Empire State Sounds Keynote to Ma
tionaI Campaign.
The New York State Democratic
convention met in Albany yesterday,
and under the control of D. B. HILL,
proceeded with its business with re-
markable unanimity. The mention Of
Of Judge Parkers name was received
with great enthusiasm, and the follow
ing platform, which may be regarded
as a forecast Of the national platform
was adopted:
The Democrats of New York, in re-
newing their pledge of fidelity to the
essential principles Of Jeffersonian
Democracy, as repeatedly enunciated In
our national and state platforms, make
these further declarations upon the
national issues of the hour, reserving
an expression upon state issues until
the fall convention, when state candi-
dates are to be nominated.
!. This is a government Of laws. not
Of men: one law for presidents, cabi-
nets and people; no usurpation; no
executive GIlCIOtCAIIlSill uPoh lhC iS6iS
lative or judicial department.
2. We must keep inviolate the pledges
Of our treaties; We must renew and
reinvigorate within ourselves that re-
spect for law and that love Of lib
erty and Of peace which the spirit of
military domination tends inevitably
to weaken and destroy.
8. Unsteady national policies and
restless spirit of adventure engender
alarms that check our commercial
growth; let us have peace, to the end
that business confidence may be restor-
ed and that our people may again In
tranquility enjoy the gains of their
toll.
4. Corporations chartered by the
state must be subject to just regula-
ton by the state in the interest of
the people: taxation for public pur-
poses only; no government partnership
with protected monopolies.
6. Opposition to trusts and combina-
tions that oppress the people and stifie
healthy industrial competition.
6. A check upon extravaganza in
public expenditures; that the burden
of the peoples taxes may be lightened.
7. Reasonable revision Of the tariff;
needless duties upon imported raw ma
terials weigh heavily upon the manu-
facturer are a menace to the Ameri-
can wage Garner, and by increasing the
cost of production shut out our pro-
ducts from the foreign markets.
8. The maintenance Of state rights
and home rule; no GENERALIZATION.
9. Honesty in the public service;
vigilance in the prevention of fraud,
firmness in the punishment OF guilt
when detected.
10. The impartial maintenance of
the rights Of labor and Of capital, no
unequal discrimination; no abuse of
the powers Of law for favoritism or op-
preston.
The Democracy Of New York favors
the nomination for president Of the
United States Of that distinguished
Democrat and eminent jurist OF our
own state-Alton Brooks Parker; and
the delegates selected by this conven-
ton are hereby instructed to present
and support such nomination at the
approaching national convention.
That the said delegates are hereby
further instructed to act and vote as
q unit in all matters pertaining to said
convention, in accordance with the Will
Of the majority Of the said delegates
and the said delegates are further au-
thorized to fill any vacancies that may
arise from any cause in said delega-
ton, in case Of the absence Of both the
delegate and alternate.
