The Committee on Resolutions made the follow
ing report, and it was unanimously adopted
The Democracy of New York reafiirms the plat
form adopted at its last State Convention, 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 a surplus fund
for the Federal Government to distribute among
the States. We claim with pride ana satisfaction
that every pledge therein made has been
in good faith redeemed. Valuable reforms
have been wrought useless Offices have been abol-
ished the civil service has been freed from debas-
ing and injurious influences of partisan manipula-
tion, freedom and purity of primaries have been
secured, political assessments have been abolished
receivership abuses have been corrected the prin-
cipe of local self government has been adhered to-
the efficiency OF the National Guard has been in
creased, taxation for the support of the Govern
ment has been reduced. State Bureau of Labor
Statistics has been established, the rights of the
workingman have been further protected and the
injurious competition of convict labor has been
curtailed and business been better. On the record
thus made, and which we will steadfaStIy adhere
TO, the Democratic party asks renewal OF the
/ awards OF conhdence of the people and
invites, with reason, all friends of honest
State administration to join the Democrats in
preserving and perecting the reforms in progress
and in extending them to all branches OF the State
service. We heartily indorse Governor Cleveland s
administration. 1t justifies the great vote which
elected him. He has deservedly won the approval
| OF the people by his industry, firmness and in
telligenee and aggressive honesty. The results
make his administration one OF the best the State
ever had.
