IS.—The Demooratio state convention was called to order at 12:85 p. to. yesterday by Chairaian Murphy of the state comnaittee. The hall was crowded from the flopr to the highest gallery seat. Chairman Murphy moved that Hon. George Eaines of Rochester bo made temporary chairman. The motion was unanimously carried. Mr. Raines then addressed the convention, eulogizing Governor Hill, and speaking of re taliation, trusts, the surplus, etc. At the conclusion of the speech the roll of delegates Committees were appointed on permanent ■organization, contested seats and resolutions, and upon motion of Hon. Hugh J. Grant of New York the convention took a recess until The Svening Session. The convention reassembled at 7 p. m. The committee on credentials being called x t, Mr. E. T. Wo( loods of New >rk, the chairman, submitted a report rec- imeuding that all the sitting delegates, in cluding the sitting members from the two contested districts of Queens, be confirmed in their right to seats. The report was unan imously adopted. The committee on permanent organization reported for permanent chairman Hon. D. Cady Herrick of Albany; also a list of vice presidents, headed by Alexander Moran of Queens county, and a list of secretaries, headed by Nicholas Mluller, Jr,, of Richmond county. DisUlot Attorney Ridgway of Kings and Gen. i’. C. Doyle of Erie were appointed a committee to escort Mr. Herrick to the chair. Mr. Herrick was greeted ivith great ap plause. He addressed the convention as fol- Herrick’s Speech, Gentlemen of the convention:—I am grate ful for the honor you have conferred upon me, and I congratulate the convention and the Democracy of the state that your delib erations have been harmonious, and are to result in o u r jiresenting a united front to the common enemy. Tbg^Deinocratio par.ty has ceased to be a party merely o f opposition, and in its convenlions it is no longer lim it^ to criticism, attack, and premia^ of what it will do If entrusted with power.

E TOOK & CO., for uhat they be- , 'ty having j . o reason for exhtenco except the love and hope for f polls could not have held together so long; liiit the Democratic party was founded upon and existed for principle, and clinging to the imcient landmarks which the fathers bad erected, a t length, after many reverses of for tune, purified hy its trials and adversities the people have restored i t to power. That i tbtoration, with its conseciuences, was not only a victory for the Democratic party; it was a victory of the people. It was a declaration that there was no dominant class in this country; that the assertion that only a particular class of men were lit to govern was false; that tho charge that one half the American people were not to bo trusted was a slander and a lie. It was a declarationeclaration andnd proofoof thatha government by ' ad not perished d a pr t the people for the people from the earth. But our victory did not relieve the party of •11 its trials and. troubles. Some of us were so accustomed to see the platform and pledges of the dominant party broken after election fiiat wo thought that the regular and proper thing, and when, for ourselves or our friends, we sought place and found the law and the pledges of our pmrty standing in the way, we were both surprised and grieved to find that the administration we had chosen insisted on keeping its pledges and enforcing the law. Then, too, some of us had become so accus tomed to Gritlclse and oppose the administra tion that we kept i t up, even when it did > to bo our' ov own administration. ifelongfelong habit could not break loose frona the li h qf being “against the government. ” [Laughter ticism and opposition—had to become ac customed to its own responsibilities. It had to formulate a positive policy of its ow n - founded upon the principles of the party and upon which its diverse elements could be united. But now ihese trials are happily over. We see that to keep p aity pledges and enforce the law was not only right but was good politics. The carping criticism of op position has given place among us to kindly adnaonitions of friendship. The administrar tion has been deemed strong. It has been an adiuiuistration of the whole country—not of a section, and policy for tho party has been form u late os broad as the Republic itself— a pulley not to protect trusts, monopolies or classes, but a policy in the interest of all the people; and for the protection of individual capital and labor all over the land. [Ap- plouse.] And now for the first time in our twenty- five years we enter upon a national canvass with part at least of tho responsibilities of the government upon ns. We are no longer the “fierce, the unterrlfiad Democracy,” but tho sober, staid, conservative Demoa-acy, made so by tho responsibilities of power and public trust, a nd we appeal to the people to say it those resp(^ibilities have not been well met and those’trusts faithfully fulfilled. [Applauso.3 \When we are raising $100,000,000 more taxes than the government requires we think there is something wrong—^‘that unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation,” and that there niust be a remedy somewhere. We believe that that remedy can be applied without in- jui y to invested capital; b u t with benefit, and non to tiio injury of American labor. We believe i t can be done by reducing the taxes upon the necessaries of Ufe and decreasing the expenses of living, by reducing the tax on raw material used in home mannfactvires and thereby increasing tho amount and ifits o f boil S' lurtqcles, and those alone, where manufacture iQfor, Main «nd Cliurdh. »ts.jT Qioersville. prolcptiom to^ve invested eapital and lomo labor. We believe in levying taxes and duties upon luxuries and those md those alone, well paid labor. To cai'ry out tills policy and that of ad ministrative reform wo have placed at our head one whose acts in the past, wlioso wis dom, integi’ity and firmness ore all .