Adams, chairman of the Kings connty delegation, moved to make tho nomination unanimous. Three cheers were given for Kings county. When th convention had quieted down a little, Mr. Adams said that this was the result ol the action of tbo Kings county delegation at a meeting held In the morning. The other candidates were nominated by ac clamation, and the convention adjourned after heartily cheering the ticket. The riutfurm. The following platform was Adopted amid thuuderous applause: The Democratic party of the state of New York, in convontiou atwembled, renews ttaa pledges of its fldolity to Democratic faith, and as regards national issues reaffirms the doc trine of the national platforms of lum and lws, indorsed by tho popular votes in those yean, and so overwhelmingly ratified by the popular verdict in the (ontfrewional elections of 1800. We now, as then, steadfastly adhero to prin ciples of sound finance. Wo are against the coinage of any dollar which is not of the in trinsic value of every dollar of the United States. We therefore denounce the new Shermnn sil ver law, undor which one-tenth of our gold stock has been exported and all our silver out put is dammed up at home, as a false pretense but artful hindrance of return to free bime tallic coinage and as tending only to produce a change from one kind of metollsm to another. The Sherman Lsw Denounced. We therefore unite with the friends of honest money everywhere in stigmatizing the Hher man progressive silver basis law as no solution of the gold and silver question, and as a fit ap pendix to the subsidy and bounty swindle, the McKlnley worse-than-war tariff, theBlulne rec iprocity humbug, the squandered surplus, the advancing deficit, the defective centres, the fal sified representation and the revolutionary pro cedures of the billion dollar congress, all justly condemned by the people's great uprising last November, a verdict which, reaewed next year, will empower Democratic statesmen to guide the people's councils and to execute the peo ple's will. We congratulate the people of the state upon the beuetleont results which followed the elec tion of a Democratic assembly last autumn. That victory secured the election of a Demo crat to the United States senate, a representa tive in full sympathy with the popular majority on great questions of federal policy. It gave the state the lowest tax rate of thirty-six yean and for the first time In a generation freedom from taxation for the general purposes of gov ernment. It gave New York city the means of securing rapid transit a boon which Repub lican legislatures hod for yean denied. It gave the people the shortest legislative session in seventeen years, a tribute to the faithful indus try of the Democratic assembly, by whom this result was achieved in the interest of economy and good legislation. Fledges Redeemed. Our pledges to the people contained in the Democratic platforms of INK", 181 and lttbli were promptly redeemed by the Democratic assem bly in the passage of the following measurea: 1. A bill to enumerate tho inhabitants of the state, preparatory to a reapportionment of senate and assembly districts. 2. A bill to reapportion the congress districts In pursuance of the foderal statute and upon the basis of the recent federal census. a A bill to provido for a constitutional con vention in accordance with the wish of the peo ple as declared by a large majority at the polls inlSHfl. 4. A bill to revise and consolidate the excise laws a measure intelligently and equitably framed, carefully regulating the sale of intoxi cating liquors, prescribing just fees for licensee and preserving all needful restrictions for tho maintenance ot order and the good of society. 6. Heveral bills to ameliorate the condition of agriculture and labor and to lessen the burden of direct taxation. The Apportionment Question. All those measures passed by the Democratic assembly in olwdience to the dninuud of the !opular majority were defeated in the Repub lican senate by the representatives of the mi nority of the people. Thus has the Republican party oonttnued to betray the poople's interest. It defies the constitution, denies fair represen tation in the legislature to 1.1J0,0IK new inhabi tants of the state by refusing to pass an enu meration bill the preliminary step to the alio lition of the present antiquated apiwrtionmcnt if the senate and assembly districts, which is baied on the census of sixteen years ago. It not only conspired with the federal census bu reau to deprive the state of an additional repre sentative in congress and in the electoral col lego by a fraudulent count of the iuhubitunts of New York city, but it refuses to comply with the command of its own federal congress to re arrange the thirty-four congress districts of the state so that all contain as nearly as practicable an equal number of inhabitants. It ignores the emphatic declaration of the people, who, by a plurality of iBrJ.WO votes, re corded themselves in favor of a constitutional convention. Concerning Prohibition. It insists tipou a potaage of sumptuary laws which needlessly interfere with the personal liberty of lawabiding citizens. It demonstrates the hypocrisy of its professions by twice re cording itself in the legislature In favor of a prohibition amendmout and then refusing to .mike provision for its submission to the peo ple, except at a special election not desired by :rohlbitloniHtB and at an unnecessary expanse -f over SUMi.dio to tho taxpayers. It refuses to ameliorate the condition of wage earnen by nocting just and conservative laws in their interest. It shows its subserviency to the moneyed interests by ignoring the demands of the agricultural and working classes for re forms In methods of taxation. It covertly lends its influence to tho restriction of man hood suffrage. It indicates its hostility to home rule by its efforts at meddlesome iuter terenre with