TlTSipsr^r ~ , THE PLATTSBURGH SENTINlfc, MAY 6, 1892. The Plattsburgh Sentinel FRIDAY MORNING, MAY, 6, 1892. THE "BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM," We point to the speech of Hon. William A. Sutherland, of Rochester, temporary chairman of the Republican State Con- vention, portions of which are printed on this page, as the battle cry of freedom in the coming political campaign. It appeals to Republicans and Demo- <crats alike. As during the War of the Rebellion, -33fe~long Democrats cut loose from their party and rallied in the Republican ranks to save the nation—to keep the adminis- tration of the government in loyal hands, so now all the common interest of patriot- ism, and of the preservation of free insti- tutions and a free government, appeals to Democrats to abandon the party that has betrayed them. Mr. Sutherland points to the fact that while individual Democrats have openly repudiated and condemned the illegal and treasonable acts of Maynard and his fellow-conspirators in their defiance of ihe laws and the courts, no Democratic ^-convention has done so. It is immaterial whether Hill, or Cleve- land, or Governor Flower, or a dark horse leads the national Democracy in the fight for the Presidency this fall, the national and state Democracy will stand commit- ted to this great conspiracy to overthrow free government, transferred to the seat of the general government last week by the fraudulent seating of a Democratic Congressman from this State, whom the -courts had declared ineligible. The act placing every Inspector of Elec- ftions in the city of New York in the hands <G>f Tammany ruffians, and signed by Governor Flower, is a Democratic act, passed unanimously by a Democratic leg- islature, and no Democratic convention or party assemblage has raised its voice against it. Its purpose and sole purpose is to tear^own every barrier for the pro- tection of the ballot box in New York city. It is to repeat the acts recently en- acted in Cohoes, when Democratic police officers themselves seized the ballot boxes and raided the polls. The simple question is whether the Toters of the State will submit to these :£hings ? Will they continue to counten- ;ance a party whose successes will subvert free government in the whole nation as it "has in this State ? Will they be a party to another treasonable plot as black as that of Jefferson Davis, and fraught with greater danger, because in defiance of all law and pointing to absolute an- archy. This is a serious question for Democrats, as well as Republicans, and they will do well to pause and consider whether self- interest, and all that as citizens of a free . government, they hold dear, do not de- mand that they cut loose from a party that would drag them down to ruin. Remember the events of 1860 and 1861. Remember that the Southern rebellion 'Wtias inaugurated under a national Demo- cratic administration. Remember that the leaders of the rebellion were the lead ers of the national Democracy, and take warning for the future before it is too .late. Cannot Democrats better afford to ^sacrifice their party than their country ? Flower Obeys the Bosses. *<r©vernor Flower has done what his J: masters expected of him. Acting under the direct dictation of Hill and Croker he has signed the Tweed Inspectors bill and the infamous Excise bill. The nature of these measures has been thoroughly ex- posed. One is a scheme to enable Tam- many to carry New York State by fraud, and the other is a scheme to enable Tam- many's allies, the saloon keepers, to sell liquor twenty-four hours in the day seven days in the week. Both bills were wholly vicious, and both were condemned by decent public sentiment. But Flower has chosen to disregard the indignant protests of representative citizens of both parties. He has proved himself once more the humble tool of the bosses. His action will prove disastrous not only to himself but to his party. New York World, the New York Times., the New York Evening Post, 4,he Brooklyn Eagle, the Buffalo Courier, and otker leading and independent- aninded newspapers throughout the State opposed the enactment of the bill destroy- ing the non-partisan composition of the boards of election inspectors in the city of New York and converting them into Tammany bodies. Roswell P. Flower lias undone the reform work of Samuel J . Tilden and Charles O'Cohor, and cast his lot with the Tweeds and the Crokers. | y T h e one phenomenon the editor of the Democratic newspapers and the statesmen of that party can not explain la fche wonderful growth of the United States in the past thirty years notwith- standing during all save four years of /that time it has been the helpless nation f of "Republican misrule and oppression." About the only thing in all those years which has not been improved and devel- «. *yped is the principles of the Democratic i party. iBSPRepresentative Boutelle of Maine, "•'Mr. Elaine's close friend, has received memorom congratulations upon his renomination by acclamation by the Re- publican convention of his district. This is Mr. Boutelle'n seventh consecutive renommatiou to Con grow by acclama- tion, and his political earner is unique in the fact that during itw entire wurse he has never encountered un adverse vote either in a canvass or convention. fSTThe Democrats seek to repeal the Sugar Bounty law. They Hhould go the ne*t step and offer a bill ro-inij>oning the duty on sugar. Senator Roger ( <4 >, Mills said in Ohio last fall that ho would put the duty back on sugar, because it ia prac- tically a revenue tax, owing to the little sugar produced in thia country. That in exactly why the Republicans took it ofF. MillH justifies the Republican action. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. The Republican State Convention which met at Albany last week was marked by great harmony and enthusiasm. The names of Harrison and Blaine were cheered alternately and simultaneously ! Hon. Thomas C. Platt, Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, Hon. Warner Miller and Hon. Frank Hiscock were elected delegates at large to the Republican National Con- vention. Hon. Whitelaw Reid was made perma- nent Chairman of the Convention. Hon. John M. Wever was made one of the Committee on Resolutions. Hon.

