prcHrrErD, Sept. 1.-THE following
"a the platform adopted by the Republic
- State Convention. The Republ cans
81 Nav York in State Convention hold
that the record of the Republican party

navmert of the public debt, reduction
n taxation, protection of hone indus
tries. elevation of labor, publication of
The civil service, and in fine an admin
stration policy based upon wise ieeisla
ten that has given uuexanpted pros
nerity 10 the country, and promoted tbs
happiness and progress of the people,
ara achievements that commend the
Republican party to continued popular
favor. We rejoice at the success Of
President Arthur's administration Of
the affairs of the Government. We APP
prove honesty and fidelity in Govern
ment expenditures: the reduction of in
terest and payment Of the debt az rap
idlv as may be without unduly burden
ing the people; the bringing of taxation
within the lowest possible limits: re-
ducing the force of public officials to
the lowest number consistent with the
requirements.
The administration commands univer-
sal respect throughout the whole conn
try, and has the confidence and respect
and support Of Republicans of the
State Of New York.
Our Senators and Representatives in
Congress have our thanks for their part
in the reduction of internal takes to the
extent Of ga $50 600, while the national
debt IL kept unsullied.
The inuguration OF civil service re-
form il result of Republican agitation
and national progress, and the Conven-
ton insists that the work thus auspi-
ciously begun shall DO prosecuted to
complete success.
We favor a system of tariff laws
under which, while revenue for the
Government Ia provided, American pro-
ducts are justly protected, American
labor elevated, and home markets are
secured TO home products for the advan-
tage alike of the producer and the la
borer. We favor the removal of AL I'M
Just burdens upon American shipping,
and the awarding of ocean mail con-
tracts to the lowest bidders, and favor
American vessels after open cOmpeti-
ton. We favor the establishment by
Congress Of national bureau Of labor,
With tho object of promoting the indus
the people. We favor the surrounding
Of primary meetings, rs we'll as popular
elections, with security, honesty and
purity a. indispensable requisites to cor
rect political action. The tendency to
create monopolies requires checking by
adequate legislation. An unjust dis
elimination In transportation should be
prohibited.
