TIE PLATFORM:
RESOLVED, That the republican party
Of New York has no new doctrine to
present on questions which have hereto
fore occupied much public attention,
such rs honest money, pure election, the
regulation Of the traffic on intoxicating
liquors, Iprotection of home industry and
the necessity for restricting the power
and influence of corporations in this con-
test to be judged by its past declarations
and acts.
RESOLVED, That equitable taxation
reaching corporations as we'll as persons,
is approved as the correct system which
should be made practical. The results
of the recent legislation upon the subject
fully justify the action of the republican
party in its adoption.
ReSoLUed, That monopolies depressing
the people or unfairly discriminating
against local interests, is wrong in prin-
eipal and should not be tolerated.
RESOLVED, That stringent legislation
should be enacted to secure purity and
honesty in primary elections, and all
possible safeguards should be thrown
about these sources Of political action OF
the people.
ReSoLved, That the practice of appeal
ing to the legislature to override the &C.
ton Of local authorities, when combining
themselves within the powers conferred
upon them, should be discouraged both
by the legislature and governor, and
should be resorted 10 only in extreme
cases.
Resolved, That changes in the funda-
mental law should not ordinarily be the
subject of party action, but they should,
when proposed, always be carefully
serutinized by the people, who should
signify their wishes with reference to
them as generally as they do in their
selection Of their representatives. We
therefore urge the people Of the state,
without reference to party, to examine
with intelligent care constitutional
amendments submitted to them.
RESOLVED, That while there are varying
opinions on the subject of liquors. all
to the principal proposition on
that subject like all other propositions
for 6 change in the fundamental law
ought to be submitted to the popular
vote.
Re8oEVed, That the conduct of the
democracy in this state during this year,
enew and emphA!ic2lly attest the signal
Of public confidence which
signRlized their return to power in the
legislature.
RESOLVED, That the financial achieve
ment of the administration is next in
to its work of the preservation
Of the nation itself, as attested by the
,apid liquidation of the great public debt
incurred TO meet a national emergency
Ind by the reduction Of the rate interest
% its present low figure, AID that il is the
policy Of the party to bring taxation to q
most practicable limit, and by the
trictest Ssystem of economy reduce the
expense and number Of
hose employees in the collection Of the
revenue and thus relieve the public of all
burdens.
RESOLVED, That the public service should
be placed upon proper basis by adequate
so as to give facilities for the
execution Of the law now upon the
statute, with competitive test for Rdmis-
sion to service as to secure the necessary
qualification for position, together with
; fixed term for incumbents, and re-
moVsl from Office during the term Of APP
pointment only for cause.
ReSOlUed, That the recent law of Con-
gress designed to suppress polygamy,
which shocks the moral sense Of man
kind and prevents the administration of
justice through the usual instrumental
tiles Of law, approves itself to the
people; and that it should be supple
mented By such laws asmay be neces-
sary To attain the object in view.
The resolutions following this vera
eulogizes of the state administration,
Governor Cornell and the national sd-
ministration OF P-esiden! Arthur.
