for him. Chairman Brookfield, of the
state committee, called the convention TO
order at noon.
William A. Sutherland was chosen tenn
porary chairman. On taking the chair he
aellVered an address upon the absolute
necessity of the carrying of New York in
order to elect the next President, and said
we are entering upon 10 holiday excur-
sion. we are forcing a foe, desperate,
INSCRIPTIONS, splerdidly equipped. With
appetltes Whetted by recent and stolen
fruits, they are eagerly reaching for
greater plunder. Victories SO far have been
evenly divided and it is now the Demo
cratic turn. Can the victory of 1883 be
repeated IN 1892, was the margin only
l per cent in the Republican favor.
the speaker warned them the plurality of
l4OOO which Harrison received in 1883
would not be sufficient to give him the cleo
loral vote In 1872, owing to the CELEBRITY with
winch falSereturns were manufactured and
true returns stolen. He declared arrange
ments to rush through fraudulent returns
and to issue certificates under them were
perfected by Tammany Hail. He closed
by urging thorough organization in every
precinct throughout the state as the only
means for achieving victory.
AT the conclusion of Sutherland's speech
the usual committees were appointed aud
the convention took a recess. On reassem-
bling, Whitelaw Reid was made permanent
chairman.
On taking the chair, Reid addressed the
convention at considerable length, thank
ing the delegates for the honor done him
and reviewing the history of the Republi-
can party In state and national affairs.

we shall go into this campaign with the flag
Tying on no still hunt for votes, but with
principles and the record Of the party to
the front, aud with candidates worthy of
both. We are for honest money and we
mean to light on that line to the end so any
dollar issued by the government shall be as
good as any other it issues, or ever did
We are for the protection of American in
dustries and American workmen. and we
are for the Mckinley tariff and for that
wise and fruitful system OF reciprocity. ~
After fattering references to Harrison.
Morton and Tracy, Reid resumed his seat
amid great applause.
When Reid referred to President Eerri-
son as that noble man sitting under his
grandfather's hat in the White House u,
the house rang with cheers and laughter
1t remained, however, for the utterance
characterizing Blaine as that great secre-
tary, matchless Blaine," to bring the con-
vention to its feet, and the cheering for n
time was deafening. After Mr. Reid closed
his remarks great shout went up for
DepeW and continued until that gentleman
came to the stage. Ae said, in part: "The
Democratic legislature has left ALBANY and
the Republican convention is here. Morn
ing always follows the night. The Demo-
cratic party for the first time in many years
has had possession during the past winter
OF every branch of our state government.
1t has demonstrated what it could do and
then taken preliminary appeal to people.
and that preliminary appeal has been an
swered at the spring elections in every
township and city in the state. The fraud
here, emblazoned upon the armament was
seen in Rhode Island and redeemed that
state When ex-President Cleveland made
his famous pilgrimage 10 Rhode Island he
1nterspersed his political Dlatltudes, which
his hearers do not understand, with Quota
lions from the scriptures with which he is
very familiar. He went with what is
called Democratic triumph in Albany be-
hind him, and searching through the
scriptures selected from the decalopue:
Thou shall not stea,' and the people of
Rhode Island instantly elected Repub-
ican governor and legislature
After speaking in eulogy of the McKin
ley bill and saying that the stand of the
party Is for honest money, Mr.. Depew cor
tinued: mo honors could be heaped any
higher than those which already rest. by
the common consent OF his grateful coun-
trymen, upon the head of James c.. Blaine
Applause. We are daily reading through
the cable Of the doings of foreign poten-
tates, but we turn TO the choice of the
American people, the free choice OF the
people. We point TO his speeches in all
parts OF the country, under all possible
conditions, with so much versatility and
extreme felicity; to the cleanliness of his
life, his patriotism as soldier, his power
to go into the state department when its
! head is temporarily disabled, and be a great
foreign minister; to go into the finance
department when its chief was SICK and be
a successful finance minister; and to be at
all times the full measure of the chief
magistrate of sixty-fve millions of people :
and we say to hereditary legislators, there
is the choice of the people Benjamin Har-
rlson-match him" TApplause
"No presidency can honor him more than
the laurels Of love and esteem placed by the
people upon the head of James G.. Blaine ),
said Mr.. Depew; and the tumuit which
broke loose could not be restrained for
many minutes.
j. Sloat Fassett then made brief ad-
dress, following which the platform was
read.
The platform reafirms the platform of
the national Republican convention of lSSs
and congratulates Harrison on the success
of the administration endorses the Repub-
ilcan revenue legislation and Mckinley
tariff act; commends the wisdom and sa-
gacity Of Harrison's cabinet anG especially
the chief cabinet officer Blaine; endorses
Harrison's declaration in favor of an
honest dollar and commenGs the Republi-
can members of Congress- for having
secured the defeat Of the silver bill, saving
the people must continue to look to the
Republican party to maintain the good
faith of the nation in all matters of finance
pledged, as it is. to keep any dollar
bearing the standard of the United States
at par with gold and to repel any
assault of the reckless advocates of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. The plat
form denounced the treatment of the PEG
pie in the south as barbarous and continued
! for the sole purpose of perpetuating Demo
cratic control OF that section; arraigns the
Democratic party of the state for con
spiracy against tue constitutional rights oil
