country is due to republican misrule and
that prosperity can be only restored by
following our lead and placing our candi-
dates in power. We must not take the
risk Of falling, and no man who has led US
as our presiding officer has led US
Will allow US 90 forth without the inspir-
ing influence of his leadership. Cheers ]
BY all the ties that have bound him in
the past, by his hopes of the future, by
his duty to his country, demand that he
lead US now, and | nominate him for gov
ernor." PROLONGED cheers.
Mr.. Cochran then put the question to
the convention: viii you make the nomi-
nation unanimous2 Every one in the hall,
delegates, spectators and all, yelled
Aye" Turning to Senator Hill, Mr.
Cochran then said: Senator Hill,
we summon you TO your duty"
Col William L. Brown also spoke sec
onding the nomination of Senator Hill
Tor New York county. Half do en- dele
gates moved to suspend the roll cali for
nominations, but Senator Hill quickly re-
marked that he had had some experience
with legislative bodies and the rules of
the assembly under which the convention
was acting would not permit the suspen-
sion of the roll call, and directed the sec
retary to proceed.
The counties of Oneida, Orange,
Oswego, Queen, Rockland, ST Lawrence,
ECCAAOuaiAC1 obCuUbu, CuAOLh, IuOul phluS,
| wayne, WeStCheSter and Yates all
seconded Mr.. Hills nomination. Hit of
Albany withdrew the name of that
county, and moved that Hill be nomi-
mated by acclamation. A storm of ayes
shook the rafters, and there were no
nays. Secretary DeEorest declared Hill
nominated, but Hill declared the proceed
ings out Of order, and the roll call, of
course, was proceeded with. The vote
nDaOinnnC for Hill Another DOiCv
| outbreak followed.
When order was restored Lieut.. Gov.
Sheehan nominated Hon. Dan Lockwood
of Budalo for lieutenant governor, and he
was nominated by aCclamation. In a
similar manner Judge Gaynor was chosen
as candidate for Judge of the court of ap-
| peals. The routine business of the CON
| vention was quickly disposed of, and, at
! 3;45 o'clock, the convention adjourned
sine die.
The platform says: ''The Democratic
| party of New York congratulates the
| people of the state upon the restoration of
! business contidenEe and the improvement
| o. industrial conditions whi are follow
| ing the repeal by democratic congress
| of the panic bringing laws of its re-
! publican predecessors Unsound finan-
cial depression, driving out our
! gold and threatening a single
| oll CT SNduudTus d WOES6 JudD war JdTlI,
| unnecessarily adding to the cost of living,
diminishing federal revenues and over
| stimulating favored industries at the gen.
eral expense; prohigate expenditures,
| converting an assuring treasury surplus
! into an alarming deficit. These were the
| ill-conceived and Inflated products of re-
publican partisanship which brought the
country to the verge of financial
and industrial ruin, which wiped out
roaA
| tens of thousands of men out of work,
| closed factories, destroyed business,
| brought thousands of deserving poor face
to face with starvation, and inflicted gen.
| eral distress upon the Americans. The
complete transfer of the government to
the Democratic party was too late to
avert these terrible evils; it
could only remove the causes and
repair the injury. We therefore rejoice
| that by the repeal of the Sherman act for
| the purchase and storage of silver
| bullion all fear of deprecated currency
has been allayed. and faith has been re-
| stored in the ability of the government to
| maintain constant parity between its
! gold and silver coinage; that by the re-
peal OF the Mckinley tariff law the inor-
| dlnate taxation OF the many for
the benefit of the few, has been
notably diminished, and in the place
! of inequitable and mOnstrous duties
which have starved eindustries and
overfed others, the tarif schedules have
| been ad justed so that while a1Ording am
| pie safeguards for American labor they
reduce price of necessities of life and
encourage the promotion of in
| dustry by cheapening the cost of
many raw materials used in manufac-
lures, and by reducing expenditures
wherever possible, and by provision for
! additional revenues the legitimate de-
mands upon the federal treasury
| will no longer exceed the gov
| ernment's income and necessitate
| an increase in the public debt
| debt; concur with President Cleveland
| that the new tariff law does not embody
the full measure of tariff reform, but with
him also we endorse It's provisions for
| cheaper and freer raw materials aud
! lower taxes. AS a subs tantial recognition
of democratic principles, we bespeak for
! the law an impartial trial, confident that
| it's successful operation will convince
the people of the wisdom of the demo-
| cratic policy, and induce them to further
| extension While faVoring therefore
such wise modification and readjustment
of particular schedules blythe enactment
| of separate bills as future conditions and
fulfllment of democratic pledges may re-
| quire we deprecate, pending fair trial
of the law by actual operation, any
! further general LarlH revision WnlCn un-
der present considerations would
be likely to retard improvement
in business and thereby pro
long the evils brought upon the
country by republican folly. We com
mend the enactment by the democratic
congress of other measures of public i'm
portance demanded by the people, par
I ticularly the repeal of the federal elec-
tion law, and the stringent legislation for
| the suppression of trusts. We redttirm
the declaration of principles contained in
| the democratic national platform OF loJ2,
and we reiterate the expressions of recent
state democratic platforms in favor OF
! honest money. economy in public ex-
penses. lust and liberal pensions for
ali disabled union soldiers, their widows
and dependents, and strict adherence TO
the true principles OF civil service reform.
| We commend the efforts made By the
senators and Representatives in congress
from this state to avert the imposition
of the present income tax, and we record
our regret that the reform of the tarlt TO
which all democrats were committed was
embarrassed by ENGRAVING on its provi-
sions direct tax to which many demo-
Gratis were strenuously opposed
We heartily endorse the honest, pure
and high ideals which have characterized
tbe administration of Presi lent Cleveland,
and we renew 10 him the same pledge OF
our earnest support in all his efforts TO
secure the enactment Of democratic
