The convention was called to order at
1886 D. M. Chairman Murphy, of the
state cOmmitte, called the convention to
order and moved that Hon. George
Raines. of Rochester, be made temper
ary chairman. Upon reaching the plat
form Mr. Raines was greeted with
thuuderous applause. He then stepped
TO the chairmsn'S desk and addressed
the convention. thanking the delegates
for their cordial reception. The be-
ginning of his address was devoted to a
REVIEW OF DEMOCRATIC REFORM
which had begun with Seymour and
Tilden and was being continued by the
present leaders both at Washington and
iu this state. Mr.. Raines said that along
the line of battle IN every state the in
spring words will be heard 'Democ-
racy gives her commission OF leadership
in New York to her trueSt and strongest
son. her most favored champion. the
present governor of the State-Dayid Is.
Hill" This sentiment caused uproarlouS
applause, which lasted for several min
eDaolra- fhaD aallad aftan-
ton to the abuses which Democracy had
corrected. Land frauds had yielded up
SO. 200. 600 acres of plunder; Indian syS-
tens no longer blOssOmed with red
clusters of massacTes; navy, tested
fairly on the high seas, begins TO
represent the millions layished
for national defense; diplomacy,
which formerly hid vast CONNER
cial schemes. now honestly asserts
the general interest and protection to
our people in foreign lands; public Off
cialS hold Office by good service, not by
partisan activity, and pensions tiDw out
to honest claimants without the appE-
cation of tests of partnership. Refer

the guest of Cluny Castle cries aloud,

wrongs of our fishermen would
iniure the railroads of my state"

Touch not Levi p. MOrtOn's imported
gardener and cook" Referring to the
surplus, Mr.. Raines said that reduc-
ton of revenue must be made. He rid
iculed Republican propositions of a di-
vision of the surplus among the states,
or spending it in buildings at every
postal center. a reference to the pres
ident's letter of acceptance created
enormous applause. 1t completed the
Democratic text book in national
finance. The people would read both

TRUE DECLARATION OF MORALS.
Mr.. RaineS concluded with an asSur-
ance of the justice of the Democratic
cause, and certain triumph of Demo
cratic principles in the election of Cleve-
land. Thurman and Hill. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Raines' speech the roll of
