proval of the convention
The delegates from the twenty-first
congressional district are reported to
be evenly divided and unable to
agree upon members of the commit
tees or national delegates. Under
the resolution already adopted the
question was referred to the commit
tee on delegates and electors for de-
termination.
General Sickles was made perma-
neut chairman, and spoke at some
length.
The report of the committee on
resolutions was then read, as follows.
The Democratic party of New
York renews the pledge of fidelity
to tariff reform and the Democratic
faith to tradition as affirmed in ma
tional platforms from 1875 to 1888,
as well as in the state platforms con-
current with the opening of Gov
ernor Tilden's and the close of Gov
ernor HIPS long, thrice approved,
and alike illustrious service in the
chief magistracy of the state.
The platform of 1874 is epitomized,
and the Democratic platform con-
tinued: We now, as then, stead
fastly adhere to the principles of
sound finance. We are against the
coinage of any silver dollar which is
not of the intrinsic value of every
other dollar of the United States.
We therefore denounce the Sherman
silver law under which our silver
output is damned up at home as a
false pretense, but an actual him
drance of the return to free BIZ
coinage, as tending only to
produce change from one kind of
monometalism to another, We
therefore unite with the friends of
honest money everywhere in stigma
tizing the Sherman silver basis law
as no solution of the gold and silver
question, and as fit appendage to
he subsidy and bounty swindle.
The Mckinley bill is worse than
the war tariff, the Blaine reciprocity
humbug, squandering the surplus,
he advancing deficit, defective CEN
sus, and falsitled representation,
and the revolutionary proceedings
II the billion dollar congress, are all
Justly condemned by the peoples
great uprising.
The platform refers with grateful
pride to the infiexibility and the
sound finance of Governor Hill. !
The Democrats of New York, says
he platform, point TO the nomina-
ion of Hill TO the Office Of president
~ a fit expression Of Democratic |
rait b and tradition aud Of our settled |
lurpose to rescue this perverted |
government from the clutch of auto
rats and plutocrats, from a spend
hrift administration, excessive tax,
| I'd a debased money, and the dele
rates selected by thib convention
ire instructed TO present to the
rational Democratic convention the
lame Of David Il. Hill, Democrat
who has led his party from victory
o victory for several successive
Years, and who has never known
lefeat, as candidate for president
II tie United States. The delegates
re further instructed 10 vote as a
init.
When the passage instructlDg for
Hill was read the air was shaken by
Tremendous outburst Of applause,
md, after the resolutions were
unanimously adopted, a committee
vas appointed TO walt upon Hill
md request him 10 address the con-
'entIon. He soon arrived, and
iene raj Sickles presented him 20