the attain of large cities. It encourages expensive legislative Investi gating committees, whose investigations de generate into strikes for political patronage upon the official authorities of Democratic manlclpalitles. The World's Fair. ' ' It Inflicted a hostile blow on the liest welfare '' he state, by depriving New York of the World's fair, because the Republican leader could not control its board of directors. By that act New York was deprived of the beuellt of the expenditure of hundreds of million of dollars within IU borrtors. By that act the in terests of every Wage earner, every merchant, every farmer, every innuufacturnr, every householder, every railroad and transportation company were rrnelly sacrificed. The people will not forget that the most conspicuous agent In this partisan crime Is now the candidate ot his party for governor. Acnlnit that record of misrepresentation and betrayal the Demo cratic party most earnestly protests. We afllrin the principles and pledges con tained In our state pint forms of lannaud pre ceding years. Wo oppose needless special legislation. Vi favor home rule for countief and municipalities. We believe In low tnxpsand in economical ad ministration. We demand a revision of the various statutes regulating the sale of Intoxt eating liquors and the enactment of a jutt, equitable and comprehensive excise law frnmed In accordance with existing public sentiment as reioatedly manifested. We believe that all excise revenues, whether called license fees ot taxes, should belong to the treasuries of the lo calities under whose authority licenses are Is sued, to be applied in reducing the burden ol local taxation. We are opposed to all sumptuary legislation that needlessly interferes with the personal lib erty or reasonable customs of the people. We favor the largest lllx-rty for the Individual cltl sen consistent with the public welfare. We de mand an extension of electoral reform, with a view to preventing the profuse expenditure ol money by candidates and political committees; but we resolutely oppose any effort to hamtier or restrict tbo coustitutlonal privileges of man hood suffrage. Electoral Reform. And we congratulate the people of the state that by the perMstent efforts of a Democratic governor, sustained by Democrats in the legis lature, In defense of this principle there has been at last wrested from a Repub lican legislature by force of public sen timent a genuine electoral reform law which guarantees an absolutely sivrit bek lot, which prevents intimidation and corrup tion, which reserves for men tho right to two houn on election day in which to vote without loss of pay for time consumed, which largely diminishes tho opportunities of candi dates to expend money illegitimately, which prescribes a careful system of registration ot electors, which Imposes heavy (tensities for corrupt practices in elections, and which pre serves inviolable to every citizen, however humblo or unlettered he may lie, the right to cost his ballot for whomsoever ho may choose for any office within the gift of the people. We favor tho revision of the tax laws where by personal mid corporate property shall be made to liear its full ami just burdens. We fuvor a continuance of the policy which seeks to Improve tho canal system of the state and malntuin its efficiency. The Interests of Labor. The interests of lnlior should be fostered by proper and necessary legislation. Honest worklngmen and working women should lie protected from competition with convict la bor. Tho Republican party, having control of the legislature almost continuously for many years, has withheld tho necessary legislation required to adequately accomplish such a pur pose, and In this connection we denounce the failure of tho Republican senate last winter to enact the so called Reilly bill desired by the worklngmen, which bad passed the Demo cratic assembly, and had for its object the fur ther restriction of convict labor competition. We favor legislative provision for a proper ex hibit from this stute at the World's Columbian exposition, to lie held in Chicago in 1113, and we especially commend the measure to secure that object which was passed by the Demo cratic assembly last spring, but which a Re publican senate with surprising reluctance, after its successful efforts to locate tho fair in Chicago, refused to enact. This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed from every laud exiles for conscience sake and In the spirit of the founders of our government, we condemn the oppression and expatriation practiced by tho Russian government upon its Jewish citizens, and we call upon our govern ment in the interests of justice and humanity, by all just and proper moans, to use IU prompt and best efforts to bring about a cessation of those cruel persecutions in tho dominions of the czar and insure to the oppressed equal rights. Governor Dill Eulogised. We heartily indorse the able and statesman like administration of Governor Hill during his seven yean as chief executive of the state. He has resolutely maintained the principles of the Democratic party and has faithfully oontonded for the Interests of the people. He has ably re sisted the aggressions of the successive legisla tures, whose object has been only partisan ad vantage, and he has been a Arm and unrelent ing foe to vicious and corrupt legislation. In bis administration of state affain he has re ceived the intelligent and conscientious co-op-erstionof his Democratic associates in the state departments. Their joint efforts have pot the state practically out of debt and left a generous surplus in the treasury. Efficiency and econ omy have marked their official records. We respectfully snbmit that this faithful discbarge of responsibility justifies a continuance of the trust imposed in the Democratic party, of which they have been true representatives. Jones Will right Flower. Binohamton, N. Y., Sept. 