Los Angeles herald., 1891-09-10

Woodford said that finding Fassett had
a clean majority of votes, he asked per-
mission to cast Kings county solid for
| Fassett, and that the nomination be
made unanimous.
A delegate from Buffalo then said he
was authorized to turn to Fassett the
entire Erie delegation. This young
man had created a sensation few min
utes before by declaring the people did
not want a candidate who was holding
office under the national administrations
Then Wadsworth's name was with
drawn. Carr's adherents hurried into
! the camp, and Fassett's nomination was
made unanimous, while cannon outside
banned governors salute.
The resolutions committee then re-
ported the platform as follows:
The platform reafhrms the principles
on which victory was won in '88, and
and approves the legislation of the
| fifty-frst congress. 1t commends the
wisdom, patriotism and purity of the
administration of President Harrison,
''who has brought himself near to the
hearts of the people by his ability and
fidelity in the performance of his duties :;
also the admirable presentation of Amer
lean principles which he has made in
his addresses to the people. His ad-
ministration commands the confidence
and respect of the American people by
its intelligent, efficient and sagacious
conduct of public business in all depart
ments; especially by the ability and
energy displayed by the distinguished
citizen of New York, at the head of the
navy department, in constructing navy
adequate for the national defense;
by the thorough and success
full management of the vast
transactions of the treasury under
the present secretary, and his lamented
predecessor, and by the brilliant and
conservative treatment of our foreign
relations by the secretary of state,
which has raised the American name
to the highest position ever attained
among the nations of the globe"
The platform then declares that the
revenue legislation of the fifty-frst con-
gress, both in the tariff and the admin
istrative act, is just and proper appli-
cation OF the policy of protection to
American labor, and that the fruits OF
this legislation are increasing daily in
the establishment of new factories,
steadier employment to the wage earn
ers, better prices to the farmer, and the
the face of monetary distress through
out Europe and South America.
Reciprocity is commended, and on
silver, the platform says the act of July
II, 1900, provides for the purchase of the
silver product of American mines, and
the issuing of new treasury notes, pro-
tected by reserve of one hundred cents
worth of silver for every dollar issued
"We commend this policy of maintain
ing gold and silver at parity the
treasury notes paid for silver to be kept
at par with gold. The voice of NewYork
is emphatic against any degreda-
ton of the currency, and demands with
President Harrison, that every dollar is
sued by the government, whether paper
or coin, shall be as good as every other
dollar"
The pension plank says: "The Re-
publican party, while mindful of the
dictates of economy, and avoiding the
reaction invited by an excess of appro-
priations, favors the fulfillment of the
pledges given to the soldiers OF the
Union"
The platform approves the speedy
construction of the Nicaragua canal
under an AmericSn charter, by Amer
lean enterprise, and with American
capital, as essential to the national de-
tense and to the interests of interstate
commerce and trade of the continent"
1t earnestly commends rigid enforce
ment OF the alien labor contract law;
endorses the Fassett New York; laws
and condemns the evasion of that act
by the present state administration
endorses the laws enacted by the late
congress on immigration; reasserts the
determination of the Republican party
to maintain the right of franchise to the
fullest extent; insists upon the sup
preston OF trusts, ETC.. commends the
national administration for reforms in
the civil service under the existing laws,
and condemns the flagrant abuses in the
state civil service.
Another plank says; "The cruelties
and prosecutions practiced upon the
Jews in Russia are abhorrent to the
sense of justice of this people, and the
intervention of our government by all
proper means to secure to the oppressed
of all foreign nations equal rights under
their laws is commended"
An appeal is made to the people of
New York to "redeem it's government
from the discredit brought on it by
Democratic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
result of personal despotism in
the executive Office, which has tolerated
and fostered corruption and debauchery
of the state department, Frustrated
canals, state prisons, public institutions
and all avenues to legislation, to the
ambition of an audacious and selfish
executive"
Comprehensive and efficient excise
legislation, giving local option by coun
ties, towns and cities. and restriction by
taxation in such localities as do not by
option exclude the liquor traffic, is
favored.
The platform favors the amendment
of the ballot law.
Considerable space is devoted to state
issues and criticising the actions OF the
Democratic legislature, executive, etc.
1t "denounces the unpatriotic effort of
Governor Hill, through the last Demo-
cratic assembly" to place this state
in an ufriendlY attitude toward
the worlds Columbian exhibition, to
be held in Chicago in 1892 recognizes
the necessity for an exhibition by the
state, in keeping with its commercial
and industrial supremacy in the nation,
and favors early action by the next
legislature, providing for proper ex-
hibit from this state.
A resolution offered by Colonel
Sheppard, of New York, was also adopt