The following important action was taken: Whereas, The Legislature of 1892 by a law passed at its annual session, changed, altered and created new congressional districts in this State; and Whereas, A member of Congresstobe voted for at the next general election must be nominated in each of said dis- tricts, and Whereas, In none of the said existing districts is there any committee or com- petent authority to call said convention or agree upon a basis of representatives therein, and Wliereas, No power or authority to fix and determine these questions exists in any of these districts but is lodged wholly in this convention; therefore be it Resolved, First, that the State Conven- tion be and is hereby authorized and em- poweredtofix,determine and if necessary appoint the committee in each Congres- sional district that shall call thefirstcon- gressional convention in each of the said existing districts; second, that the State committee be and is hereby authorized and empowered to fix and determine the basis of representation in each of the ex- isting districts in the first convention to be held therein and to fix and determine the number of delegates and the manner and method of choosing the same in each of the said conventions; third, the first convention in said districts respectively chosen as above provided, shall adjudge and determine these questions and appoint a committee to call futnre conventions, and may fix the basis of representation therein, and said convention may alter, reverse arid modify the determination of the State committee. Following will be found the clear and comprehensive resolutions adopted by the convention. Also extracts of the able and convincing speech of the temporary chairman, Hon. William A. Sutherland, of Rochester, setting forth in a truthful light the dangers that now threaten our free institutions, that must be met at the coming Presidential election. THE PLATFORM. Resolutions Adopted by die Republi- can State Convention. The Republicans of the State of New York, in convention assembled, reaffirm the platform of the national Republican convention of 1888, and we congratulate President Harrison on the success of an administration which has most saga- ciously, courageously and conscientiously followed out the principles and fulfilled the pledges promulgated in that platform. In every department the highest qualities of statesmanship have been exhibited, commanding respect and confidence at home and winning new glories for the republic abroad. The Republican party has a right to ask the approval and support of all good citi- zens for the policy it has pursued in rev- enue legislation; for the fruits, now ap- parent, of the McKinley tariff, under which agriculture has been encouraged, manufactures extended, trade promoted and labor benefited; and for the system of reciprocity which has added greatly to our commerce with other nations on terms of mutual benefit, to the extent of increas- ing more than 50 per cent, and in some cases doubling, our exports of the pro- ducts of the factory and the farm. In the Hucceas of this administration we recog- nize the consummate ability of President Harrison and the wisdom and sagacity of Inn cabinet, and especially of his chief abinet officer, James G. Blaine, whoae strong hold upon and intimate relation- ship with the rrnmagomenfc of public af- fairs have been of lasting benefit to the American people. FOR AN HONEST DOLLAR. We cordially endorse the vigorous dec- laration of I'renidont ilarrmon made in the city of Albany m fuvor of un honest dollar. We commend the Republican members of Congress for having secured the defeat of a free silver bill, the effect of which would have been to derange values, impair contract obligations, re- duce the pay of labor and debase the cur- rency. The people must continue to look to the Republican party to maintain the good faith of the nation in matters of finance, pledged as it is to keep any dollar bearing the stamp of the United States at par with gold, and to repel the assaults of the reckless advocates of free and unlimited coinage of silver. We denounce the treatment of the col- ored people in the South as barbarous and continued, in defiance of the laws and the federal constitution, for the sole purpose of perpetuating Democratic con- trol of that section, and we tender to the people thus oppressed our cordial sym- pathy and our most earnest efforts for the amelioration of their condition. THE DEMOCRATS ARRAIGNED. We arraign the Democratic party of this State through its recognized leaders as guilty of a conspiracy against the con- stitutional rights of the people; a conspir- acy which involved the falsification of election returns; the removal of faithful county officers and the pardon of a duly sentenced criminal; the theft and sup- pression of public records by sworn State officers (one of whom was promptly re- warded for his crime by elevation to the seat on the highest court in the State); the over-riding of the decision of the Court of Appeals and various other rev- olutionary and criminal acts which cul- minated in the reversal of the political majority of the Legislature as determined by the verdict of the people at the polls. THE LEGISLATURE DENOUNCED. We denounce the Legislature thus feloniously constituted for its violation of the principles of genuine home rule in enacting notoriously partisan charter amendments; for granting valuable fran- chises to political favorites without recom- pense to the people; for the attempted in- vasion of Central park; for its removal of wholesome restrictions upon the liquor traffic; for its wasteful expenditures of the people's money which have increased the tax rate 44 per cent over that of last year; for its utter failure to keep its ante- election pledges in behalf of ballot reform and tax reform; for its broken promises to the workingmen; for its whitewashing of a guilty judge of the Court of Appeals; for its return to the methods of Tweed in its inquitious measures conferring upon Tammany officials absolute control of the boards of election inspectors in the city of New York; for constantly legislating for its partisan aggrandizement against the rural districts; for its unconstitutional and fraudulent midwinter enumeration by which the population of the rural dis- tricts was diminished and that of the cities enormously increased, as the basis of an apportionment by which the repre- sentation of Republican portions of the state in the Legislature and in Congress were reduced and all the increase given .to Democratic cities, as is signally illus- trated by the fact that Republican Mon- loe, with 181,000 population, receives on- ly three Assemblymen, while Democratic Albany, with 156,000 population, is awarded four. While these crimes were plotted and perpetrated by David B. Hill and his fel- low-conspirators, the Democratic party, except the individuals who refuse to sanction the revolutionary measures, has been itself full partaker in the guilt by its greedy seizure of the fruits of the felony and its vicious and shameless use of the fraud-made majority in the Legislature. DANGEROUS MEASURES. The Democratic party is further made responsible for the whole conspiracy, in- cluding the theft of the Dutchess returns, by the report of its committee to investi- gate the charges preferred by the Bar Association of New York against Isaac H. Maynard; by the votes in both houses to sustain that report, and by the appoint- ment and retention of said Maynard on the bench of the Court of Appeals, for an offense by law punishable by fine and im- prisonment. Such abhorrent and dangerous meas- ures summon the electors to unite to de- fend the purity of the ballot and the final- ity of the legally expressed will of the majority; and this convention invites all e egay epressed will of the majority; and this convention invites* all the people, regardless of previous party lines, to join in condemnation and rebuke f th l f th Lilt d th of the larceny of the Legislature and the degradation of the bench of our highest tribunal. The Republican party is the only organization free from the control of the principals and the accessories of these crimes, and through it alone can the wrongs perpetrated be corrected and punished and their repetition be prevent- ed. The resolutions were adopted unani- mously. Tin Plate Industry Grows. Ira Ayer, special agent of the Treasury department, has, pursuant to instructions, submitted to Secretary Foster an exhaus- tive report on the tin plate business of the country, the manufacture of tin plate and the growth of the industry. Mr. Ayer's report makes the following showing: Quarter ended September 30, five manufacturers reported: Tin plates, 152,489 pounds; terne plates, 674, 433 pounds; total, 826,922 pounds. Quar- ter ended December 31, eleven manufac- turers reported: Tin plates, 215,911 pounds; terne plates, 1,193,910 pounds; total, 1,409,821 pounds. Quarter ended March 31, 1892, nineteen manufacturers reported: Tin plates, 1,099,656 pounds; terne plates, 1,904,431 pounds; total, 3,004,087 pounds. These figures do not include the pro- duction of sheet iron or sheet steel used in the manufacture of articles tinned or terne plated estimated at 2,000,000 pounds. President Harrison Strong. It is claimed by President Harrison's friends at Washington, that he will be renominated on the first ballot. They claim to have kept track of the State and District conventions which have instruct- ed for President Harrison, and the result is as follows: Alabama, 22; Arkansas, 16; California, 2; Florida, 8; Illinois, 5; Indiana, 30; Kansas, -8; Kentucky, 26, Maryland, 4; Michigan, 4; Mississippi, 18; Missouri, 34; Nebraska, 16; New York, 26; Ohio, 6; South Carolina, 18;South Dakota, 8; Ten- nessee, 2; Texas, 30; Virginia, 8; Wiscon- sin, 10. Total instructed delegates, 302. In addition to these, they say President Harrison is assured of 211 more votes, making a total of 513. This, they say, insures renomination with 63 votes to spare. The Theft of the Senate. ItM Direct Effect on the Pockets of Taxpayers. Tax rate, 1891, with a Republican Sen- ate, 1.37. Tax rate, 1892, with a Democratic Leg- islature, 1.98.

