 Cornelius =, Parsons, mayor of Rochester, placed In nomination by Mir. Suther- land, of Monroe.
 Congressman W. G. Laidlaw, of Catta- ragus placed in nomination ex-Senator Nor man l.. Allan, which was S conded by Sec retary Smith of the convention. There were various seconds to the different nominees, and finally, ct ' o'clock the roll of counties was called for the first ballot.
 Tho roll call proved beyond doubt that Col Cruger had received the nomination, and the friends of the contestants all having withdrawn ia his favor, the nomination was made unanimous.
 Mr. Nicholas, of Steuben, nominated Judge Rumsey, of that county, for judge of the court of appeals He described his can didato's record soldier, jurist and statesman, and at the conc uson of his re- marks the nomination of Ju lge Rumsey was made by exclamation.
 The committee on reSo,u ,utionS was then called, and the chairman, ex-Congressman Payne. read the report as follows:
 The Republicans of New York in state oI 1iollx nI approve the declaration of principles adopted by the national convention in Chicago, in June last, just and adequate statement of the position of the Republican party con- cerning national affairs
 Second-We heartily ratify the nomina- ton of that tried and true statesman and soldier, Benjamin Harrison, for president aMI welcome with great qualification the choice of that worthy and eminent citizen of New York, Levi F. Morton, for vice pres- dent, and give assurance to our fellow Re pubiicans throughout the Union that the tAirty-six electoral votes of this comm H. wealth shall be cast for these candidates by Il majority which Federal patronage, allied with fraud and corruption in the metropolis, cannot overcome.
 Thrd-The Republican senators i'll con. gGesS, in rejecln the treaty relative to the fisheries negotiated with Great Britain acted i'll accordance with the dictates of a just patriotism, and worthily asserted American rights and the national honor, while the mes sage of President Cleveland, transmitted on Aug. 23, is a confession that his administra- ton has been grossly negligent of its duties n the protection of American fishermen and has invited new annoyances and aggres- sions on the part of the Canadians by the failure to make manful protest and to en- +h,,, ,F,,1 >f ulitted to him. The Republican party favors a foreign policy which shall do no wrong to -h9 weakest neighbor and shall brook indig- nlty from no power on earth, and by insist ing oil fair play on sea and land shall, through justice, insure peace with all nations.
 Fourth-Ihe legislature of 1858 gave proof of the purpose and effort of the Republican party to enact laws for the best interests of the people The reduction in the rate of state taxation bears witness to the principles which guided legislation. The investigation into the trusts and combinations, by making their evil known, points the way to etfectuaI remedies. The examination into the conduct of affairs in connection with the New York aqueduct, still ill progress, has already ex- posed abuses which call for repar4tion, and has given warning how the campaign ex- penses of a Democratic governor may be met out of contracts paid by the taxpayers
 Fifth-Ihe purity ot the ballot, the security of elections, are the foundation of our free institutions, and good citizens of all parties should gladly aid Ill all practical measures for promoting these conditions and for check ing ali hostile and corrupting influences The Republican party 1avors the payment by the state of the legitimate expenses for ballots and their distri button, and the pun. ishment by disfranchisement and other severe
 A:, I~,.sIo
 Inc efforts of the last legislature in this direction deserve commenuat ton, while Gov ernor Hill merits censure ana rebuke for his veto of a meas Ure aiming to Lurify the ballot and to assure absolute luds pendence to the voter at the polls. In ,.mo has come for an appeal to the people, and for elections free rom the control or money, and guarau- teelng to every eiec, or the right to vote as he pleases and to have that vote honestly counted
 Sixth-The Republican party unequivocalI, condemns the course of Governor Hill in ob- StrucIing, by his vetoeS, acts for increasing the fees for licenses, by which large share Of the cost Of government might be levied on the liquor traffic, and we approve the efforts of the Republicans in the last legislature upon the liquor question, especially Ill passing the act, nulhtied by such executive action to re- strict that traffic by charges which would lift of the burdens of taxation caused by the liquor rrattc from the home and the farm, and believe that such charges should be advanced to standard similar to those similarly enforced in other states under Re publican control.
 Seventh-Recent Investigations make clear the necessity for the more etfeetual enforce ment of the laws for the prevention of the importation oS contract labor The national administration is grievously at fault for this failure to guard against the degradation of American labor. The Republican party demand further legislation to prohibit the in Aux of pauper and criminal immigrants whose incoming brings upon our own work ing people competition both unjust and disastrous.
 Eighth-1n view of recent revelations showing the abuse of our naturalization and immigration laws, We desire and urge a thorough reyIslon of said laws, in order tha , our country and our fellow citizens may be protected from the pauper and criminal classes of other 0untries.
 Nlnth-We favor the enactment of prison laws which, while providing for the employ ment of prisoners, shall prevent the product of their labor from competing with that of wage workers
 lenth-Beheving that our canals are most
