Committee of this State at its meeting hoid III

State Convention meant the assembling Oh 90

been an unllstfahle expenditure OF tune,
money and energy to have brought together
en- many men from all sections of the state
for the performance of that single duty. This
would have been true whatever might have

the fact that by common consent the crmnc

itcs, greatly strengthens the action or the
committee. Judge Earl is Democrat; ne
was elected by Democratic votes. But he
has known no politics since he has been upon
the bench, and his denomination by the nc

Service reform. Equally satisfactory was the
declaration of the committee in reference to
the Administration of President Harrison, to
the Mckinley Tariff bill-cspecially its agri-
cultural scc,ion-and the Lodge Federal Elcc-
ton BILL
We commend the resolutions which the
committee adopted on these heads to the
intelligent and thoughtful voters OF New
York. They constitute an admirable cptorne
of Republican doctrine, and demonstrate that
the Republicansm of to-day is as vigorous.

ism of any of the eras since the party was
formed. The resolutions touching state af-
fairs are also worthy the attention Of all
voters who desire u cast their ballots SO as
to promote the common veal. Tn" committee
points to the fact that the ncAt Legislature
will be called upon to discharge duties OF the

the Republican party. whose representatives
in the Legislature of 1890 reduced the taxes

continued in power.
1t is gratifying to note that the members OF
the committee reported that the Republican
party was in healthy condition in Their re-
spectivc counties. In order that VIC may carry
the Legislature this fall by handsome ma
jority and meet the best expectations in the
Congressional canyasscS, it is only ncceS-
sary, 50 these competent witnesses report. that
we all should do our best. such testimony
from such sources ought to stimulate every
member of the grand old party to take of his
cant and On to work i'm dead earnest