Delivered Before the Republican State Convention, Who can expect free institutions to survive 50, or even 25 years, if in this great Empire State, policemen may with- out protest enter the polling places and snatch from the lawful custodians the very ballot-boxes into which have fallen the expressions of the will of the people? And yet the action of the police at Co- hoes -was the legitimate outgrowth, the mere logical projection of the action of Isaac H. Maynard, when he feloniously abstracted from a public office of the State of New York, from an office created by the people, an official record sent there in pursuance of the statutes and of the re- peated orders of the court. The attempted overthrow of popular will by force at Cohoes was no more threatening to the foundations of our government than was the conduct of Frank Rice, Edward Wemple, Elliott F. Danforth> Charles F. Tabor and John Bo gart, who conspired together to suppress lawful returns, to count returns adjudged to be unlawful, to steal one branch of the State government; and whose doings in these respects were under the advice of the deputy attorney-general of the State, under the command of the Governor of the State, and have met with no rebuke HaTtng recently leased tne Delaware House, from any party organ, or any resolution j Cor, Peru and Bridge Sts., I will run it in connec- of any State or any county convention of tion wltn the Piattsburgn Honsa Tie bouse Has the Democratic party. j Seen entirely refitted and furnished, and is in I do not forget that brave words of j the best possible condition.

