The res olutions further demand the repeal of the silver coinage act and the stoppage of any further compulsory coinage of silver dollars; reaffirm the declarations of the national Democratic platform upon the revision of the tariff and enlargement of the free list: demand ''that the methods of ad- ministration ill the custom houses shall be thoroughly reformed and the vexatious annoyances and oppressive regulations which have driven our own merchants out of busl- ness shall bs swept away and that the con duct of business between the people and the government shall be made as simple and in expensive as possible;" deplore the contract system in prisons favor prohibiting the en- ployment of children in the factories and oth- CT industrial establishments in the State un- der fourteen years of age; favor limiting the day for all women employed in mills and other industrial establishments in the State; favor such legislation as shall insure to honorably discharged sol diers and sailors of the late war for the pre- servation of the Union priority in certifca- ton under the civil service laws and regula- tions; oppose all sumptuary and other laws that interfere with the constitutional right of personal liberty and favor the enactment of such excise laws as shall be alike just to all considering the claims of all, and perfecting their individual rights.

Flower for Lieu tenant Governor; Fred Cooke, of Monroe, for Secretary of State; Alfred Chapin, of Brooklyn, for Comptroller; Lawrence Fitz- gerald, of Cortlandt, for Treasurer; Dennis o'Brien for Attorney Genera, and Elnathan h, Sweet of Albany for State Engineer.
