THE PLATFORM.
Resolced, That the Republican party of
New York has no new doctrine to present
upon the questions; which heretofore occu-
pied much public attention. such as hon
est money, pure elections, the regulation
of traffic in intoxicating liquors, the pro-
lection of home industry and the necessity
of restricting the power and influence of
corporations. 1t is content to be judged
by its past declarations and acts.
Resolved, That equitable taxation. reach
ing corporations as we'll as persons, is APP
proved as the correct system which should
be perfected; that the practical results of
recent legislation upon the subject fully
justify the action of the Republican party
in its adoption.
RESOLVED, That monopolies expressing
the people, or unfairly discriminating
against local interests, are wrong in prin-
ciple and should not be tolerated.
Resolved, That stringent legislation
should be enacted to secure purity and
honesty in primary elections, and that all
possible safeguards should be thrown
about these sources of the political action
of the people.
Resolved, That the practice of appealing
to the legislature to override the action of
local authorities, when combining them
selves within the powers conferred upon
them, should be discouraged, both by the
legislature and governor, and should be
resorted to only in extreme cases.
RESOLVED, That changes in the fundamen-
tai law should not ordinarily be the subject
of party action, but they should, when pro-
posed, always be carefully scrutinized by
the people,who should signify their wishes
with reference to them as generally as they
do in the selection of their representatives.
We therefore urge the people of the
state, without reference to party,to examine
with intelligent care the constitutional
amendments submitted to them, and to
give full expression at the polls to their
Judgment and wishes thereon.
RESOLVED, That while there are varying
opinions on the subject of the sale of
liquors, we subscribe to the principle that
propositions for change in the funda-
mental law ought to be submitted to a
popular vote.
RESOLVED, That the conduct of the Dem
ocracy in this state during this year anew
and emphatically attest their signal I'M
worthiness of public confidence. They
signalized their return to power in the
Legislature by wantonly sacrificing public
interests upon the altar of greedy and
reckless craftsmanship. A party which
could devote nearly two months to quar-
rel of its factions for the spoils, but could
give no time to the equalization of tax
alton and to other questions vitality affect
the welfare of our people, insults the in
teliigence of the electors of New York
when they ask them to approve its fragrant
abuse of legislative powers by handing
over to it the executive branch of the state
government.
Resolved, That the financial achievements
ofthe administration are next in importance
to its work of the preservation of the ma
ton itself, as attested by the rapid liqui-
dation of the great public debt incurred to
meet the national emergency and reduc-
ton of the rate of interest to its present
low figure, and that it is policy of the par
ty to bring taxation within the lowest prac-
teal limit, and by the strictest system re-
duec the government expense and number
of those employed in the collection of the
revenues thus relieving the people of all
unnecessary burdens.
RESOLVED, That the civil service should
be placed upon proper basis by adequate
legislation, so as to give facilities for the
execution of the law upon the statute book
with a comparative test for admission to
the service so arranged as to secure the
necessary qualifications for the position,
together with fixed term for the incum-
bent, removal from Office during the term
of appointment to be only for cause.
Resolred, That the recent law of con-
gress designed to suppress polygamy,
which offends the moral sense of mankind
and prevents the administering of justice
through the usual instrumentalities of law.
approves itself to the people, and that
it should be supplemented by such laws as
are necessary to attain the object in view.
Resolred, That the economy and efficien-
cy of the present Republican state admin
istration entities its members to the high
est praise. Gov. Cernelrs fearless and
firm exercise of the veto power, while it
has naturally brought down upon him hos
tile criticism. has shown his determination
to protect the interests of the state and
people against individuals and corpora
tons.
Resolred. That we tender President
Chester A. Arthur our assurance of conf
dence in his administration. and our ap-
proval of the wise and patriotic
course pursued by him under
the embarrassing circumstances of
his accession to office; his
courage in resisting the enactment of
the river and harbor bill, which violated
