SARATOGA, N. Y, Oct. 6.-The Demo-
cratic state convention met for the sec
ond days proceedings at II o'clock this
morning. The report of'the committee
on contested seats was made by james
W. Ridgeway, Of Brooklyn, and in every
case seated anti-CIeveIand contestants.
except in one instance where the dele
CATION was evenly divided. The report
was adopted under the previous ques-
ton, upon a roll call, by vote Of $40 to
"a. Nhe temporary organization was
made permanent. and Chairman Lock-
wood, without making another speech,

THE PLATFORM.
The platform, after congratulations to
the party and the people of the state
for the way state matters have been
managed since the Democrats came into
power, returns to national aflairl and
President Cleveland as follows:
To the federal issue and policy we re-
affirm the principles OF thestate and M
tional Democratic platforms, soemphat-
ica.sy endorsed by the vote OF the peo-
pie last November. The transfer OF the
legislative and executive branches OF
the federal government to the Demo-
cratic party was none too soon to cor
rect il even too late to avoid the wide
spread distress caused by unsound and
plutocratc Republican legislation. To
tho repeal OF unwise and unjust laws OF
Republican origin the Democratic party
ispledged and may safely be trusted tore
construct our currency and tax laws in
accordance with popular needs and
sound political principles. thereby re-
storing confidence among the people
and re-establishing the conditions OF
commercial and industrial prosperity.
on, HAVE THEY?
Recent events have emphasized and
confirmed the utterances OF the Demo-
cratic platforms of 1891 and 1892, and
the Democratic national platform OF
last year in denunciation of the Sher-
man law providing the compulsory pur-
chase and storage OF silver bullion, and
in reiterating that condemnation, we
again demand the speedy and uncondi-
tional repeal Of tho laws obnoxious
and injurious provisions.
We express our warm appreciation OF
the patriotism OF the soldiers and
sailors OF the union in the war for its
preservation, and we favor just and lib
eral provisions for all disabled union
soldiers, their widows and depend
ents. We congratulate President
Cleveland and the country upon the
auspicious beginning OF his administra-
tion and pledge him our earnest sup
port in all his efforts to secure the en-
actment OF Democratic measures and
the carrying out OF Democratic policies.
We especially approve his patriotic ac-
tion in convening congress in extraor-
dinary session for the purpose of rid
ding the country OF the reckless finan-
cial legislation passed by the Republi-
can congress in 1890 against the
unanimous vote OF the Democratic
members.
One clause on state issues recon-
mends that the constitutional conven-
ton, to be held next year, shall provide
for an extension OF the elective fran
chise 10 women.
