The army of 800 delegates to the Re-
publican state convention and the hun
dreds of camp followers slept under
blankets last night. The morning was
crisp and brilliant, and the day an ideal
one for the close quartering of con-
vention hall. AS the time approached
for the convention to assemble, the
Becker bands began their music and the
delegates moved by ones and twos and
then by groups and squads to the con
vention hall. Shortly after II all was
ready, and Gen. Knapp, chairman OF
the state committee. stepped to the
front of the platform and called the
convention to order.
A WeIl-PIaced Prayer.
Rev. DR.. Stebbins offered prayer, ask
ing especially that the interests of capt
tai and of labor should be permanently
harmonized. Gen. Knapp then spoke
very briefly. and reference to ''the
matchless man from Maine" was re-
ceived with terrific and prolonged APP
plause. The chair then nominated w.
and he proceeded to roast the Demo
Gratis the best he knew how. At the
close of his speech the usual committees
were appointed and the convention took
a recess until o'clock.
The delegates were brought to order
in second session at 400 p. M, and
Hustled, chairman of the permanent Or
ganZation committee, reported the
name of James NJ. Varnum for perma-
nent chairman. Mr. Varnum was es-
corted to the chair and addressed the
convention at great length. There was
no room for doubt as to the relative
volume of applause when Gen. Varnum
referred to the reciprocity policy of the
administration as the work of Benjamin
Harrison, and especially of Secretary
Blaine. A generous outburst greeted
Mr.. HarriSOn'S name, while tumult
arose when Mr.. Blaine's name was ut
tered.
White WIthdrayvs.
After report from the committee on
credentials the chairman, in the alb
Sence of the resolutions committee, de-
clared nominations in order, when a let
ter was read from Andrew ID. White,
withdrawing his name. j. Sloat Fas-
sett, OF Chemung; Philip Becker, of
Buffalo; Gen. Carr, OF Rensselaer,;
Gen. Woodford and Mr.. Wadsworth
were placed in nomination and the vote
began, but had not proceeded far before
it was apparent that FaSSett would be
nominated, and a motion to make it
unanimous was carried with hurrah.
While committee went after the NOM
inee, Congressman S. E. Payne. OF Au-
burn, chairman of the resolutions com
mittee, presented and read the platform,
WHICH is as IOllOWS.
Appeal TO the Electors.
The following are the most important
planks in the platform:
The Republicans of the state of New York,
by their chosen representatives, appeal to
the electors and declare:
They adhere to the principles on which the
national victory was won in 1888 by the de-
cIsive electoral votes of this state, and they
approve the legislation of the flfty-first con.
gress in the embodiment of those principles
They commend 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
the performance of his duties, andsalso by
the admirable presentation of American
principles which he has made in his ad-
dresses to the people.
The revenue legislation of the fifty-first
congress, both in the tariff and the admins
tratiye act, is just and proper application
of the policy of protection to American labor
and the control of home markets for the in
dustry of our own people; and the fruits of
this legislation are increasing daily in the es-
adjustment of new factories, in steadier en-
ployment to wage earners, in Letter prices to
the farmer for the products of the soil, and
ence for our country in the face of monetary
distress throughout Europe and South Amer
lea.
The Silver Plank.
The act of July II, 1870, provides for the
purchase of silver product Of American
mines and issuing of the new treasury note.
protected by reserve of 100 cents worth of
silver for every dollar issued. We commend
this policy of maintaining gold and silver at
parity, the treasury notes paid for silver to
be kept at par with gold. The voice of New
York is emphatic against auy degradation of
the currency. and demands, with President
Harrison, every dollar issued by the govern
ment. whether paper or coin, shall be as
good as every other dollar
We approve the speedy construction of the
Nicaragua canal, under American charter,
by American enterprise and with American
capital. as essential to national defense and
TO the interests of interstate commerce and
the trade of the continent
We recognize the dignity of labor and the
necessity of proper legislation 10 protect it's
interests. We deprecate any attempt to les
sen the fruits of toll. or to place honest
workmen in competition with paupers and
conYicts. domestic or foreign. The rigid en-
forcement of the alien labor contract law is
commended.
We favor such legislation as will prevent
all Illegal combinations and unjust exactions
by aggregated capital and corporate powers
We insist upon the suppression of all trusts.
combines and schemes designed artifcialIy
to increase the price of the necessaries of
lite.
The cruelties and prosecutions practiced
upon the Jews in Russia are abhorrent to the
sense of justice of this people: and the in
teryention of our government by all proper
means TO secure to the oppressed of all for
eign nations equal rights under their laws is
commended.
at the conclusion of the reading and
adoption OF the platform Candidate Fas-
sett mounted the platform, and in the
approved fashion thanked the conyen-
ton for the honor. at the same time ex-
pressing confidence in the outcome at
the polls.
The balance of the ticket was noml-
mated by reclamation. No candidate
save Mr.. Fassett appeared before the
convention. and the convention,
amid cheers, was adjourned sine die at
$50 p. m.