I do not forget that a lawyer pursued through the labyrinths of legal procedure the lines of legal research which brought these vil- lainies into public view. I do not forget that other members of the profession moved to righteous, w r a t h by the publica- tion of these facts, entered upon an in- dependent investigation, and, in behalf of the entire Bar Association of the city of New York, pronounced upon the conduct of Isaac H. Maynard, in the hearing of all the people of the State. I do not forget that some-of the lawyers I have named are Republicans, nor that some of them are Democrats. I assert, however, that none of them acted in this matter because of their membership in any political party. Those members of the Bar Association of the city of New York who have placed an ineffaceable brand upon Isaac H. Maynard were not moved by party reasons, nor were they actuated by partisan motives. They were moved by "that respect for law Which no favor sways, no fear can awe." All honor to a profession which contains within its ranks men so true to law itself that they have risen above their party in condemnation of an unrighteous judge. But they did not bring their party up with them. Their party has no where spoken in condemnation even of this judge, much less has it reproved the State Board of Canvassers, every member of which entered into a conspiracy with Isaac H. Maynard to deliver the Empire State, bound hand and foot, into the ten- der mercies of David B. Hill. A CHIME NEXT TO TREASON. The Supreme Court of the State of Wis- consin in the case of "McDill vs the State Canvassers" used jihese words : "He who by fraud or by wilful disre- gard of his sworn duty, defeats the wil of the people as expressed by their votes, commits a political crime next to treason.'' And therefore it is, as all men know, that if a Republican Board of State Can- vassers had disregarded their sworn duty, and had contemptuously disobeyed the commands of Republican judges after those commands had been affirmed by a Republican Court of Appeals, and if these things had been done upon the command of a Republican governor, if that same Republican governor afterwards raking a seat in the United States Senate, had come back again to the city of Albany, and supervised, produced and insisted upon the infamous work of the recent Legislature; then if that ex-Governor and Senator had, as a Republican, gone back to Washington and engaged himself in bedeviling the members of the House of Representatives into overturning in an election contest, the solemn judgment of 13 out of 15 members of its committee on elections; if these and other crimes pass- ing description, the mere recounting of which would consume hours of time, had been done by Republican officials, there would not be left in New York this fall enough members of the Republican party to serve as inspectors of election at the various polling places. Not so with our political enemies. The Democratic party, as a party, glories in the shame of the last few months. That party has educated even good men in its ranks to wink at, ay, to take part in the deepest and 1 most damning of villianies. Look at the picture of Prank Rice. Elected District Attorney in a Republican county. Elected to the Legislature from a Republican county. Elected county judge of a Republican county. Twice elected to the office of Secretary of State. To him there came an opportunity such as has come to none other in the present generation. If it had not been that the counsels of the very devils in hell were pouring into his ears, he would have risen in his place at the head of the table about which were gathered the Board of State Canvassers and there, in three minutes time, would have electrified the nation and placed himself upon the pedestal of everlasting fame. But the votes of con- fidence theretofore given him by his friends and neighbors weighed nothing in the balance against his party command. His oath of office and the mandates of the mrts were but wisps of straw against the strivings of political burglars operating in the interest of the Democratic party. Instead of standing up and declaring his intention to abide by the decisions of the courts and to respect the law of the land, he and his fellow canvassers knelt in a charmed circle and worshipped Mephistopheles himself as he pronounced the magic words, "I am a Democrat." In that worship they are yet bowed. Their crime is yet unrebuked by their party. They promise to repeat the same crimes this fall, and tho way of escape for the State and for the nation will only be opened by Republican hands. Anvwcr Tbl* Question.

THE "BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM,"We point to the speech of Hon. William

A. Sutherland, of Rochester, temporarychairman of the Republican State Con-vention, portions of which are printed onthis page, as the battle cry of freedom inthe coming political campaign.

