Ahambra Rink at 1888 this afternoon
b,, Chairman Wideman, of the state COM
rnittee. Mr.. Wideman, announced that
he had been requested by the state COM
rnIttee to name Hon. Daniel G. Griffin
of Watertown as temporary chairman of
the convention. Mr.. Griffin's appearance
on the stage was met with an outburst
of enthusiasm from the delegates
When Mr.. Griffin had finished speaking
at 107 o'clock the band played the Star
Snangled Banner" and the delegates rose
during it's rendition and applauded.
Chairman Griffin then announced that
the business of the convention should be
conducted hastily, and he asked that
the delegates hand to the secretaries the
names of their representatives who are
TO 90 to Indianapolis and on the various
committees. The list of delegates was
then read.
There were no delegates present from
the counties of Allegheny, Chenango, Del
aware Essex, Franklin, Genessee, Green,
Livingston, Niagara, Orleans, Putnam,
Schoharia, Sullivan, T1oga and Warren.
The usual committees were named and
q recess was taken at 1870 until o'clock.
The committee on resolutions held an in
teresting two hours session and discussed
draft of platform submitted by Wallace
MacFarlane.
The convention did not meet at 3 o'clock,
but waited until the committee on reso-
lutions had finished it's deliberations. In
the meantime the delegates had assem-
bled in the hall and everything was in
readiness for the convention to proceed as
soon as the committee on resolutions came
in.
At 3:42 temporary Chairman Griffin called
the convention to order and stated that
while they were awaiting the reports of
the committees, DR.. William Everett, of
Quincy, Mass. would address the dele
gates. DR.. Everett has served his party in
congress, and when introduced said that
Massachusetts stood shoulder to shoulder
with New York for honest money, honest
politics and united union.
Mr.. Everetts reference to New York's
great President, Grover Cleveland, arous-
ed the greatest enthusiasm and the dele
gates waved their hats and cheered vocif
erously.
Chairman Sutro, of the committee on
permanent organization, submitted his re-
port naming Charles S. Fairchild as per-
manent chairman of the convention, and
the four delegates at large and their al
ternates, together with the permanent sec
retaries. This report was adopted.

Theodore Sutro, of New York city, were
appointed a committee to escort Mr.. Fair
child to the platform. Mr. Fairchild was
warmly received by the delegates.
Mr.. Fairchild's announcement of the in
tention of the Buffalo democratic conven-
tion to indorse the Chicago nominees in
order to preserve the regularity of their
organization was enthusiastically COM
mended. His declaration that true patriots
should save the Chicago leaders from their
own unwise declarations was likewise we'll
received.
The committee on credentials reported
that there were no contests The report
was adopted. Mr.. Fairchild who was chair
man Of the resolutions committee then
presented the following platform, which
was read and adopted unanimously, with
frequent enthusiastic outbursts OF ap-
prOval.
THE democrats of the state of New
York. assembled in convention at SYRIA
euse adopt the following platform:
The maintenance of the constitution in
It's integrity the preservation of the ma
tlonal credit unimpaired, and the national
honor unsullied, the freedom of the indi-
Ndual to engage in all the pursuits of life
unnampered by the interference of pater-
nal government, and the right of every
.citlzen to receive the reward of his labor
'undminished by a debased standard of
values, are fundamental and essential
principles of the democratic party.
we repudiate the Chicago platform and
Ns supplement- the populist platform adop-
ted at st. Louis, because both violate and
attack all these democratic principles
ia iDa of
Chlcago convention It's candidate for
PRESIDENT stands as such upon the pop1-
nst platform, with it's demands for ur-
united paper money, distributed direct to
the people and its socialistic and anti
american demands for the extensions or
paterhal government as he does upon the
platform adopted at Chicago. He active
sought the populist nomination. Hav-
ils optanned 1t, he has never rejected
~ ana he has never repudiated the dec
iaratons of the populist platform.
more than all, we deplore the out
uurst OF sectional hate, which attended

ue uetestable attempt to divide a demo-
sidue people, all standing with euuat
iIshts and opportunities before the law,
i lito rlch and poor and under the stimu-

ueat with reckless contempt the views
" uie large and earnest minority in tho
convention who sought to confine its Ut

principles
dIis rms platform is accepted by the presi-
uential nominee of the convention, in the
spirit IN which it was adopted. Every
Speech he delivers is fired with iniam-
~ict mI'ory appeals to the poor against the

ag5 aUCial effort to obtain votes by creating

SSnong our people. We appeal to our
oenocratc fellow citizens seriously to
outsider this. which is the gravest fea-
