! INTO SUBMISSION.
Go ask the miners OF Ohio; Michigan
and West Virginia.
Every dollar of the millions which
he has accumulated is tainted with
the sweat and blood Of the oppressed
and downtrodden laborer
He glories in the fact that his money
and his work secured lIcKinley's nom
nation, and expects them to secure
his election. With him are engaged
the great trusts and monopolies and
railroad corporations. It is their boast
that their money and their power can
not be beaten. These are the men who
are so Jealous of the interest of labor.
No my friends, our interests are all
bound up together. For twenty years
we have had constantly falling prices.
But let prices begin to rise and capital
will come from
ITS HIDING PLACES
and seek investment in profitable en-
terprises.
When Jesus of Nazareth spurned the
money changers from the temple, when
he denounced the Jewish hierarchy,
charging them with binding heavy
burdens too great to be borne, he was
denounced as a revolutionists and an
anarchist
When the people of the American
colonies protested against the unjust
taxation of Great Britain, they were
denounced as revolutionists.
When Richard Golden led his cru
SADIE against the injustice and oppres-
sive corn laws of Great Britain, he was
denounced as a revolutionist.
When William H. Seward pronounced
that this nation could not endure one
half slave and one-half free, he was de-
nounced as a revolutionist.
When Abraham Lincoln issued the
proclamation which struck the letters
from the limbs of these millions of
slaves, he was denounced as a revolu-
ZIONIST.
The cry of revolutionist and anarchist
have always been raised whenever
man has protested against existing
abuses in government and social order
But reforms have succeeded in spite
of the intolerance and persecution of
men high in power and social posi-
lions.
If we are true to our principles true
to our convictions, and go manfully
forward to the battle, we shall sue
coed in making this a government of
the people, by the people and for the
people, instead of a government of
trusts and monopoliess, by trusts and
monopolies and for the benefit of trusts
and monopolies.
Chairman Rockwell's speech was ap-
plauded mildly at intervals, but when
he said:
LET BRYAN BE ELECTED"
there was enthusiasm. More noise was
made by the spectators in the galleries
than by the delegates
B. Y. York of Kings read the report
of the committee on platform. 1t was
as follows:
The Democratic party of the state of
New York, in convention assembled,
unreservedly endorses the platform
adopted by the Democratic party at the
national convention held in Chicago on
July Z, 1896, cordially approves the NOM
nations there made, pledges to William
j. Bryan and Arthur Sewall its hearty
and active support, and declares as
it's deliberate judgment that never in
the history of the Democratic party has
a platform been written which embod-
led more completely the interests of the
whole people as distinguished from
those who seek legislation for private
benefit than that given to the country
by the national Democratic convention
of 1896 y
The Raines' liquor law is vigorously
denounced, and Governor Mortonns
ALLEGED EXTRAvAGANCE.
The removal of veterans from office
to make room for political favorites is
protested, and the building of good
roads advocated.
When he finished reading the platform
Mr.. York moved the previous question
on its adoption.
There were shouts of NO
Henry B. Purrey arose and protested.
He was raped down. The noessMere
more numerous than the yeas. The
vote was put and declared carried.
Purrey challenged the decision of the
chair, and demanded a roll call. There
was great confusion. The ayes were in
support of the chair and the noes were
a gainst The chairman announced that
226 votes, majority, had been cast TO
sustain the chair to % against.
On motion of Senator Guy the motion
to adopt the platform was made unan-
imous.
The following telegram was received:
New York, Sept. II.
Hon. Thomas f. Grady, Chairman,
Convention Hall, Buffalo, N. Y:
MY resignation from the national
committee has this day been forwarded
to the Hon. James K. Jones.
WILLIAM F. SHEEHAN."
Samuel L. Tilden, jr.. offered a reso-
luton, which was adopted, authorizing
the state committee to fill all vacan-
cies on the tickle.
Nominations for governor were then
declared in order. Louis w. Pratt of
Albany presented the name of John
Boyd Thacher.
Judge Frank Downs OF Binghamton
presented the name OF w. A. Sulzer.
John Boyd Thacher was nominated
ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
The vote of New York settled it, and
the nomination was made unanimous.
Colonel Danforth presented the name
of Wilbur F. Porter of Jefferson county
for lieutenant governor
William B. Reed of Kings moved that
the entire vote of the convention be
cast by the secretary for Wilbur +.
Porter. 1t was so ordered and Judge
Porter was declared the nominee for
lieutenant governor
Moses Shire of Erie made a brief
speech nominating Robert c. Titus for
associate Judge of the court Of appeals.
This nomination was seconded by many
delegates and made by reclamation.
Delegates began leaving the hall be-
fore the Judge of the court of appeals
had been nominated. No one seemed
to have much interest in the proceed
ings after the head of the ticket was
determined upon. The galleries went
out with a rush when their ideal, Will
liam Sulzer, was defeated.
At 2:4O the convention adjourned sine
die.