■mflioient guarantees in the future; one in whose bands the business interests, good nama and fame of the country are safe—Grover Ciovolund. [Great applause.] Opposed to us is a party that in its na tional platform proposes to make whisky free, but equalizes that in its state platform by a proposition to increase the tax on tho whisky-deaier; a party which in its platform condemns those things called trusts, organ izations which limit production, fix prices re gardless of cost, dictate the wages of labor, crush out small dealers and strangle compe tition; while the embodied spirit of organ ized Rqpulilicanism, its “uncrowned king,” defends these same trusts and declares tiiem to bo pi'ivate affairs with which the govern ment has nothing to do; a party which re vokes its declarations of 1884 that the tarifl! should be revised, and now professes to be lieve that the difficulties under which we labor can be best relieved by free whisky, and taxing necessaries; that believes iu a re stricted market rather than that of tho world, and in erecting a Chinese wall around Amer ican industries—this it calls by the high sounding but delusive name of protection to American labor and saving the home market. The policy is one which renders possible andnd trustusts, and invites monopolies a tr increases tho expenses of living, enriches a few at the expenses of the many, restricts the coini of the country and the field of America terprise.srprise. Itt is a policyolicy of thee past.st. I is a p of th pa The candldate^xoo, is of the past—a historic ime. While the American people have a reat respect for historic names, they do not vote for them. The experiment was tried in this state last fall, when the beaver of one of the grandest names in recent American his- ughtgl that governmental power tory was tau and official trust do not descend by inherit ance in thisis country. th is not a campaign of sentiment or passion. Our appeal is to the sober sense, the brain, the intelligence of the American people. The cry of free trade anil British in fluence cannot avail against us. The Issue we present is clear cut and well defined. Our loader has the courage of his convictions. He is one who dares to do what he believes to bo right. With such a leader and such an issue, and with full faith ia the intelligence of the people, we enter upon the campaign with an abiding confidence that tho Chinese wall which onr enemies have erected around American commerce and labor for protection of monopolies and trusts, and that the bearer of the historic name, will both go down be fore the onward march of a triumphant iplause.] id concluded hisspeec of the coininitteo on submittedbmitted by Cliaiiiair- ny Hall and read b he called for the report of the coininitteo o iolutions, which was su by Cl by man Gilroy of\ Tatm the secretary as follow The P latform . First—Tho Democracy of the state of New York in convention assembled heartily np- cr.msed its wealth. It ha's fostered and en-, provo of the platformmdopted by the national larged om-inland traffle and decreased the Democratic oanvoulion, held at Wt Lmis thoivof. It haa ohediod excessive in June last, and in Grover Cloveland and charges for transportation. Believing tlial I .tve and uypocntioal legislation of Xlopubll-' can legiahUures uiion the liquor question in tho Inst few years, much of which was clearly inconsistent, not honestly designed or ciilou- latecl to aid the cttiiso of temperance, but in tended only to mislead tho people and for political effect. yixth—Tlio Democratic party new, as ever, earnestly favors the preservation of the purity of elections, tho protection of the bal lot and the certainty of honest returns. It believes that these conditions are the safe- such conditions and in preventing all and fraudulent influences. We favor onable and practical measures which may conduce to these ends, and of all changes in our eloetion laws, which will tho more effectually preserve to every citizen the right of one free ballot fairly -counted and jionestly returned. We favor any practical end properly framed measure, however stringent and severe, which v/ill moi-e surely i J’event and punish bribery and frauds as well as intimidation and coecion at elections. ',Yo approve the veto of the so-called Saxton electoral hill because it contained provisions which were unconstitutional, grossly defec tive, clearly impractical and otherwise ob jectionable, and which would therefore have tailed to accomplish the reforms desired. Seventh—We arraign the Republican party for its nullification of the constitution for the purposo of perpetuating partisan asceUdiuicy. 1' has persistently neglected and refused to provide for an enumeration of our people as a basis of a new apportionment of the senate and assembly districts of the state. Al though a minority iu the.,state it has held control of the legislature for’’'many years re gardless of the will of the majority of the people. 