WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE PLATFORM.
| The resolutions. which were unani
| mously adopted with rousing cheers, aftei
| having been read in a clear voice by eX'
| Senator George Raines, contained as one oil
| their most noticeable features the follow
| ing Recommendation to extend the suffragS
| to women
The Democratic party OF New York has con
| forred upon women the right Of franchise IL
| the election OF school comnissioners-and WI
| recommend to the constitutional convention

frage to women.
The platform, which is broad and long. !
framed with humorous planks of congratula
tOn to the Democracy. IL refers to the bench
arising from two years Of complete Democrati
control in the Empire state, and then, pledg
ing u continuance of similar adminlstratly
benefits, the resolutions conclude with ma
| tional issues, as follows:
| As TO Federal issues and policies, we re
| affirm the principles of the last State and ma
tional Democratic platforms, so empha ticall
endorsed by the vote OF the people last Nc
vember. The transfer of the Legislative an
executive branches Of the Federal govern
ment TO Democratic hands was none too 500
to correct-even ii too late to avert-the wide
spread distress caused by un5ound and plutS
cratic Republican legislation
| EMPHATIC FOR REPEAl- !
To the repeal OF these unwse and uniui
laws OF Republican origin the Democrat

reconstruct our currency and tax laws in az
cordance with popular needs and SCUM
political princlnles--thereby restoring conf
denco among the people and re-establishin
, the conditions of commercial and industri

and confirmed tho utterances Of the DEM
cratic State platform OF last year in d
| nunciation of the Sherman law providing II
l | tho compulsory purchase and storage OF silvi
bullion, and In reiterating that condemnatle
we again demand the speedy and uncond
| tionaI repeal of the laws obnoxious and II
furious provisions.
We express our warm appreciation of Il
patriotism of the soldiers and sailors Of Il
+ | Union in the war for its preservation, NJ
we favor Just and liberal provision for all di
G abted Union soldiers, their widows and d
: pendeuts,
/ We congratulate President Cleveland nj
+ the country upon the suspicious beginning
his administration, and pledge him our earne
support in all his efforts TO secure tue ena'
ment Of Democratic measures and the carr
ing out OF Democratic policies We especisl
| approve his patriotic action in converting Co
l. gress In extraordinary session Tor the purpo
/. | of Kidding the country OF the reckless tinanc
| legislation passed by the Republican Congrf
\ in 1880, against the unanimous vote OF
q Democratic members.
n We heartily indorse the popular adminlsti
10 sion of Governor Roswell p. Flower. He