It appeals to Republicans and Demo-<crats alike.

As during the War of the Rebellion,-33fe~long Democrats cut loose from theirparty and rallied in the Republican ranksto save the nation—to keep the adminis-tration of the government in loyal hands,so now all the common interest of patriot-ism, and of the preservation of free insti-tutions and a free government, appeals toDemocrats to abandon the party that hasbetrayed them.

Mr. Sutherland points to the fact thatwhile individual Democrats have openlyrepudiated and condemned the illegaland treasonable acts of Maynard and hisfellow-conspirators in their defiance ofihe laws and the courts, no Democratic^-convention has done so.

It is immaterial whether Hill, or Cleve-land, or Governor Flower, or a dark horseleads the national Democracy in the fightfor the Presidency this fall, the nationaland state Democracy will stand commit-ted to this great conspiracy to overthrowfree government, transferred to the seatof the general government last week bythe fraudulent seating of a DemocraticCongressman from this State, whom the-courts had declared ineligible.

The act placing every Inspector of Elec-ftions in the city of New York in the hands<G>f Tammany ruffians, and signed byGovernor Flower, is a Democratic act,passed unanimously by a Democratic leg-islature, and no Democratic conventionor party assemblage has raised its voiceagainst it. Its purpose and sole purposeis to tear^own every barrier for the pro-tection of the ballot box in New Yorkcity. It is to repeat the acts recently en-acted in Cohoes, when Democratic policeofficers themselves seized the ballot boxesand raided the polls.

The simple question is whether theToters of the State will submit to these:£hings ? Will they continue to counten-;ance a party whose successes will subvertfree government in the whole nation as it"has in this State ? Will they be a partyto another treasonable plot as black asthat of Jefferson Davis, and fraughtwith greater danger, because in defianceof all law and pointing to absolute an-archy.

This is a serious question for Democrats,as well as Republicans, and they will dowell to pause and consider whether self-interest, and all that as citizens of a free

. government, they hold dear, do not de-mand that they cut loose from a partythat would drag them down to ruin.Remember the events of 1860 and 1861.Remember that the Southern rebellion'Wtias inaugurated under a national Demo-cratic administration. Remember thatthe leaders of the rebellion were the leaders of the national Democracy, and takewarning for the future before it is too.late. Cannot Democrats better afford to

^sacrifice their party than their country ?

Flower Obeys the Bosses.*<r©vernor Flower has done what his

J: masters expected of him. Acting underthe direct dictation of Hill and Croker hehas signed the Tweed Inspectors bill andthe infamous Excise bill. The nature ofthese measures has been thoroughly ex-posed. One is a scheme to enable Tam-many to carry New York State by fraud,and the other is a scheme to enable Tam-many's allies, the saloon keepers, to sellliquor twenty-four hours in the day sevendays in the week. Both bills were whollyvicious, and both were condemned bydecent public sentiment. But Flowerhas chosen to disregard the indignantprotests of representative citizens of bothparties. He has proved himself oncemore the humble tool of the bosses. Hisaction will prove disastrous not only tohimself but to his party.

New York World, the NewYork Times., the New York Evening Post,

4,he Brooklyn Eagle, the Buffalo Courier,and otker leading and independent-aninded newspapers throughout the Stateopposed the enactment of the bill destroy-ing the non-partisan composition of theboards of election inspectors in the cityof New York and converting them intoTammany bodies. Roswell P. Flowerlias undone the reform work of SamuelJ . Tilden and Charles O'Cohor, and casthis lot with the Tweeds and the Crokers.

| y T h e one phenomenon the editor ofthe Democratic newspapers and thestatesmen of that party can not explainla fche wonderful growth of the UnitedStates in the past thirty years notwith-standing during all save four years of

/that time it has been the helpless nationf of "Republican misrule and oppression."

About the only thing in all those years• which has not been improved and devel-«. *yped is the principles of the Democratici party.

iBSPRepresentative Boutelle of Maine,"•'Mr. Elaine's close friend, has receivedmemorom congratulations upon hisrenomination by acclamation by the Re-publican convention of his district. Thisis Mr. Boutelle'n seventh consecutiverenommatiou to Con grow by acclama-tion, and his political earner is unique inthe fact that during itw entire wurse hehas never encountered un adverse voteeither in a canvass or convention.

fSTThe Democrats seek to repeal theSugar Bounty law. They Hhould go thene*t step and offer a bill ro-inij>oning theduty on sugar. Senator Roger (<4>, Millssaid in Ohio last fall that ho would putthe duty back on sugar, because it ia prac-tically a revenue tax, owing to the littlesugar produced in thia country. That inexactly why the Republicans took it ofF.MillH justifies the Republican action.

