has raised the American name to the high |
est position ever attained among the nations |
of the globe.
The platform then declares the revenue |
legislation of the Fifty first Congress- both /
in the tariff and administrative act, is just |
and proper application of the policy of pro-
tecJion to American labor, and the fruits of |
this legislation are increasing daily in the
establishment of new factories, steadier
employment to wage-earners, better prices !
to the farmer and an assurance of financial
independence in the face of the monetary
distress throughout Europe and South
America. Reciprocity is commended, and
on silver the platform says: "The act
Of July IA, 1890, provides for the purchase
of the silver production of American
mines and the issuing of new treasury
notes protected by the reserve OF one hun
dred cents worth of silver for every dollar
issued, We commend this policy of main
tanning gold and silver at parity. Treas
ury notes are paid for silver to be kept at
par with gold. The voice of New York is
emphatic against any degradation of the
currency and demands with President Har-
rison that every dollar issued by the
government, whether paper or coin, shall
be as good as every other dollar"
The pension plank says the Republican
party, while mindful of the dictates of
economy and avoiding the reaction invited
by an excess of appropriations, favors the
| fulfillment of the pledges given TO the
| soldiers of the union.
1t approves the speedy construction of
| the Nicaragua canal under an American
charter by American enterprise and with
American capital as essential to national
defense and to the interests of the inter
state commerce and trade of the continent.
1t earnestly commends the rigid enforce
ment of the alien labor contract law en-
dorses the laws enacted by the late Con-
gress on immigration; endorses the F'as
sett (New YORK; law and condemns the
evasion of that act by the present state ad-
ministration. 1t reasserts the determi-
nation OF the Republican party to maintain
the right of franchise to the fullest extent;
insists upon the suppression of trusts, etc.
| 1t commendS the national administration
for reform in the civil service under the
existing law and condemns the law and
condemns fragrant abuses in the state civil
service
Another plank says: 'vHhe cruelties and
prosecutions practiced upon the Jews in
Russia are abhorent 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 COM
mended.n
An appeal is made to the people of New
Y ork to redeem it's government from the
maladministration, the result of personal
despotism in the executive Office, which
has tolerated and fostered corruption, de-
bauchery of the state department, prosti-
tuted canals, state prisons, public institu-
tions and all avenues to Legislation to the
ambition of an audacious and selfish execu-
tive.n
Comprehensive and efficient excise legis-
lation, giving local option by counties,
towns and restriction by taxation in such
localities as do not by option exclude the
liquor traffic, is favored.
, The platform favors an amendment TIC
, the ballot law by the substitution for the
unofficial paster ballot of blanket
official ballot. q
} Considerable space is devoted to state
issues and criticises the actions of the
Democratic legislature, executive, etc. II
, 'denounces the unpatriotc effort of Gov
ernor Hill, through the last Democratic
assembly, to place this state in an un-
friendly attitude towards the World
Columbian exposition to be held in Chicago
, in 1892. 1t recognizes the necessity for al
exhibition by the state in keeping with its
, commercial and industrial supremacy il
l the nation, and favors early action by the
next legislature providing for proper
exhibit from this state.
A resolution offered by Colonel Shepard
1 of New York, was also adopted, declaring
gnizes the supremacy in shipping ant
(, commercial matters of the metropolis o
!, the nation {New York city, and will en-
= courage the American spirit that is de
, termined to carry that supremacy highe
and build American ships manned b.
American seamen both for carrying al
5 American t'ade, and, as far as possible
5 that between other countries.
: Atits conclusion Mr.. Fassett was intro
u duced and made a speech of some length
Q accepting the nomination. In the cours
of his remarks he said there are two pic
lures for the great jury of the state of New
e York to pass upon. One is the legislativ
e record of the Republican party in min
q years the other the legislative and execu
u tive record of the Democracy during tn
