O. Herrick, chairman of the committee on rorolutions, announced that the committee waa ready to present a teport, Before the report was read the chairm asked unani- mous consent for the presentment of a epecial resolution, which was granted, snd Gen. Roger A Pryor presented the following Rerolved, That with profound sorrow the demucracy of the state of N York lament the ceath of the inflexible patriot and in- vircible soldier, Ulysses S, Grant, (applause) of whose illustrious career they recognizs the fitting crown and cousummation in his dying mveeation of peacsand good will between the heroes he l-d and the herozs he con- quered. (&pplause ) 10 resulution was una imously adopted, evary delegate rising to his feet, The platform was then road as follows: *“The democrats of the state of New York in convention assembled, congratulate the people of the whule uvion upon tha election and insuguration of Grover Cleveland to be president of the Uuaited States, Wa com- meud the wise nud statesmanlike tone of his ioaugural address and the significant public recognition in vhe eelection of his cabinst offi- corn of the fact that the uuion of those thirty- eight indestru tible states is ut lastthoroughly estabhished, His firm, considarate and con- scientious conduct a8 presdent has already proved tho falsity of the predictions of ua national calamity with which his ene- mies and the enemies of the democratic party endeavorad to slarm the public mind during the canvass, We hereby tender to him our hearty approbation of the public policy which has goveraed s official ac.ion, and we especially emphasise in our approbation ths effort he has made to eavicate corruption and iucompetency from the public service by the appuintment of honest, capuble democrats in order tbat there shall bs thorough, whole- some reform of the methods condemned by the peoplo who contided to him the administration of his high official trust, The platform then ¢xpres-es approval of the adwiuistration of the state government by the several dupariments of the state, and re-sffirm the declacations of the democratic national conveutions of 1876-'80-'84 in regard to the necessity of reformiug the civil service, but condemns the actuul administration of the existing oivil service law as it has besn executed by the republican party, ‘‘Thay have sbused its provisions for the pirposs of keeping ropublicaus in office They have, through the machinery of the luw, formulated Jists «f eligibles compoeed almo-t exclusively of republicans; they have extonded the period duriog which, by provisions of tho law, those eligible for ap- pointment for office should rewain in the reg- isters, 80 as to exclude democrats from all ol- fices within the rules of civil rervice, Weo ask that the commission at Washington bare- organized, o that its msjority shall bo in sympathy with tha administeation; that both partics be fairly represented on examining boards, and that the present lists of persons legible for offica be annullod, While, there- fore, proclaiming approbation of the general epirit which inspired the recant legislation of the federal government and of the state of New York t promote needsd reform in civil service, we must at the eame time place on record our wish and purgose that the proper officers of each government charged with the execution of that legislation and empowered to make suitable rules and regulatious to carry it into effect shall take oare that the constitutional power of the executive and hoeads of the departments to make sppoint- ‘ments shall not be impired and that the ma- chinery, whatever it may be, for the testing of eligible candidates shall not be prostituted to uuworthy purposes.” The ubove was adopted by & majority of the committee, but the minority decided to make no report, in the interests of harmony. The convention believesthat the experiment of coining silver dollars in the hopes of wain- tainivg & fixed ratio with gold has gone far enough, and cannot be continued looger with- out great danger to the business interests of the couatry. The loss in intercst a.one on silver dollars stored up 1n the treasury vaults per annum, is over four million dollars this accuwulation of chased at & cost of $150,005.000, day notmore than $166,000,000, with every prospect cf further depreseion, **We there- ros mand the repesl of the act under which compuliory coinage of silver goes on, but we will welcome any practical measute of sgrorment with other nations by whicha ratio of valus between gold and silver may ba made 1ess fluctusting, but to this end the firat stap must be the stopping ot any further compul- sory coinsge of slver dollars.” ‘s plattorm calls for revieion cf the tariff upon the principles laid down hy the national democratio conyention f 1854, also demands that the methods of administration in the cus- tom houses be thoroughly reformed and that the vexations, annoyances and oppressive reg- ulations which have driv. n our own merchants out ef business shull be swept away and that the condnct of busivess between the people and the government bs made as simple and inexpensive as possible, The platform favors the abolition of the contract system in pr sons and 0pposes con- track convict labor in sny form, and favors a proper substitute that will employ conviots ac:ording tothe state account system "The rewainder of the platform refers to limiting the houra of labor, employmant of children in factories, eto., legislation in re- gard to giving soldiers and sailors priority in appoiutment under the provisions of ‘the vil service laws; also refors to the canals system and othoer state matters and concludes with the following paragraph: **Wo oppss all sumptuary and other laws which inser fere with the constitutional right of personal liberty aud favor the euactment of such ex- ciso lawa ns shall be alike just to all, coneider- ing the olaim and proteeiing their in: dividus! righ ‘The platform was then adopted without o dissentiog voice, Roswell P Flower was nominated by accla- mation for lieutenaat governor; Frederiok Qook, of Rochester, was 1 minated by ac- clamation for secretary of siate; A.A.
