 declaration against free trade and an unpatriotic foreign policy on the oth- CT hand.
 The senator touched upon the late widespread business depression, the falling off in the public revenues, in- crease of debt, the hauling down of the American flag at Honolulu and the ol- legged abandonment of the Monroe doe Urine by the administration, and said the cry went up, "Oh, for one year of republican national government"
 Referring to return prosperity the senator remarked that 1t would take long time to make up the deficiencies due to the democratic stupidity, Pass ing to state affairs MT. LeXow de- clared that good government as ap- piled to the moral and political condi- tion of the people had the all-controll- ing issue. The main question for the people to decide was which party aver aged higher in point of ability. He asserted that the democratic party had learned nothing and had unlearned nothing. It was the same old combina- tion of the state machine with the same old municipal rings and municipal bosses under the same discredited leaders operating for the same pur- poses and ends.
 MT Miller offered the following plank to be added to the platform:
 "We favor the maintenance of the Sunday laws in the interest of labor and morality"
 The ticket named by the convention is as follows:
 For judge of the court of appeals, Celora E. Martin of Broome county; for secretary of state, John Palmer of Albany; for comptroller. James A. Rob- erts of Erie; for treasurer A. B. Col win of Warren; for attorney general, T. E. Hancock of Onondaga; for state engineer, Campbell w. Adams of Oneida
 When Senator Lexow had concluded the report of the committee on resolu-
 tions was called for and Hamilton Fish handed up the platform.
 The platform follows: The republican party of New York by it's delegates in convention assembled makes the follow ing declaration of it's principles: We reaffirm our adherence to the American policy of protection, and we demand such legislat ton as will afford an adequate income for the maintenance of the government while giving en- couragement to American capital and remunerat tive wages to American la Dor.
 We denounce the Wilson tariff with it's iniquitous income tax attachment
 (happily declared unconstitutional by the supreme court of the United States) as the first step accomplished in the campaign for the annihilation of Amer ican industries begun by Grover Cleve- land in December, 1887 This measure is neither a tariff for protection, nor a
 tariff for revenue, but tariff-for-def cit, failing by scores of millions year to raise the amount of ofrevenue necessary for the expense of our national govern ment. We denounce the democratic ad- ministration for it's gross misma mage ment of the finances of the nation. It has added more than $165, 100000 to the national debt and burdens of peo- pie, and there is every evidence that this increase is to be continued. We denounce the democratic administra- ton for it's false statements of the pub- lie expenditures and for it's failure to promptly pay the nations honest debts, that it may be able to present delu- sive statement of the treasury's actual condition.
 We welcome the dawn of returning prosperity following the republican vic tor af ioto ,.crsxr surance that the democratic party has been rendered powerless to work fur ther destruction to American indus tries, and that the duty of repairing democratic inroads upon them will be prosecuted with untiring vigor. And We denounce that attempts of the admin l istration newspapers to mislead and be- | fog the public in regard to the real character and extent of recent restora- turn of the republican party to power and the enactment of such remedial l Legislation as the conditions plainly require we confidently look for a renew al of the prosperity that marked the quarter century of it's government of the country.
 In behalf of American citizens in other countries who are entitled to the most watchful and unyielding defence and protection in all emergencies we de- nounce the infamous policy of the fed eral administration which has made the stars and stripes the emblem of su- pine neglest and wretched incapacity In the broader field of our re- lations with foreign powers where American doctrines should have been ! the supreme guide and inspra- l tion of the administra ton by yield ! ing established rights trucking to for eign influence and the wholesale sacri- ! flee of American prestige and national dignity has furnished an unmatched l spectacle of federal disgrace and imbe- cility.
 We believe that the nations honor as well as the material interests of our citizens demands the maintenance of a l national currency, every dollar of which, whether in gold, silver or paper notes. shall be of equal value and purchasing power, and We declare our unalterable opposition to the free and unlimited | coinage of silver. Any imitation of the currency by degrading the standard value to the silver basis is distinctly re- pudiated.
 We denounce the democratic party for
