SARATOGA sPRINes, n Y, Sept 26.-In |
spite Of general belief to the contrary, ex-
Senator Warner Miller did attend the Re
publican state convention and appeared to
be in the very best Of spirits Chairman |
| Knapp, Of the state committee, called the |
convention to order, and Hon. Chauncey NJ. |
Depew was chosen temporary president, He
addressed the convention as follows:
Mr. Depew's Speech.
GENTLEMEN return you my thanks for the
high honor conferred in selecting me 70 preside
| over your deliberations. Il il always valued
distinction to be chairman OF Republican con
yention OF the state Of New York We are hero
taking one Of the too infrequent days from our
ayocatlons and pursuits 60 give our time and
best thought 70 the higher aud more important
business of the government Of the common
wealth The familiar truisn that the prosperity
and happiness Of the people depends upon the
wise administration Of public affairs applies with
unusual force 10 our action. The experience OF
quarter Of a century has demonstrated that the
prosperity, development and progress OF the
republic and the highest interests of our state
are best promoted and advanced under Repub
lican administration.
Il is, therefore. for Us 10 labor with enthusiasm
and harmony for Republican success. When we
last met the Democratic party was in possession
Of the government. and for four years had enjoyed
It's long coveted opportunity 70 prove its capacity
for affairs. After a long and exhaustive debate
in the press aud upon the platform, power has
been taken from lis hands. The surplus In the
treasury, which has constituted so large factor
in discussion and attempted legislation still ex
| ists and increases All parties admit the ~ ls,
and its dangers are transparent, But the surplus
is not money 10 he trfed with or squanaefed. IL
belongs 20 the people and represents unnecessary
taxation The effort TO dispose Of il led 70 the
, extraordinary attempt 20 put in force the expert
: ment Of reducing the surplus by destroying the
r prosperity which made It possible.
For the first time in fifteen years the Repub
iioan party Is in possession Of the executive and
, legislative branches Of the government. The
whole responsibility now deyolves upon them.
The surplus win DO reached by removing unnecess
sary burdens and adjusting taxation upon proven
lines. Internal revenues and tariff laws are never
: | perfect but when they are reformed by their
\ friends as they will be during the coming session
OF congress and the administration OF our presi-
dent the notifications will remove unnecessary
/ taxation without impairing the bedrock principle
s of protection % American industries But now
4 that il is for 70 administer affairs The needs of
l. the country demand that the protection Of our
r. industries shall be supplemented by every effort
70 find for their surplus a market. Tie consistent
Il policy Of Republican administration for quarter
. OF a century has not only advanced and main
