THE PLATFORM.

The platform is largely devoted to
State issues 1t "arraigns before the
bar of public judgment the one man
power that to-day dominates the he
publican organization of New york
State.
1.-THE people elected Benjamin b.
Odell, Jr., to be Governor. In palpa-
BILE violation of his sworn obllgauoh
to be the imperial servant Oh the
whole people he has assumed to act
as State chairman of a political ma
chine His present dual relation con-
stitutes n public scandal and amounts
to the groSseSt contempt OF duty IN
the history of the State.
For the first time in its history
the Empire State has GoVerl1 1ol
whose personal integrity rests under
widespread suspicion. He has sur
rounded himself by high officials and
advisers under whose malgn influence
the public revenues of the State are
largely diverted to private proilt
Instead of being opposed to extrava-
gance and waste, the - administration
has become the actual promoter OF
adriot schemes to loot the public
treasury"
OF national issues the platform
SAYS:
I'VE indorse the Democratic ma
tional platform and resolutions adopt
Ell dl 81 LOUIS Ill JulN llSl DIS al CpiIi-
plete exposition of Democratic prin-
ciples and policies, upon all the liv
ing issues of the present time. We
approve the sound sentiments so adj
mirably expressed by our national
candidate in their speeches of accept
ance.
1--WE cordially endorse the Demo-
cratic nomination for president and
vice-preSdent of the United States.
New York has been greatly honored
by the Democracy of the nation i'm the
selection of the candidate whom it
presented for the presidency. An
able jurist. an answering Democrat
from his earliest participation in pub
lie affairs: a firm believer in conSti-
tutional government; n bold defender
of the rights of the people, always
consistently and sincerely a friend of
all who la Dor. never an advocate of
special privileges, ever an opponent
of monouolistic combinations which
Cypress the people, his election to the
presidency will signalize n return to
the paths marked out by the founders
OF our Republic.
His associate upon the ticket is 81
self-made man, long identified with
large business interests. whose sue
cess in commerce strikingly illustrates
the results that may be won by in
dividuaI merit under political insti-
tuIIOnS
ties to all, who has served the people
and his party. with fidelity and wis
dom in the Senate of the United
States. and who in the ce-presidency
will sustain the best traditions of that
high and honorable office.
1.-THE signs of the times point sus-
piciously to a Democratic triumph.
Not in many years have the indie
pendent voters manifested so decided
a decision to come with the Demo-
cratic party. Even in n hopelessly
Republican State like Maine, there
has been a great Democratic re-awak-
ening, a marked increase in the Dem
ocratic vote. and sweeping reduction
in the Republican plurality, of nearly
5000 from that of four years ago.
1--WE unhesitatingly promise the
Democracy of the nation that the
electoral vote of the Empire State
will be cast for alton b. Parker and
Henry c.. Davis
