The Rept a Stato Conve: met at Syracuse om Wednesi + for what they omit to say rat deal only in generalities, aud utter nothing new. In declaring that every citizen is en- titled to the suffrage, without regard to ua tion, race, or religion, they anuoance a self. evident truth, wh of tho Fifteenth Amendment, they merely express an opinion upon @ matter which is pot involved in the current cauvass, and with which the clectors of this State have now nothing whatever to do, the Legislatare having ratified ‘he Amendinent, and Cov. Horrman having forwarded to Secretary Fist the evidence of the ratification. On the Cuban question the Convention would, at first view, seem to take rather of the advanced position which the Adminis. tration ought te occupy. The resolutions, after expreesing sympathy with the strug- gling Cubans, zo on to say that whenever the recognition of Cuban belligereney, the Republicans of New York will approve of sueh recognition; and that whenever the Cubans have achieved their independenee, and desire to be annexed to the United States, then they will favor such annexation. Such declarations are cheap, and they evade the very points at issue, They express no opinions whatever upon the present status of the Cuban revolution, but refer every: thing to the judgment of the Administration, simply adding that when it thinks it best to act, then the Republicans will approve its course. Could a Republican Convention say anything less without stultifying itself as a | Jud partisan organization? What the peopte demand is a positive expression of the opinions of the Republican party of this State as to the present duty of the Federal Admin. istration, and not a vague promise that thi party will stand by it, whatever it does or omits to do in regard to Cuba, Tho resolutions say a few words against appropriating public moneys to the support of sectarian schools and institutions, and deal fn a little harmless buncombe about redacing the tolls on the canals; but they say nothing upon the subject of clearing the halls of le- gislation of venality and corruption, nor do they recommend the adoption of the new Constitution, which provides the means for ebecking profligate expenditures, and renders it possible to punish public officers who ac- cept bribes. The Convention urges the next Legislature to pass laws that shall prevent frauds in the to enactments which will relieve the people of New York and Brooklyn from the sore grivv- ‘ances under which they suff operation throughout the ate, The resolutions dodge the license subject entirely, ‘lhe Convention onght at least to have shown tact enough to echo the Demo- cratic platform by declaring that, whatever they ought at least to be uniform in their appli- cation to al) parts of the State, and not be so framed as to bear invidiously and oppressive ly upon the Metropolitan District of New York and its surroundings. But the simple truth is, the majority of the Convention did pot dare to touch this subject at all, notwith- excise laws we may see fit to ha standing the necessity of action if the does not intend to re minority ; and so they tab! decided by the several towns ‘The ticket placed in nomination is a very good one, even after the honored name of | of the Bank—if it should Gronoe Wittiam Curtis hes been with @rawn ; but we presume that no member of the Convention entertains the slightest @oubt that every candidate on the list will be eignally defeated. oe Have a Mayort We have no particular objection to Mr, A, Oakey Hawt being Mayor of this city he is 0 anxious to be Mayor, and the people are willing to have him, although he is more @ parade;horse, a douryard pony, than an all- day steed, wiy then let him hold on to the Bat we do think it beneath the dignity of this great city, and derogatory to its charae- fer, to have a Mayor who is @ practising at- tomey at the sane time.