THE NEW CONGRESS DISTRICTS.The following important action was

taken:Whereas, The Legislature of 1892 by a

law passed at its annual session, changed,altered and created new congressionaldistricts in this State; and

Whereas, A member of Congress to bevoted for at the next general electionmust be nominated in each of said dis-tricts, and

Whereas, In none of the said existingdistricts is there any committee or com-petent authority to call said conventionor agree upon a basis of representativestherein, and

Wliereas, No power or authority to fixand determine these questions exists inany of these districts but is lodged whollyin this convention; therefore be it

Resolved, First, that the State Conven-tion be and is hereby authorized and em-powered to fix, determine and if necessaryappoint the committee in each Congres-sional district that shall call the first con-gressional convention in each of the saidexisting districts; second, that the Statecommittee be and is hereby authorizedand empowered to fix and determine thebasis of representation in each of the ex-isting districts in the first convention tobe held therein and to fix and determinethe number of delegates and the mannerand method of choosing the same in eachof the said conventions; third, the firstconvention in said districts respectivelychosen as above provided, shall adjudgeand determine these questions and appointa committee to call futnre conventions,and may fix the basis of representationtherein, and said convention may alter,reverse arid modify the determination ofthe State committee.

Following will be found the clear andcomprehensive resolutions adopted by theconvention. Also extracts of the ableand convincing speech of the temporarychairman, Hon. William A. Sutherland,of Rochester, setting forth in a truthfullight the dangers that now threaten ourfree institutions, that must be met at thecoming Presidential election.

THE PLATFORM.Resolutions Adopted by die Republi-

can State Convention.The Republicans of the State of New

York, in convention assembled, reaffirmthe platform of the national Republicanconvention of 1888, and we congratulatePresident Harrison on the success of anadministration which has most saga-ciously, courageously and conscientiouslyfollowed out the principles and fulfilledthe pledges promulgated in that platform.In every department the highest qualitiesof statesmanship have been exhibited,commanding respect and confidence athome and winning new glories for therepublic abroad.

The Republican party has a right to askthe approval and support of all good citi-zens for the policy it has pursued in rev-enue legislation; for the fruits, now ap-parent, of the McKinley tariff, underwhich agriculture has been encouraged,manufactures extended, trade promotedand labor benefited; and for the systemof reciprocity which has added greatly toour commerce with other nations on termsof mutual benefit, to the extent of increas-ing more than 50 per cent, and in somecases doubling, our exports of the pro-ducts of the factory and the farm. In theHucceas of this administration we recog-nize the consummate ability of PresidentHarrison and the wisdom and sagacity ofInn cabinet, and especially of his chiefabinet officer, James G. Blaine, whoae

strong hold upon and intimate relation-ship with the rrnmagomenfc of public af-fairs have been of lasting benefit to theAmerican people.

FOR AN HONEST DOLLAR.We cordially endorse the vigorous dec-

laration of I'renidont ilarrmon made inthe city of Albany m fuvor of un honest

dollar. We commend the Republicanmembers of Congress for having securedthe defeat of a free silver bill, the effectof which would have been to derangevalues, impair contract obligations, re-duce the pay of labor and debase the cur-rency.

The people must continue to look to theRepublican party to maintain the goodfaith of the nation in matters of finance,pledged as it is to keep any dollar bearingthe stamp of the United States at parwith gold, and to repel the assaults of thereckless advocates of free and unlimitedcoinage of silver.

We denounce the treatment of the col-ored people in the South as barbarousand continued, in defiance of the lawsand the federal constitution, for the solepurpose of perpetuating Democratic con-trol of that section, and we tender to thepeople thus oppressed our cordial sym-pathy and our most earnest efforts for theamelioration of their condition.

THE DEMOCRATS ARRAIGNED.We arraign the Democratic party of

this State through its recognized leadersas guilty of a conspiracy against the con-stitutional rights of the people; a conspir-acy which involved the falsification ofelection returns; the removal of faithfulcounty officers and the pardon of a dulysentenced criminal; the theft and sup-pression of public records by sworn Stateofficers (one of whom was promptly re-warded for his crime by elevation to theseat on the highest court in the State);the over-riding of the decision of theCourt of Appeals and various other rev-olutionary and criminal acts which cul-minated in the reversal of the politicalmajority of the Legislature as determinedby the verdict of the people at the polls.

THE LEGISLATURE DENOUNCED.

