Thomas G. Benedict, of Ulster county,
was made permanent chairman.
It was noticeable fact that
John Kelly was the only delegate
cheered on entering the hall. Daniel
Manning chairman of the state commit
tee called the convention to order and pre-.
sented the name of Alfred G. Chaplin as
temporary chairman. In accepting Mr..
Chaplin in a very nervous manner address
ed the convention expressing his thanks
for the honor. His remarks were mainly
devoted to state affairs. He spoke in high
est terms of the administration of Govern
or Cleveland. His speech was listened to
with great attention and only interrupted
when the name of Governor Cleveland was
mentioned, then the delegates aplauded,
the Tammany and Irving hall men re-
naming silent. In the roll call when the
name of Samuel j. Tilden Jr., was reach
ed the convention greeted it with long con-
tinued applause.
The committee on resolutio ms made the
following report, and it was unanimously
adopted:
The Democracy of New York reafirns
the platform adopted at its last state con-
vention, which has received the approval
of the people, as shown by majority of
nearly 100000 at the last election, and they
especially denounce the proposition that
the people should be taxed to raise surplus
funds for the federal government to dis
tribute among the states.
We claim, with satisfaction, that
every pledge therein made has been
in good faith redeemed, valuable
reforms have been wrought, useless offices
have been abolished, the civil service has
been freed from the debasing and injur-
ious influences of partisan manipulation,
the free dom and purity of the primaries
have been secured, political assessments
have been abolished, receivership abuses
have been corrected, the principles of local
self-government have been adhered to, the
efficiency of the National guard has been
increased, taxation for the support of the
government has been reduced, state bu-
reau of labor statistics has been estab-
list ed, the rights of workingmen have been
further protected and the injurious com
petition of convict labor has been curtail-
ed, and business methods have been the
rule in the management of state affairs.
On the record thus made, and to which it
will steadfastly adhere, the Democratic
party asks renewal of the reward of the
confidence of the people.
We invite with reason all friends of inn
proved state administration, irrespective
of party, to join with the Democracy in
and perfecting the reforms in
progress and in extending them to all
branches of the state service.
We heartily endorse Gov. Cleveland's
administration. 1t justifes the great vote
which elected him.. He has deservedly won
the affection of the people by his industry,
frmness and intelligence, and aggressive
honesty. The results made his administra-
tion one Of the best the state ever had.
