Has it been given you? And if not,
who is responsible for the re-enact-
ment of the crime of '73? The social
ed Democratic party has not only fall
sified its pledges to the people on this
subject, but today the staunchest sup
porters of Mr.. Cleveland's financial
policy are filibustering in the House to
prevent the coinage of the seigniorage
silver bullion now lying idle in the
treasury. You have listened for years
to the denunciation of National
Banks, with the hope that when the
Democracy was given "a chance" their
power would be destroyed, and Con-
gress, in compliance with the terms of
the constitution, would resume control
of the finances of the nation.
Instead of fulfilling these promises
the administration is now engaged in

while they perputuate their wholesale

You were told as an excuse for the

new YORK POLITICS.
The Republican Convention at Sara
tOga Organizes Temporarily and
Takes a Recess.
OUTLINE OF THE PLATFORM.
Governor Flower Declines to De a
Candidate For denomination.
His Reasons.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 19.-The
state Republican convention called to
nominate q full state ticket, was raped
to order here at 1910 p. m. Hon. Lem
uel Eli Quigg Of New York city, was
made temporary chairman.
DR.. Carey of Saratoga offered prayer,
at the conclusion of which Temporary
Chairman Quigg began his address,
which was frequently interrupted with
applause. He arraigned the Democratic
party for the passage Of the new tariff
bill and the income tax, and denounced
the machine Democracy Of New York
city. He said the outlook for the Re
publican party in the coming election
was most encouraging.
During Mr.. Quigg's speech, his sallies
at Tammany Hall and the Democratic
party were heartily applauded. He said
that Senator Hill was the only man In
the Democratic party which was faith
full to his trust, at which there was a
burst of applause. During the address
Mr.. Quigg read a dispatch announcing
that Governor Flower had declined to
be a candidate for governor. There
were cries of "Good," Good" and
applause, and cheers. Members of the
convention expressed the greatest sur
prise at Governor Flowers action.
The usual committees were appointed,
their chairmen being as follows:
Credentials, William A. Sutherland;
permanent organization, Cornelius Van
Colt; resolutions, s. S. Payne.
Messrs. Kenyon, Fox and Gleason
We're appointed secretaries, and at 1856
the convention took a recess until 4:30.
What the Platform VIII Be.
The platform win stand by. bimetal-
ism. 1t will condemn the attack on
American industries in the tariff bill,
and its purpose of fostering the South
t and spelling the commercial industries
of the North, and it will condemn the
broken Democratic promises and point

have brought about"
Referring to the income tax, it viii
D say that it is a rabid and un-Americar
r measure, violating personal rights and
putting q blemish on u claim to lead
the world in our liberal, free govern
a ment. 1t will say that the Democrats
opposed what they calleda 'force BILL
yillifed it in every possible manner
and have now enacted a force bill
of their own, authorizing fedora
! officers to pry into peoples private af
fairs. Relating to the American Pro
tective association, they point to TIN
constitutional provision which permit
the free exercise and enjoyment of re
ligious profession and worship, withou
discrimination or preference, and rec
ommend its being strictly followed.

Republicans of Lake county rave an
important work before them. Now that
its leading opponent, the populist party,
has selected its ticket, the republicans
have the field in full view and they
ought to SO plan that they a go out
and possess it. The lines are laid down
SO far as the populists are concerned
and the character Of their nominees IN
| dictate very clearly to what political ele-
ments they are going to appeal. FIRST
their legislative ticket emphasizes all
that is extreme in temperance and Wis
| ~ionary in legislation. Committed 70 all
| the idiosyncracies of the Omaha M
| Mitchell platforms, and pledged by res
| olutions oil the convention TO the cure OF
state evils that do not exist, we should
expect such men, il sent to the legisia'
ture, in pursuing their fads, to frltter
away time and overlook entirely the
really safe aud progressive legislation OF
the dav. There is too much at stake
these trying times, in both state n
national politics, to send men to the
legislature who have only fads to air.
Our national policy should be dominated
bv the American idea Of government,
not the foreign. The state, through It's
legislature, should contribute TO this
idea by sending the proper senator ano
representatives to the national capital
and the county should guard its share
in the great work by sending men Of
L.. positively 4 American ideas to the state
legislature. Here devolves the respon
4 sibi,itv upon republicans in the coming
e county convention of choosing the bes
. men in the party to represent the Amer
: lean or home idea Of government-Pro
lection to American industry and Amer
lean labor whether by wise Legislation
on finance, taxation or morals. No la
reforms are of enduring merit. In
idlosyncracies Of populism must D
guarded against. Republicans W
to themselves that all personal asplri
tions be subordinated 10 the genera
good. The party should not divide o
lines of personal following, for elthe
United States senator or state senate
!" Lightning rods should he scarce and tn
q candidates for the legislature should
2 men who are first Of all republican,
= second, men who will go to Pierre will
. out prejudice and be governed by TT
8 majority decision of the republican ca
A Gus, thus insuring the return OF a r
B publican United States senator. AS
how our candidates stand on thei
a points there should be no doubt. Ih
is not a time TO send q man possessed
be populistic proclivlties TO the legislatul
~ who is liable at any moment to jun
over into the camp of the enemy to gra
ify his personal feelings in the matte
He must be a man who will represei
the people of his party, stand by ii
party councils and aims, and uphold I'll
banner of republicanism. To the sele
ton of such men the energies OF I'll
w delegates in our county convention ne
ca week should be directed and il Il

A Delaware Marriage Formaiity That

1he populist convention yesterday
was a smooth and yet evidently a spon-
taneous affair. A mere spectator would
naturally suppose the ticket, evolved
itself by the gradual evolution oil a free
ballot. But a little insight disclosed a
great deal of patchwork. Either the
cast iron rulings of the chair or the
awkward determination OF the conven-
ton put it in position to abuse candl-
dates numerically. A ballot was called
informal and at the same time 1t was
held to be as rigidly formal as any un-
varying rule of parliamentary law. This
enabled those who were toying with the
convention to throw away votes on the
first ballot, complimentary or otherwise,
| on candidates who were earnestly in the
race and then on the second ballot to
reverse the Judgment Of the convention
and sit down, hard, on the elected can
didate. 1t was a ~despicable piece OF
business and both individuals and the
convention were frequently made the
sport or design OF q few plotters.
A glance at the ticket nominated
shows the result OF the manipuiations
The first great end to serve was TO Dol
ster up the state populist ticket and thu
second to win the Legislature. To &C
complish this a legislative tickle
was put up by a crooked transaction
and several more crooked transaction
