 15o

vote to determine it. The Democrats elect the re-
mander Of the county ticket, including one Repre-
$50 which the Democrats claim for their candidate

sUMEs THE OFFICIAL POSITION - ELECTED
CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE COMMITTEE.
Br TELEGRAPH rRIBUSE.i
ALBANY Oct ia change took place in the
chairnanshIp of the Democratic State Committee
to-day when the new Committee met after the ad-
ournment of the Convention. Daniel Manning
superseded Lester b. Faulkner as chairman. Os-
tensibly this was Mr. Faulkner's proposition;
in reality the change brought about by the de-
mand of many members Of the committee for
change.
Mr. Faulkner is not popular, and there has been
a desire for slme time for new DEAL and 1t was
also felt that there incongruity in having Mr.
Manning the actual leader of the party organization
acting as secretary of the committee, while a
Younger man was chairman. To-day pressure was
brought to bear upon Mr.. Manning to Induce him to
accept the chairmansbip, b1t he demurred, and
resisted so long that the meeting Of the committee
was delayed an hour or more. Finally he consented
seeing that there would be a revolt against FaulI-
ner when the committee met One of those elabo-
rate comedies was rehearsed which politicians are
always playing for the fooling ~ OF the public. Mr.
Manning in a speech of compliment moved
the election of MI. Faulkner as chairman. Mr.
WI itney seconded it with further eulogy. Then
Mr. Faulkner declined in speech representing that
he had acted as chairman with reluctance and must
decline TO do so any more, nominating in return Mr.
Manning himself Mr.. Manning was therefore
elected. c. +. Brown made secretary, and

Crooked ADMINISTRATIONS.

New York, 26.-The Tunes has a
scathing editorial on the reactionary in
| huences at work IN the last adminisLra-
ton and under Garfield. During Hayes
term the treasury department WIS largely
| managed to all intents and purposes cor
ruptly, to further the political ambition
| Of the secretary. The pOstOffice depart
ment, where the old evils of political in
fuence, interference of congressman and
senators, debating traffic IN votes and
expenditures had full swing, develop d
the amazing and Illuminating STAR route
scandals which are now being exposed.
The chief executive, at whose hanGs the
Constitution places the great body of APP
pointments, and VINO could st any m -
ment haze dismissed cabinet officers who
refused or neglected to carry out his
views, in effect abdicated his Office for
the benefit of men who, whether selishly
and in violation of public interest or not,
shaped appointments with little refer
ence to the principles that had been dis
tinctly Announced by their superior.
There was sound administration in one
department only, because the head of
that department was loyal TO
the President himself Garfield, en-
terinR on his work with pro-
fessedly elevated standard, bids fair
to fall even further below that standard
than Hayes did below his. The one de-
psrtment which, under Hayes, wss dis
tiHguished for its thorough application of
the principles of sound administrator,
has been turned over to the politicians
The new secretary of the interior seems
to have re-established the most vicious,
wasteiul and demoralizing method of the
old system He mas abandoned compe-
titive examinations, and the examination
which he has os!ensibly substituted for
them is in fact farcicaL. New md in
competent men are put over The ads OF
men of tried and proved capacity, often
at higher salaries. The handspring of
discipline and efficiency, namely, the
certainty that merit, and M it only,
would secure advancement, is broken.
The best men among subordinstes are
naturally disguised and discouraged.
