Mayor Murphy, of Troy, chairman of the
state committee, called the convention to
order.
A gilt-framed portrait of President Cleve. |
land was placed on an easel at the right of
the stage. The house arose and cheered,
Governor Hills portrait had been carried to
the platform Immediately after that of Cleve-
Land, but as soon as Secretary Defreest saw
it he sharply ordered it taken to the rear of
the stage.
The secretary deemed that its presentation
then would be premature, and would spoil
the stage effect its appearance at a later mo-
ment was intended to produce.
Chairman Murphy announced the selection
as chairman of George Raines, Of Monroe.
Mr.. Iiaines, on taking the chair, was re-
ceived with applause. A recess was then
taken until thus evening.
Upon reassembling in the evening d. Cady
Herrick, of Albany, was made permanent
chairman. Following a speech from Her
rick the committee on resolutions presented
the platform. In the first plank the st. Louis
candidates and the platform are endorsed.
The presidents letter of acceptance is COM
mended as an elaboration of what the New
York democracy believe and feel. The
second plank halls with patri-
and statesmanlike message Of President
Cleveland upon the fisheries question, vindi-
eating the rights and proclaiming anew the
dignity of American citizenship. We con-

dent who, moving the right, dares to main
tam it," The third plank commends the eff
forts of the president to enforce the laws re-
lative to contract labor, and recommends a
thorough revision of the laws, so as to ex-
clude criminals and paupers from abroad.
The Chinese bill is endorsed and its
approval by the senate demanded.
I'VE condemn the republican ma
jority of the United States %senate,''
runs the language of the platform, ''for its
hostility to the labor measures which were
passed by the house of representatives in
March and April of 1883, and which failed to
receive even consideration by the republican
branch of the legislature" Fourth, ''We
maintain that the combinations of
capital, commonly called trusts, are
conspiracies which limit production,
CARELESS of the cost of production and re-
duce the wages of labor, crush out smaller in
dependent dealers and strangle competition.
These conspiracies are not private affairs.
They are matters of governmental concern.
We demand of the Legislature to prevent
such combinations, and we condemn the last
republican Legislature for defeating all legis-
lation for the suppression OF these trusts and
monopolies alike contrary to common law
and dangerous to the prosperity of a free
people" The fifth plank bears upon the
liquor question in this state. The high
license legislation of recent sessions Is
characterized and denounced as the 'varia-
BILE, defective and hypocritical legislation of
republican legislatures upon the liquor ques-
ton, most of which was clearly inconsistent
and not honestly designed or calculated to
aid the cause of temperance,
but intended only to mislead
the people and for political effect"
Plank six at the outset favors purity of cleo.
tons, and at the close condemns the Saxton
electoral purity bill vetoed last winter by
Governor Hill. A remuneration of the
state is demanded, a constitutional conven-
ton is urged, home rule for cities is advo-
Gated, legislation to prevent food adulteration
is asked, and all labor measures in the future
are endorsed. The last planks favor the
maintenance of canals the employment of
%convicts without competition with free labor
is favored; to Parnell and Gladstone Is eX-
tended the moral support of the party; en-
dorse Governor Hilrs administration, con
denim his enemies, and congratulate the de-
mocracy Of the landupon the bright prospects
of national party success.
After the adoption of the platform Daniel
l.. Lockwood, who nominated Cleveland,
