for Associate Justice of the Court OF APP
peals in place OF Judge Francis Nj. tInch'
who will shortly be retired by reaching
the age limit. The prearranged pro-
gramme was carried out with remarkable
celebrity and smoothness. everything
that Thomas c. Platt predicted would be
done last Saturday was done to-day, ana
except for few breezy moments the
proceeding were lacking in excitement.

old ticket Of 1888 WAS nominated by ac-
cIamation without single ballot.
The platform with the excise plank
omitted. was carried aud motion for
the maintenance of Sunday laws offered
by Warner Miller was tackled STRONG
efforts were made for liberal resolutions
on excise and home rule, but they were
defeated, and the convention went to the
other extreme and placed the party OF
record as favoring the enforcement OF
Sunday laws in the interest OF labor and
morality. The wording OF the resolution
is somewhat vague, and 1t may mean
great deal or very nttle sccordlng 70 tne
standpoint from which 1t is viewed.
Congressman Sherman of Utica was
temporary Chairman, and Senator Lexow
OF investigation committee lame was
permanent Chairman.
The convention indorsed the admins
tration OF Governor Morton, and ex-
pressed the hope that he would be nomi-
mated for the Presidency. Inc RESOLUTION

'.The Republicans of New York State.
in convention assem- bled. cordially in
dorse the administration OF Governor
Morton, and express the hope that his
name may be presented to the National
Republican Convention OF 1896 as the
chief Repub blican OF the Empire State for
the first place in the Presidential ticket
The platform adopted IS as follows:
The Republican party of New York,
hy its delegates in convention ASSEM- bled,
makes the following declaration OF Its
principles:
"N oenounce the Democratic Admin
istration FOR its false and mis!eading state
1ments OF the public expenditures, and for
its failure to promptly pay tile Natlon'5
honest debts. that il may be able 10 pre-
sent delusive statement OF the Treas
ury's actual condition.
I'VE welcome the dawn of returning
prosperity, following the Republican
victories of 1894, those victories giving
surance that the Democratic party has
been rendered powerless to work 1urther
obstruction to American industries, aud
that the duty of repairing Democratic In
roads upon them will be prosecuted with
untiring vigor, and NE denOunce the at
tempts of the Administration newspaper
organs 10 mislead and befog the public in
regard to the real character and extent OF
the restoration OF wages. With COM
plete return OF the Republican party to
power, and the enactment OF such remed-
ial legislation as may be necessary, we
look tor full prosperity, such as marked
70 of lis Q0VGFnmpnI of
the country.
The broader field of our relations with
foreign powers, where American doctrine
should have been the supreme guide and
inspiration, the Administration, by yield
ing established rights, trucking 10 for
eign influence and the wholesale sacrifice
OF American prestige and national dig
nifty, has furnished an unmatched spec
lace OF Federal disgrace ana imDecilty.
I'VE believe that The Nations honor as
well as the material interests Of our cltl-
zens demand the maintenance OF ma
tional currency. Every dollar, whether
OF gold, silver or paper notes, should be
OF equal value and equal debt-paylng or
purchasing power, and we declare our
unalterable opposition TO the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver. Any lnila-
ton OF the currency OF the country by
degrading the standard OF value 10 this
basis Is distinctly repudiated.
ave denounce the democratic party
for the robbery OF millions OF dollars from
the Woodworking farmers OF this State
through free wool and the reduction OF
the tariff upon agricultural products by
the Wilson bill, ana we demand adequate
protection for our farm products.
Last fall for the first time in twelve
years the people OF this State lntrusted
their politics to the control of the Repub-
Ucans The party was charged with the
duty OF righung great wrongs which had
been embodied into law by discredIted
Democratic Administration. That duty
has been discharged with courage and
fidelity. The reform measures which the
people Of the ely ot New ork asked
Ior and which were Indispensable 10 the
complete overthrow OF the corrupt polItl-
cal machine that had so long plundered
and betrayed the great metropolis OF the
state, were, with single exception, en-
acted into law in the face OF united
Democratic opposition.
I'VE congratulate the people on the sue
cess Of the long struggle which the Re-
publican party has waged Tor reform. 1ne
blanket ballot promises relief To voters
from the cumbersome and complex sys-
TEN OF voting which prevailed last year.
Every advance toward honest electoral
reform has been made step by step against
the determined opposition OF the DEM
oorscy OF the State.
'The interests OF labor have been care
fully protected by the Republican party
in State as we'll as National affairs, and
we urge the addition and extension OF the
principles OF arbitration in determining
disputes between employer and em-
ployes
I'VE heartily indorse the wise and ex-
cellent administration of Governor Nor
ton. lie has been mindful OF the desires
OF the people, and he has always been III

public career Of unquestioned distinction.
