The work of the Republican State
Convention held at Saratoga, on We'd
nesday and Thursday of last week, was
admirably done. An unexceptional
ticket has been placed upon sound
platform, both ticket and platform meet
ing with the warmest approval of re-
publicans all over the country.
The platform meets the great ques
tons of the day in language so clear
and specific that none can misunderstood
It's import. There was no lodging, but
a direct and manly declaration Of the re-
publican party's attitude upon such
questions as Civil Service Reform, the
finances, aud protection by tariff to the
diversified interests of the country. Ii
declares for harmony between North
aud South but not at the expense of
those equal, civil and political rights.
promised by the Constitution TO every
freeman. Il arraigns the National Adj
Inuistration for its weakness in hand
lag the currency question, and for its
hostile attitude to American shipping.
1t critici.es the democratic party for its
hypocracy and dgplicity in pledging it
self before election to Civil Service Re
form, and after election denouncing the
Civil Service Act a. unconstitutional.

CONCLUDE TO PUT A CIVIL SERVICE PLASK
IN THEIR PLATFORM.
At Saratoga. the 18th, the county demo-
Gratis paraded the streets, for two hours with
banner and music and those who chose
could interpret this demonstration as
showing their acquiescence in the result Of
last nights work. Inc committee on re-
solutions was in session most of the night
and finally agreed upon a civil service plank
which t.ey were confident would not meet
with opposition in any quarter. This desr-
able result was largely due to the pacific in
fuenee Of Congressman Abram Hewitt and
Perry Belmont, ana the plank as agreed
upon is substantially the same as that
adopted in the county convention which re-
Gently renominated Belmont. 1t approves
the principle of civil service laws and con-
demns many of the rules and practices which
have grown up under them aad become part
of the system as actually administered and
which are held to operate unjusty asd with
partisan effect.
Chairman Ksines called the convention to
order at noon. Gen Roger A. Pryor
submitted a resolution lamenting the death
of Gen Grant which was unanimously
adopted.
Flowers nomination was seconded BY half
a dozen including the county democracy and
Tammany, Bourke Cochrane making
strong speech in his behalf. Flowers
nomination will be made unanimous.
The convention adopted resolutions
endorsing the administrations of President
Cleveland and Gov. Hill.
Pred Cook was nominated for secretary
of state and A. C. Chaplin of BROOKLYN for
comptroller. Dennis O'Brien for attor-
ney general, l.. |. Fitzgerald for state
treasurer and z. SWEET for engineer and
surveyor.
All the other candidates having withdrawn,

New York Democrats in Trouble.

Hon. Roswell Z. Flower, who received
the democratic nomination for Lieutenant
Governor of New York, has declined in
letter to Chairman Raines. Mr.. Flower was
nominated solely because Of his immense
wealth which the democratic manager ex
pected would be literally distributed. But
Mr.. Flower, bitterly disappointed at not re-
ceivng the nomination for Governor, seeks
revenge By declining the nomination for
Lieutenan, Governor.
Upon receipt Of the news the democratic
leaders were thrown into CONSERVATION. and
at once decided to beseech Mr.. Flower to
withdraw his declination. This sudden turn
Of affairs is great blow to the democrats.
who expected Flower would help the ticket
out with his "barrel.'
The New York democratic State com
mittee met Monday in pursuit Of a candidate
for Lieut.. Governor in place Of Flower de-
clined The nomination was rendered to
Eras,us Corning, but he peremptorily de-
clined. 1t was then decided to offer it to
Gen. Slocum, but it was not known Monday
night whether or not he would accept. The
democratic leaders are much alarmed at the
situation.--L eWistoD Journal
