CRITICISM OF CLEVELAND.

fers to the Force Eli.
Mr.. Cleveland and MIR. Hill agree in de-
claring that protection is n cheat, but
neither of them dares indorse absolute free
trade, so they are both compelled to repu-
diate the platform and straddle the issue
In his letter of acceptance Mr. Cleveland
has been forced to wrestle with a condi-
tion, not theory, viz: he has been forced
to spit upon the platform and expectorate
asa consistentDemoc Laughter There
are other conditions that are not theories
to which he neglected to address himself
For instance one of the vital questions.
which cannot be ignored and which is
deeply agitating the Democratic machine
politician of the state and the nation, is
whether it is ordained that the Mugwump
tail shall wag the Democratic dog. Laugh
ter
Comment on Peck and Dana.
AAgain, he overlooked that embarrassing
condition which was embodied in the re
cent report of that excellent Democratic
official known as the commissioner of sta
tistics of labor. He should have definitely
settled the question whether Peck should
he crucified to appease the wrath of the
free trade Mugwumps and thus be put on
the list of martyrs to the holy cause of pro-
lection. He has been driven to embrace
the tariff ideas of his arch enemy and to
humiliatingly adopt the imaginary issue of
the journalistic statesman who has stig-
matized him as ~ stuffed prophet In
the expressive language of that same Dem
cratic oracle, the tariff part of Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter is full OF carefully considered
maXims, and is as elastic as caoutchouc ,
Laughter and applause.

"For the future the party of Andrew
Jackson, John G. Calhoun, James Bucha-
nan, and David B. Hill may be considered
as relieved from the necessity and trouble
of holding national conventions A self
constituted committee of all all-wise Mug
wumps can be relied upon to furnish the
candidate, and their candidate will never
fail to be platform unto himself" laugh
ter. Platt then went on to define the posi-
tion of the Republican party on money and
reciprocity, and to say few words in re-
gard to the "force" bill

for months past spread through their
columns all sorts of incendiary appeals
and bogus information in regard TO this
alleged force bill. There has never been force
bill which was endorsed by the Republican
party, and the information furnished Oh
that subject i of the character of the cable
dispatches of interviews with Bismarck and
the imaginary discoveries in the geography
of Mars. The issue is forced, fictitious and
fraudulent. The Republican party will
not condone political fraud and theft, no
matter by whom committed, whatsoever
his name and howsoever high sounding his
title. The senate of New York has been
stolen from the electors of this state and
those who committed the crime have been
rewarded by high official station" Platt
was cheered vociferously as he closed.
Resolutions Adopted.
Chairman Brookfield then read list of
vice presidents including Levi u. Morton,
Depew, Evarts, Bliss, Choate, Pierpont
Morgan, and others. and introduced Elihu
Root, who read set of resolutions setting
forth that the Republicans of New York
declare their devotion to the principles,
their pride in the record and their conf
dence in the future of the Republican par
ty; reciting the wise laws honestly and
ably administered under Republican rule;
the advantages accruing to the country un-
der the Republican policy of protection and
reciprocity, and contrasting the definite
and certain presentation OF the policy of
the administration and the n suits of Re
publican government in President Harri-
sons admirable letter of acceptance with
the vague and meaningless eseneralities by
which the Democratic candidate seeks to
commend himself. The resolutions were
enthusiastically received and adopted unan-
imously.
Whitclaw Reid speaks
Whitelaw Reid next spoke. saying that
following a. he did Platt and Brookfield.
and to be followed by Miller, Depev. and
Hiscock, his speech was already made and
this was the opportunity of his life for 81
lence. He then eulogizcd the admiuistra-
uon. and thought that the question whether