We denounce the Legislature thusfeloniously constituted for its violation ofthe principles of genuine home rule inenacting notoriously partisan charteramendments; for granting valuable fran-chises to political favorites without recom-pense to the people; for the attempted in-vasion of Central park; for its removal ofwholesome restrictions upon the liquortraffic; for its wasteful expenditures ofthe people's money which have increasedthe tax rate 44 per cent over that of lastyear; for its utter failure to keep its ante-election pledges in behalf of ballot reformand tax reform; for its broken promisesto the workingmen; for its whitewashingof a guilty judge of the Court of Appeals;for its return to the methods of Tweed inits inquitious measures conferring uponTammany officials absolute control of theboards of election inspectors in the city ofNew York; for constantly legislating forits partisan aggrandizement against therural districts; for its unconstitutionaland fraudulent midwinter enumerationby which the population of the rural dis-tricts was diminished and that of thecities enormously increased, as the basisof an apportionment by which the repre-sentation of Republican portions of thestate in the Legislature and in Congresswere reduced and all the increase given.to Democratic cities, as is signally illus-trated by the fact that Republican Mon-loe, with 181,000 population, receives on-ly three Assemblymen, while DemocraticAlbany, with 156,000 population, isawarded four.

While these crimes were plotted andperpetrated by David B. Hill and his fel-low-conspirators, the Democratic party,except the individuals who refuse tosanction the revolutionary measures, hasbeen itself full partaker in the guilt by itsgreedy seizure of the fruits of the felonyand its vicious and shameless use of thefraud-made majority in the Legislature.

DANGEROUS MEASURES.The Democratic party is further made

responsible for the whole conspiracy, in-cluding the theft of the Dutchess returns,by the report of its committee to investi-gate the charges preferred by the BarAssociation of New York against IsaacH. Maynard; by the votes in both housesto sustain that report, and by the appoint-ment and retention of said Maynard onthe bench of the Court of Appeals, for anoffense by law punishable by fine and im-prisonment.

Such abhorrent and dangerous meas-ures summon the electors to unite to de-fend the purity of the ballot and the final-ity of the legally expressed will of themajority; and this convention invites all

e e g a y epressed will of themajority; and this convention invites* allthe people, regardless of previous partylines, to join in condemnation and rebukef th l f th L i l t d thof the larceny of the Legislature and the

degradation of the bench of our highesttribunal. The Republican party is theonly organization free from the controlof the principals and the accessories ofthese crimes, and through it alone canthe wrongs perpetrated be corrected andpunished and their repetition be prevent-ed.

The resolutions were adopted unani-mously.

Tin Plate Industry Grows.Ira Ayer, special agent of the Treasury

department, has, pursuant to instructions,submitted to Secretary Foster an exhaus-tive report on the tin plate business of thecountry, the manufacture of tin plate andthe growth of the industry.

Mr. Ayer's report makes the followingshowing: Quarter ended September 30,

five manufacturers reported: Tinplates, 152,489 pounds; terne plates, 674,433 pounds; total, 826,922 pounds. Quar-ter ended December 31, eleven manufac-turers reported: Tin plates, 215,911pounds; terne plates, 1,193,910 pounds;total, 1,409,821 pounds. Quarter endedMarch 31, 1892, nineteen manufacturersreported: Tin plates, 1,099,656 pounds;terne plates, 1,904,431 pounds; total,3,004,087 pounds.

These figures do not include the pro-duction of sheet iron or sheet steel used inthe manufacture of articles tinned orterne plated estimated at 2,000,000 pounds.

President Harrison Strong.It is claimed by President Harrison's

friends at Washington, that he will berenominated on the first ballot. Theyclaim to have kept track of the State andDistrict conventions which have instruct-ed for President Harrison, and the resultis as follows:

Alabama, 22; Arkansas, 16; California,2; Florida, 8; Illinois, 5; Indiana, 30;Kansas, -8; Kentucky, 26, Maryland, 4;Michigan, 4; Mississippi, 18; Missouri, 34;Nebraska, 16; New York, 26; Ohio, 6;South Carolina, 18;South Dakota, 8; Ten-nessee, 2; Texas, 30; Virginia, 8; Wiscon-sin, 10. Total instructed delegates, 302.

In addition to these, they say PresidentHarrison is assured of 211 more votes,making a total of 513. This, they say,insures renomination with 63 votes tospare.

Delivered Before the RepublicanState Convention,

Who can expect free institutions tosurvive 50, or even 25 years, if in thisgreat Empire State, policemen may with-out protest enter the polling places andsnatch from the lawful custodians thevery ballot-boxes into which have fallenthe expressions of the will of the people?

And yet the action of the police at Co-hoes -was the legitimate outgrowth, themere logical projection of the action ofIsaac H. Maynard, when he feloniouslyabstracted from a public office of the Stateof New York, from an office created bythe people, an official record sent there inpursuance of the statutes and of the re-peated orders of the court.

