of applause when Varnum referred to the
reciprocity policy of the administration as
the work of Benjamin Harrison and espe-
cially Secretary Blaine. A generous out
burst greeted Harrison's name, while a
tumult arose when Blaine's name was
mentioned. A cannon, Just outside the
hall, was fired at that moment to swell the
clamor.
A letter was read from Andrew ID.

proceeded with and presently Gen. Wood
ford said that, finding Fassett has q clean
majority of the votes he asked permission
to cast Kings county solid for Fassett and
thai the nomination be made unanimous.
A delegate from Buffalo then said he
wss authorized to turn to Fassett the en-
tire Erie decoration. This Young man
had created a sensation a few minutes

not want q candidate who was holding an
Office under the national administration.

The platform reafirms the principles
on which victory was won in 1888 and
approves the legislation of the ffty-first

by his ability and fidelity In the enforce

his duties, and also nv the admirable pre-
sentation of American principles which
he has made in his addresses to the peo-
pie. His administration commands the
confidence and respect Of the American
people by its intelligent, efficient and ga
gacious conduct of public business in all
departments; especially by the abih y and
energy displayed by a distinguished citi-
zen OF this state in building a navy to be-
come adequate to national defense; by
the thorough and successful management
OF the vast transactions of the treasury
under the present secretary and his la
mented predecessor. and by the brilliant
and conservative treatment OF our foreign
relations by the secretary of state. which
has raised the American namc to the
highest position ever attained among the
nations of the globe.

policy Of protection to American labor,
1od me fruits of this legislation are in
