The Democracy OF New York reaffirms the
platform adopted at its last State Convention,

"a shown by majority OF nearly 100000 az the
last election; and they, especially denounce the
proposition that the people should be taxed TO
raise surplus fund for the Federal Govern
ment TO distribute among the States. We
claim with pride and satisfscti n that every
pledge therein made has been in good faith re-
useless offices have been abolished, the civil
service has been freed from the debasing and
injurious influences of partisan manipulation
freedom and purity OF the primaries have been
secured, political assessments have been abol-
1shed, recevership abuses have been co rected,
the principle of local self-government has been
adhered to, the efficiency of the National Guard
has been increased, taxation for the support of
the Government has been reduced, a State Blu
reau or Labor Statistics has bsen established,
the rights of the worlxingman have been further
protested, and the injurious competition of con-
Wet labor has been curtai.e1, and business
methods have been the rule in the management
of State affairs.
On the record thus made, and TO which IL will
steadfastly adhere, the Democratic party asks a
renewal OF the award of the confidence of the
people. We invite with reason ali friends of N
improved state administration, irrespective of
party, to join with the Democracy in preserving

extending them TO all branches OF the State
service
