NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
Harmonious Convention ut saratoga-Hon.
Warner Miller for Governor.
SARATOGA, Aug. 2s.--Ths Republican State
convention was called to order shortly after
noon. by vice-chairman Knapp, Of ths State
Republican committee. After a few remarks
he presented Rev. Dr. Leach. Of Albany. who
offered prayer Gen. BENZ. +. Tracey
elected temporary chairman. and on taking the
chair addressed the convention at considerable
length. During the course Of his remarks Gen.
eral Tracey said:
'You meet under circumstances Of the grav-
eat importance. Not since 1864, when the Dem
ocratic national convention solennlv declared
In its platform that the war for the Union was
a failure. and demanded that it should be
brought 20 speedy end. has more important
political issue been presented to the American
peopls than that presented by President Cleve-
lands free-trads message and the Mills bill
The issue Of 1854 involved the
issue of 1883 involves the continued ex-
istence o: our manufacturing industries and
our commercial prosperity. The answer which
the Nation made 10 the quasi-treasonabls de-
order to Grant to move on Richmond and to
Sherman to march from Atlanta to the sea-
The answer Was effective. Lincoln was for the
second time elected President, the war not
failure aud che Union was preserved. Since
the Democratic party first yielded 10 the in
fuence Of the South ana sssentsd TO its de-
mands that slavery should be perpetuated and
extended into the free Territories OF the West.
Its existence has been continued menace aud
danger to tho peace and general welfare OF the
country. To extend and perpetuats slavery
and establish FREQ trade Was for years the lead
ing and only policy Of united South. but iu
1860 united South was met by united North.
aud slavery went down with secession and re-
Iellion. But the leaders of the South. like the
Bourbons of Europe, learn nothing
and forget nothing Excluded from
power for twenty-eight years, as soon as they
feel themselves again firmly seated In the sad
die, they demand the repeal OF the present rev.
enue system aud the establishment of free trade,
just as IL nothing had happened In this country
since 1860. The situation is alarming. Nothing
in the future of = nation can. apprehend. be
more certain than this: Thas if the policy OF
legislation indicated by the Presidents free
trade message and the Mills bill becomes the
permanent policy of the country, the Nation
will suffer disaster second only 10 that it would
have sustained by the triumph OF the rebellion
itself. IN this supreme emergency New York
again becomes the pivotal State. II her
people are made TO see clearly Apd
to apprehend fully the danger that con-
fronts rs, the result ia not doubtful Gentlemen
OF the convention. psrnit me to eongrstaiats
you that the present campaign finds the party
acting under wise and united leadership, and
when united, the Republicans OF New York are
and always were, invincible."
At the conclusion of General TrAceys speech,
thu usual committees were appointed and . re-
cess was taken until o'clock
At a caucus Of the New York delegation, this
morning, it was decided that the votes OF New
York city sAould be cast for Col. s. v. r.
r.,ca- for I;autan.nt uovarnor raralut;on
which proposed to protest against the inssr-
tion of hieh-license plank in the platform met
with the approval Of majority of the dslega-
ton, but il was finally decided to leave that
question 90 the convention. When the Kings
county delegation heard Of the decision of the
New York caucus to support Crugsr, they de-
cided to give him their suppors also.
This resolution was adopted at the close Of
General Tracy's speech:
In view Of the recent development before the con-
gressiona investigating committee showing the abuse
OF our naturalization and immigration laws we desire
and urge a thorough revision of said laws. in order
that country and our felowcitizens may be pro-
tected from the pauper and criminal classes of other
countries.
Secretaries aud committees were then named,
and recess was had until o'clock.
General Joseph f. Bachelor became perma.
nent chairman Of the convention upon its reas-
sembline. After euloeizing the Republican can.