18. Lieu tenant Governor Jones has furnished the following for the press: "Being request ed by the press to announce my intentions relating to the nominations of the Sura toga convention I would say that my po litical action hns always been controlled by my sense of duty as a citizen, never re. cognizing conflicting party obligations. "Believing, In this Instance, that not only have the Interests of the people been sacrificed but the existence of the Demo cratic party jeopardized, for behind the nominations und in absolute control of the party are nicn whose every sentiment of patriotism is subject either to their per soiinl ambition or their selfish greed, und the administration of jmbllo affairs is shaped to perpetuate their rule. Temporary Defeat Preferable. "So complete is the power of these men, and so dictatorial have they become, that members of the party are but serfs so far as political action is concerned. Continued subservience but makes the condition too degrading to be quietly borne by American, citizens. There is but one way to dislodge these usurpers. The temporary defeat of the party will be burmless compared with the effects of their control. "For the welfare of the state and in the interest of the Democratic party, to mu my dnty Rppears clear, which is to oppose the election of the nominee of the Suratogu convention to such an extent as may be within my power and In such manner as may seem best to accomplish that purpose. "Edward F. JosKa" Mr. Jones declines to specify just what action he will take in the matter. They Itatify the Ticket. Nsw Yohk, Sept. S3. The Republicans of this city held a meeting last uight in Carnegie's new music hall and formally ratified the action of tho Republican con vention at Rochester. The hall was filled. Mr. Fosse tt said there was nothing in the Democratic platform about Grover Cleveland. Tammany Hall never liked Grover Cleveland, nor anything about any soldiers or sailors in the platform at Saratoga, and yet Edward F. Jones was a soldier and a brave man in 1S6&. Mr. Fassett did not believe that Gov ernor Hill was defeated at Saratoga. If it were so, he said, then even Hilllsm wasn't bad enough for Tammany Hall, and they dared to put their foot on the neck of the young hero who led them to victory for niue years. If they did neglect biin they were guilty of casting aside their political savior. When reference was made to Maine's reciprocity treaty the speaker was inter rupted by wild cheers for IHalne. Mr. Fassett then proposed three cheers for President Harrison and Mr, Blaine, and they were given with a tiger. Democrats at New Haven. Xkw Havks, Pcpt. 2.1. The Connectlcnt State Democratic club held Its seml-nn-nuM banquet here last evening. J'rofes sor Simeon E. Huldwln, of the Yule Law school, presided. The present condition of the state gov ernment was discussed, and the meeting was unanimous in urging thst the Demo cratic state central committee should call m state convention of the pnrtjr during the coming winter to make a declaration of principles. lllnlhe May Not Ittin, Xew York, Sept. 23. The Mall and F. press' Washington special says that James G. Blaine will, soon after the first of the new year, notify his friends and admirers who are now urging his nomination for the presidency that tinder no circum stances could he accept such an honor, and that he Is for the rcnomlnation and re-election of Benjamin Harrison. The situation as here given hits been known to the president for some time. Cleveland and Mills. Washington, Sept. 23. Mr. Mills' speech at Mansfield, O., lit which ho swept aside the silver question as one of no Impor tance compared with the question of tariff taxation, has commanded a good deal of attention from the Washington politicians. They say the attitude of Mr. Mills indi cates an alliance of the friends of Mills with the friends of Mr. Cleveland. Ttrnnkfleld Is Chairman.. NEW YoiiK. Sept. ltf. At a meeting of the Republican stnto committee William llrooltflcld was chosen to succeed General Knupp as chairman of the Republican state committee and General 1 lusted became chairmnn of tho executive committee. James W. Wadsworth, of Genuseo, was elected treasurer. Republican Clubs at Krruntuii. ScrtANTON, Sept. 24. The executive committee of the Pennsylvania league of Republican clubs set Tuesday afternoon and rejected tho application of all clubs for membership which hud not been in ex istence on July 16. This seems to indicate that Senator RoMnsou will be elected president of the club tit the session. A Local Fight at Newark. Kewaisk. X. J., Sept. 3-i Thero Is a Democratic split in this city. Mayor Jo seph Haynes,regulur Democratic candidate for mayor, will be opposed by ex-Asscm-blymaa J. Kalisch, who will bo the Repub lican candidate. About 00 seceding Dem ocrats are with him.

The Republican state committee has established elaborate campaign headqunrtcrs at the Fifth Ave nue hotel, and everything is ready for business. ; M'CAMANT AND BARDSLEY. No Mention of "NeeWtles and Handker chiefs" In the Correspondence. Philadelphia, Sept. 23. District At torney Graham bos given out to the news papers the much talked of correspondence between Auditor General McCamant and Cashier Livsey on the one side and John Bardsley on tho other, which it Is con tended, only needed the corroborative evi dence of Bardsley himself to enable Mr. Graham to frame a criminal indictment against Mr. McCamant. Tbo letters are, in general, an acknowl edgment of favors much more valuable than any before referred to in print, and there is an entire luck of any ment ion of the "neckties and handkerchiefs" which Mr. McCamant testified Bardsley had bought for him and by which he explulned his thanks to liardsley for favors. Governor Abbett at the Kalr. "Waveuly, N. Sept. 23. A trrent throng of people attended the fair of the New Jersey Agricultural societies at War erly yesterday.