10 has refused and neglected to enact a proper measure for creating a con- stCntional convention as demanded by the majority of tho people of the state and im peratively required by the constitution. Eighth—We believe in home rule for cities. We favor a revision of the tax laws so ns to ensure more equal taxation. We advocate the enactment of ictment of imiform general laws and are opposed to needless special legislation. We urge further legislation to prevent the adulter.ation of food products and to protect the dairy and agricultural interests of the state. The efforts of organized labor to ad- the interests and better the condition t with our full 3t legislationmis is - I ends has reciceived required re vimeo thi of laboring thy, and wbhtever just to accomplish these et will continue to receive our cordial support. Ninth—While loudly proclaiming their de votion to the soldier the Republican party through its legislators has neglected to pass, although urged so to do by the present Democratic government of tho state, the 'necessary legislation to enable the soldiers at the soMiei's’ home to exercise tha elective franchise thereat and has thereby sought to place them on the same plane as the convict and the pauper. Tenth—The canal system of the state has built up its trade and commerce; largely de veloped its cities and villages and greatly in- cr.msed its wealth. It has festered and en-. in June last, and in Grover Cloveland and Allen G. Thurman we recognize tried and true exponents of tho principles therein ex pressed. Mr, Cleveland’s letter of ncceptanco by its statement, “Wo have entered upon iiocru- sado of free trade. Tha reform we s.'ok to inaugurate is predicated on the utmost care for established industries; a jealous regard for the interests of American labor and a sincero desire to relieve the country from the injustice and the danger of a condition which threatens evil to ail the people of tho land,” has truly interpreted the Democratic plat form, and in that letter he has clearly pre sented the vital issues pending before thi American people. Second—\We hail with paferioth satisfac tion the bold, aggressive and statesmanlike message of Grover Cleveland upon the fish eries question, vindicating tho rights and proclaiming anew the dignity of American citizenship. We congratulate our country in that it bos a president who Imowing the right, dares maintain it. Thii-d—We commend the efforts of the jsidentsident too enforceorce thehe lawsws relativelative to im- pre t enf t la re portedirted contractontract labor.or. Suchch efforts hi c lab Su ef saled their weakness and tho insul our immigration laws so far ns appli criminal paupers and contract lal ifficieiwyof ipHcablo t( criminal paupers and contract laborers; and we therefore recommend a thorough revision of the laws in relation to siich immigration and imported contract Ipbor, so that our country shall not be made the refuge of the dangerous and criminal classesof other lands; shall not be burtheued with the support of their paupers and that our workingmen shall not be deprived of work or have it cheapened by competioD with imported contract labor. We approve the Democratic measure passed by the Democratic house of representatives prohibiting Chinese immigration. By it actual and not sham protection will be afforded to the American workingmen and wa demand its passage by the Republican senate. We condemn the Republicim majority of the United States senate for its hostility to the labor measures which were p.asscd by tha house of representatives in March and April of JS88 and which have failed to receive even consideration by the Republican branch of tho legislature Foucth---We maintain that combinations of capital oominonly called trusts are con spiracies which limit production, fix tha javdlessoftl ' ‘ i of governmental concern. We i sgislation to prevent such combina tions and we condemn the last Republican legislature for declaring all legislation for tha suppression of these trusts and monopolies alike repugnant to the common law and dan gerous to the prosperity of a free people. Fifth—We oppose all sumptuary laws needlessly interfering with the personal lib erties and reasonable habits and customs of any part of our citizens. We believe in the regulation and restriction of tha liquor traffic by just and equitable excise laws rigorously enforced, applicable without unjust disorimi- iroughoi raised b; local revenues slio„^,» the burdens of local t revision of the excise )i . recommendation of a Democratic gcJvernor to that effect made to the last legislature and ndopteii bv it. Whereby a commission wus appointed to make such revision, and we trust that tha work of the commi^ion wilt be such as td merit tho approval of tho people of .the state.

His firmm and principles a au a le His fir and judicious exercise of the veto power and his fearless, faithful and conscientious discharge of the duties of his office have shown his detenninalion to protect tha interest of the state and the people. The strenuous but futile attempts of Republican partisan inves tigating committees and Republican legisla tures to discredit him with bis party and tht people have utterly fnilecl in their purposes and have only served to strengthen him iu the public confidence. Fourteenth—The Democracy of the Empire State send greeting to their brethren in other states and congratulate them and all friends of constitutional government throughout the Union upon the bright prospects of a I'enewed triumph of Democratic principles. We cou- fi.Jently assure them that New York will hold her honored place in the column of Demo cratic state'.
