/ t.alf fk,n
cuiturist, the business man, and of every
sacred interest i'll the Empire State of the
Union. The Republican party of the
State of New \ York. in convention assem-
! bled. accepts this challenge, and pledges
Itself to defend against all assault the
rights of the workman and his employer
! both wantonly invaded by reckless dema-
gogues."
Then follows an arraignment of the
/ Democratic Administration, declaring:
Its most important achievement thus far
has been fifty characterized 10y the Chief
Executive as one OF perfidy and dis
/ honor. 1t has rewarded the largest con-
tributors TO its campaign fund by the be-
stowal of foreign missions; denouncing
! trusts, 1t permitted one of them to form
ulate its tariff bill; promising a continu-
| ance of the vigorous foreign policies es-
taDliShed by the lamented James q.
| Blaine, ii substitutes policy of iniamy,'
when Hawaii was freely offered up; de-
nouncing the Sherman Act as a cowardly
makeShitt, it was enabled to repeal the
| silver purchasing clause of the Act only
by the help OF Republican Senators; ar
| raigning protection as a fraud upon
| labor, it passed a mongrel protec-
tive measure so tainted with scan
! dial that it barely escaped the
veto of a Democratic President; advocat-
ing tree raw materials and an extension
Of our foreign trade. it destroyed all the
Il
by President HARRISON; pledging itself to
the payment of just and liberal pen
sions.' it treats the Union soldiers as if
the u. a. X. badge was a badge of beg
gary and brigandage; pledging retrench-
! ment, ii exceeded at the last session of
Congress the expenditures OF the corre-
| spending session OF the last Republican
Congress by 81, ,000, 600 in the face of de-
creasing revenues. and after it had added
500, 1000, 900 to the public debt; while pre-
tending to be in favor OF individual free
dom, it fastened to enact an odiouS in
come tax bill, empowering deputy col
lectorS to enter the homes of citizens and
compel them, by threats of official sum-
i mons and heavy penalties, to disclose
their private affairs.
"We denounce northern Democratic
| Congressman for permitting Southern
members to protect the chief products OF
their section, while removing or largely
reducing the protective duties on the pro-
ducts of the North. We favor an honest
dollar, and oppose any effort whatever by
the removal OF tax of State bank issues or
the free coinage of silver to lower our
currency standard and we favor an inter-
national agreement which shall result in
the use of both gold and silver as cir
culating medium"

is denounced, especial reference being
given to his veto of the bill to provide
funds Tor the police investigation of New
Y ork city.

grave responsibility rests upon the Re-
publican party of New York. 1t is our
duty to place in nomination to-day a
man who is not only able TO carry the
State, but one who Will win victory of
such magnificent proportions as to sat
isfy the people of the nation and the peo-
pie of the commercial world. The Re-
publicans are coming back to power in
1885, and are coming back tc stay"

aisle and took the platform. The Fassett
Quiet was restored, and Mr.. Baxter be-
gan his speech, placing in nomination
