SYRACUSE, Sept. 22.-The Tammany del
egates filed into the hall and were received
with cheers and few Kisses. The conven-
ton was called to order and the chatham
on contested seats reported that the COM
mittee recognized the county Democracy as
the regular delegation from New York city
but with a view to the success of the party
at the polls, and for the purpose of secur-
ing entire harmony, they recommend that
the New York representation be divided as
follows: County Democracy, SO; Tam
many, Ia, and Irving hall, 10 members
The report was unanimously adopted amid
great applause.
A resolution from the state committee
was adopted recommending that
future primary elections be
held by election districts for
the election of delegates to conventions
in the city of New York under the auspi-
ces and direction of the state committee,
until such time as the various factions of
that city may agree as to the proper mode
of the election of delegates.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton reported for permanent chairman
Lester B. Faulkner, who said on taking
the chair: Neither of the last two Dem
ocratic governors used their office for en-
richlng themselves or for a questionable
purpose of any nature. What is the rec
ord of the Republican administration of
this state? The Republicans have squan-
dered millions, have filled the public offices
with men whose aim is not to render eff
Gent the public service, but to use their
power for perpetuating the Republican
party
THE PLATFORM.
The following is the platform.
The Democracy of New York in con
vention assembled.
First-WHEREAs, The country is again
subjected by Republican mal-administra-
ton to the evils and abuses which affected
it in 1874, we reaffirm the principles of
of our platform of that year under which
the Republican party was driven from
power and the government of the state
brought back, for time, to the practice
of economy and honesty.
SecOnd-We arraign the Republican
majority in congress for its culpable failure
to reduce the amount of taxation to sum
sufficient only for the legitimate require
ments of the government under an honest
and frugul administration, and we favor
such tariff and fiscal reforms as shall re-
lleve an overtaxed people from all I'M
necessary burdens and prevent the accumu-
lation of fund to be lavished in profigate
legislation and in support of a horde of
less and idle placeman. In particular
we proclaim our condemnation of the
river and harbor bill in which, by the null
tiplication and mutual support of obnox-
ious provisions an Infamous measures pur-
chased its passage through congress in
disregard of the lemitations of the consti-
tuion in deprivation of public morals.
Third-In the nomination of the secre-
tary of the treasury for governor of New
York, by which in effect a candidate for
the chief magistracy of the state was APP
pointed by the president, we see a fresh
and impressive proof of the dangerous
power of political patronage, and urged
by this alarming spectacle, we protest
against federal Intervention in state cleo
tions, and repeat our demand of 1881 for
reform and publication of the civil SER
vice; and we are further admonished by
the recent experience of Republican cor
ruption, of the necessity of forbiddinc by
penal enactment the levying of blackmail
from dependent Office holders to promote
the interests of a party which finds no
support in the intelligent and independent
convictions of the people,
Fourth-We hold the present Republican
administration responsible for unredressed
| outrages on our foreign-born citizens. and
we demand for them when abroad the pro-
lection to which they are entitled in return
for their voluntary allegiance, and which
the honor of the American government
| requires shall be extended to them.
Fifth-We charge that in this state the
Republican party has lowered the standard
of the public service by its low admins
tration, and by the representatives it has
sent to the two houses of congress; that it
has made the state legislature the instru-
ment of the lobby to rob the public and
| enrich corporations, and has refused to
| its governor the denomination
which was due him by custom because he
dared to use his veto power to thwart such
purposes in disregard of those who sought
to control him by the use of political and
money power.
Si1th-We demand the restoration of
the New York state national guard to the
efficiency of which it has been deprived.
and which made it representative of the
soldierly spirit of the people.
Seventh-In order to restore our mer
chant marine to its former prosperity. we
| demand the immediate revision and
amendments to the laws relating to ship
ping and the carrying of ocean freights.
Eighth-We favor the adoption by the
next legislature of the resolution of 1882.
providing an amendment to the constitu-
ton for the local self-government of cities
Ninth--Primary elections openly and
honestly conducted afford the surest means
of securing the most suitable candidates
for public officers, thus best preserving the
democratic form of government. We
therefore favor the speedy passage of gen.
oral laws nrOyIdiDp araiDc4 frouI ,-d -
