Saratoga, ~ Y, Sept. 2O.-The Re
publican state convention nominated
Levi r. Morton for governor and !
Charles Il. Sexton for lieutenant gov
ernor. Both nominations were made !
on the first ballot and We're then made
unanimous
Congressman S. Il. Payne, chairman /
Of the committee on resolutions, pre-
scented the platform, which extends
greetings to the Republicans OF Penn !
syiyania, Rhode Island, Oregon, Yer
mont and Maine for their prompt and |
just Judgment of an incompetent Demo |
cratic administration" The state Dem
ocr;,tic administration is denounced for
extravaganza. National affairs are re-
ferred to as follows:
The Democratic president of the
United States and the Democratic
chairman OF the ways and means com
mttee of the house Of representatives
have announced that war against the
protected industries of the country has
but just begun, and that it is to be pros
ecuted to the bitter end On behalf OF
the wage Garner, the agriculturist, the
business man and of every sacred inter-
est in the Empire State of the Union,
the Republican party Of the State Of
New York, in convention assembled,
accepts this challenge and pledges itself
to defend against all assault the rights
of the worlingman and his employer,
both wantonly invaded by reckless
demagogues."
Then follows an arraignment of the
Democratic administration, declaring:
Its most important achievement thus
far has been fifty characterized by the
chief executive as one OF pertidy and
diShonOr. 1t has rewarded the largest
contributors to it's campaign fund by
the bestoWal Of foreign missions; de-
nouncinS trusts, it permitted one of
them to formulate it's tariff bill; prom
Using q continuance Of the vigorous for
eign politics established by the lament
ed James G. Blaine, it substituted q
policy OF infany' when Hawaii was
freely offered up; denouncing the Sher-
man act as a 'cowardly makeshift,' it
was enabled to repeal the silver pur-
chasing clause of the act only by the
help of Republican senator's; arraigning
protection as a fraud upon labor it
passed a mongrel protective measure,
so tainted with scandal that it barely
escaped the veto Of a Democratic presi.
dent; advocating free raw materials
and an extension Of our foreign trade,
it destroyed all the profitable reciprocal
agreements made by president Harri-
son; pledging itself to the payment of
si,1S,t ~
Union soldier as if the Grand Army
badge was the badge of beggary aud
brigandage; pledging retrenchment, it
exceeded at the last session Of congress
the expenditures of the corresponding
session of the last Republican congress
by SGT 100000 in the face of decreasing
revenues and after it had added $50.
100000 to the public debt; while pre-
tending to be in favor of individual
freedom, it fastened to enact an obi
GUS income tax force BILL empowering
deputy collectors to enter the homes OF
citizens and compel them by threats
of official summons and heavy penalties
to disclose their private affairs.
I'VE denounce Northern Democratic
congressman for permitting Southern
members to protect the chief product;
OF their section, while removing, OF
largely reducing protective duties or
the products OF the North, thus permit
ting the South by legal enactment ii
time of peace to destroy our prosperity
and accomplish what it failed to do by
Illegal enactment in time of war. We
dcnounce the federal administration fol
surrendering in annual revenue SS, 5000.
900 on wool and imposing a burden
nearly ten times greater by leyying :
tax on sugar, the commOnest household
necessity.
I'VE favor an honest dollar and on
pose any effort toward the removal O.
the tax Oh state bank issues or the free
coinage of silver to lower our currenc,
standard, and we favor an information
al agreement which shall result in til,
use of both silver and gold as a cir
culating medium"