The attempted overthrow of popularwill by force at Cohoes was no morethreatening to the foundations of ourgovernment than was the conduct ofFrank Rice, Edward Wemple, Elliott F.Danforth> Charles F. Tabor and John Bogart, who conspired together to suppresslawful returns, to count returns adjudgedto be unlawful, to steal one branch of theState government; and whose doings inthese respects were under the advice ofthe deputy attorney-general of the State,under the command of the Governor ofthe State, and have met with no rebuke HaTtng recently leased tne Delaware House,from any party organ, or any resolution j Cor, Peru and Bridge Sts., I will run it in connec-of any State or any county convention of tion wltn the Piattsburgn Honsa Tie bouse Hasthe Democratic party. j Seen entirely refitted and furnished, and is in

line- two other lawvers a t the i7 t l 1 a a y o f M*1^, 1892, In and to the followingsame evening iLincoln dinner in the city of New York,uncovered these same villianies. I do notforget that a lawyer pursued through thelabyrinths of legal procedure the lines oflegal research which brought these vil-lainies into public view. I do not forgetthat other members of the professionmoved to righteous, wra th by the publica-tion of these facts, entered upon an in-dependent investigation, and, in behalf ofthe entire Bar Association of the city ofNew York, pronounced upon the conductof Isaac H. Maynard, in the hearing of allthe people of the State. I do not forgetthat some-of the lawyers I have namedare Republicans, nor that some of themare Democrats. I assert, however, tha tnone of them acted in this matter becauseof their membership in any political party.Those members of the Bar Association ofthe city of New York who have placed anineffaceable brand upon Isaac H. Maynardwere not moved by party reasons, norwere they actuated by partisan motives.They were moved by

"that respect for lawWhich no favor sways, no fear can awe."

All honor to a profession which containswithin its ranks men so true to law itselfthat they have risen above their party incondemnation of an unrighteous judge.But they did not bring their party upwith them. Their par ty has no wherespoken in condemnation even of thisjudge, much less has it reproved the StateBoard of Canvassers, every member ofwhich entered in to a conspiracy wi thIsaac H. Maynard to deliver the EmpireState, bound hand and foot, into the ten-der mercies of David B. Hill.

A CHIME NEXT TO TREASON.The Supreme Court of the State of Wis-

consin in the case of "McDill vs the StateCanvassers" used jihese words :

"He who by fraud or by wilful disre-gard of his sworn duty, defeats the wilof the people as expressed by their votes,commits a political crime next to treason.''

And therefore it is, as all men know,that if a Republican Board of State Can-vassers had disregarded their sworn duty,and had contemptuously disobeyed thecommands of Republican judges afterthose commands had been affirmed by aRepublican Court of Appeals, and if thesethings had been done upon the commandof a Republican governor, if that sameRepublican governor afterwards rakinga seat in the United States Senate, hadcome back again to the city of Albany,and supervised, produced and insistedupon the infamous work of the recentLegislature; then if that ex-Governor andSenator had, as a Republican, gone backto Washington and engaged himself inbedeviling the members of the House ofRepresentatives into overturning in anelection contest, the solemn judgment of13 out of 15 members of its committee onelections; if these and other crimes pass-ing description, the mere recounting ofwhich would consume hours of time, hadbeen done by Republican officials, therewould not be left in New York this fallenough members of the Republican partyto serve as inspectors of election at thevarious polling places.

Not so with our political enemies. TheDemocratic party, as a party, glories inthe shame of the last few months. Thatparty has educated even good men in itsranks to wink at, ay, to take part in thedeepest and1 most damning of villianies.

Look at the picture of Prank Rice.Elected District Attorney in a Republicancounty. Elected to the Legislature froma Republican county. Elected countyjudge of a Republican county. Twiceelected to the office of Secretary of State.To him there came an opportunity suchas has come to none other in the presentgeneration. If it had not been that thecounsels of the very devils in hell werepouring into his ears, he would have risenin his place at the head of the table aboutwhich were gathered the Board of StateCanvassers and there, in three minutestime, would have electrified the nationand placed himself upon the pedestal ofeverlasting fame. But the votes of con-fidence theretofore given him by hisfriends and neighbors weighed nothing inthe balance against his party command.His oath of office and the mandates of the

mrts were but wisps of straw againstthe strivings of political burglars operatingin the interest of the Democratic party.

Instead of standing up and declaringhis intention to abide by the decisions ofthe courts and to respect the law of theland, he and his fellow canvassers kneltin a charmed circle and worshippedMephistopheles himself as he pronouncedthe magic words, "I am a Democrat."In that worship they are yet bowed.Their crime is yet unrebuked by theirparty. They promise to repeat the samecrimes this fall, and tho way of escapefor the State and for the nation will onlybe opened by Republican hands.
