The Democrats of New York, in renew
ing their pledges of fidelity to the essen
tial principles of Jetfersonian 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 candidates are to be nomi
mated.
l. This is government of laws, not OF
men; one law for Presidents, Cabinets
and people; no usurpation; no Executive
encroachment upon the legislative or
judicial department.
g. We must keep inviolate the pledges
of our treaties; we must renew and rein
vigorate within ourselves that respect tor
law and that love of liberty and of peace
which the spirit of military domination
tends inevitably to weaken and destroy.
3. Unsteady national policies and a rest
less spirit of adventure engender alarms
that check our commercial growth; let US
have peace, to the end that business con
fidence may be restored and that our PEG
pie may again in tranquility enjoy the
gains of their toll.
4. Corporations chartered by the State
must be subject to just regulation by the
State in the interest of the people; taxa
ton for public purposes only; no Govern
ment partnership with protected monop
olies.
s. Opposition to trusts and combina-
tions that Cypress the people and st'ne
healthy industrial competition.
6. A check upon extravaganza in pub
lie expenditures, that the burden OF the
peoples taxes may be lightened.
7. Reasonable revision of the tariff;
needless duties upon imported raw mate
rails weigh heavily upon the manufacture
er, and menace to the American wage
Garner, and by increasing the cost If pro-
ductiOn shut ont our products from the
foreign markets.

home rule; no Capitalization.
9, Honesty in the public service, vigi
lance in the prevention of fraud, firm
ness in the punishment of guilt when de
tected.

Alton Brooks Parker-and the dele
gates selected by this convention are
hereby instructed to present and support
such nomination at the approaching ma
