THE PLATFORM
The following is the platform
adopted by the Republican State
| convention:
t The Republicans of Now York, in
State convention, hold that the
record of the republican party in the
ipast affords the best guarantee OF
the party's purpose and acts in the
| future. The preservation Of na
tional life, extension of freedom of
full rights to all, keeping of the
national faith, promotion Of the
national credit, payment Of
the public debt, reduction
of taxation, promotion Of home
Industries, elevation OF labor,
publication Of the civil service. The
policy based upon wise legislation
that has given unexampled pros
perity 10 the country and promoted
the happiness and progress of the
people, show achievements that
commend the Republican party to
continued popularity and favor. We
rejoice in the wisdom and success
of President Arthur's administra-
ton, We approve of honesty and
fidelity in government expenditures,
reduction of the interest of the
public debt and payment Of the
debt as rapidly as may be without
unduly buTdening the people; the
reduction of taxation to the lowest
practicable limit. The reduction of
the force Of public officials to the
lowest number consistent with
public requirements commands
universal respect throughout the
country and has the confidence and
support of the Republicans of the
state Of New York. Our Senators
and Representatives. in Congress
have our thanks for their part in the
reduction of internal taxation to the
extent Of S40,000,000, while the ma
tional credit is kept unsuIlied. The
public debt is being steadily reduced
and the defenders of the service and
administration will use every prac-
ticable means that will diminish
the burdens Of taxation. We re-
ioice in a successful Inaugural
ton of civil service reform,
a result of Republican agitation and
1 national progress, and insist that
the work thus auspiciOusly begun
shall be prosecuted to a complete
success. We favor a system of
tariff laws under which, while reY-
!, enue for the government is pros
vided, American products are justly
, protected, American labor elevated,
and home markets are secured
to home products, for the adj
vantage alike Of the producer
and Iaborer. We favor the removal
Of all unjust burdens on American
shipping, and awarding Of ocean
mail contracts to The lowest bidders
among owners of American vessels
after open competition. We favor
the establishment by Congress
of q national bureau Of labor
statistics with the objects of pro
noting the industrial, social and
sanitary conditions OF the people.
We favor the surrounding Of pTi-
mary meetings, IS well IS popular
: elections, with the security Of hon
esty and purity, as indispensable
requisites to correct political action.
l The tendency to create monopolies
, requires checking by adequate leg
