STUACUSE , N. Y. , May 81. The democrats
opposed to Hill nnd his tnld-wlntor snap con
vention mot in stale convention bora this
nftornoon. The convention was called to
order by ex-Socrotary of the Treasury Fairchild -
child , chairman of the atato committee.
Fulrcluld made n brief speech , In which ho
spoke of the strength of the movement
ugalnst Hill , aud Its growth slnco the con
vention was called , nnd said : "Wo have
only to go on In n spirit of Justice firmly nu-1
calmly to accomplish what wo believe will do
moro for the democratic party in the state ot
Now York than all the other political move
ments iu Iho last generation. "
John D. Kernan of Onotducounty was then
made temporary chairman. Ho made an extended -
tended nnd ringing speech.
When Kernan mentioned the name of
Cleveland tno convention rose as ono man
and payo vent to Its footings in nn extra
ordinary burstofenthusiasm. Thospcakor's
reference to silver mot quick recognition.
After the appointment of committees the
convention took a recess.
During thu recess the delegations mot by
congressional districts to elect members to
each of the committees that had been pro
vided for before Intermission. The commit
tees then BO constituted mot at the various
hotels to do the work apportioned to each.
The convention reassembled at 4:15 : and
the temporary organization was made per
manent.
E. E. Anderson , " chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions , sent up to Secretary Bald
win the platform ns prepared nnd revised by
the committee during roccss. It reads :
Illlllon-Uollar Concross Chestnut.
Wo , the delegates ot the democratic party
of the state of Now York , assembled In con
vention at Syracuse , declare that Iho most
urgent necessity of tbo union is n radical re
form In the administration of the federal
government. Wo declare that the demo
cratic party ulono Is true to the people nnd
alone can bo trusted to administer the gov
ernment of this nation In their interest.
Wo denounce the republican party for its
nhuso of power during the past four years.
Obtaining iu 1889 control of the executive
mid both branches ot congress , that party
immediately entered upon a course of extrav
agance , ty'rauny and fraud. It found tno
trcnury In rerelpt of a largo and increasing
surplus , but disregarding the duty thus Im
posed upon it to relieve the people from the
oppressive tariff taxation so lone endured ,
the republican party , throuch Its "billion-
dollar congress , " unacted appropriations
amounting to .100,000,000 annually.
Moro Onuses tor Complaint.
It made most of theio appropriations per
manent , so that they cannot bo reduced by
the present democratic house ot representa
tives without the concurrence ot Iho repub
lican senate. It turned a magnificent sur
plus Into an imminent deficiency.
It wont to lengths of class IcgMation be
fore unheard of by enacting its McKinley
bill.
bill.It deprived the state of Now York of Its
just representation In concross und in the
electoral college by a fraudulent census.
It , displayed nn uttorcontompt for economy
nnd honesty by Its fraudulent administra
tion of the pension ofllco.
It reached a climax of partisan oppression
In Its strenuous oudenvor to enact into law
the Infamous force bill.
An Allcgcil Oilloiis Comparison.
Contrasted with this history of extrava
gance nnd oppression , wo recall with over in
creasing satisfaction the wlso nnd prudent
democratic administration of Grover Cleve
land. Ho pointed out In his message uf Do-
ccmhor. 1S.S7. the true mission of the demo-
erotic party , and though temporarily defeat
ed ho urought It to the magnificent victories
of Ib'JU ' and 1891. All this has boon remem
bered by our oroihron in other states from
the Atlantic to the Pacific , and Now York ,
wo emphatically declare , shall not be a blank
space upon Iho democratic map.
"Tlio I'arlirin u Tax. "
Wo denounce the McKinley tariff.Vo declare -
clare that a tariff is n tax ; that nil taxation
Is a burden ; that it should never exceed the
necessities of a government wisely aud eco
nomically administered.
Wo rondnnm the present tarifT , not only
bccausq.it is excessive and restrictive of the
commercial development of the country , but
because It has been enacted in the Interests of
n few at the expense and for the oppression
of the masses of the pooplo. Class legisla
tion does * not increase the receipts of wage-
earners , but it turns over to the protected
manufacturers , ever becoming moro nnd
more rapacious , the federal treasury and the
taxing power of the federal government to
use for their own bcncllt , and it leaves it to
them to decide whatharnr not tbo waco-carn-
ors they employ shall receive any part of this
enormous bounty. It is an Inexhaustible
Eourco of corruption , n constant menace to
free government. It hnssnpped the Indepen
dence of industry and Induces men to seeU to
crow rich by official favoritism rather than
through their own exertions.
Democracy'H Urgent MUslon ,
An Inevitable conscquenco is that the class
in recinptof those vast favors should seek to
pcrpotuato their grasp upon the government
by supplying , in practically unlimited
amounts , the money with which an electorate
may bo corrupted and popular government
decried , The democratic party bus no more
nrL'ont milsion than to destroy a system pro
ductive of so much evil. In n spirit of moderation -
oration , with due regard to the interests of
the capital now Invested und thu labor now
employed in protected Industries , the para
mount duty of the party Is to continue Its
opposition to the tarltT until all customs tux-
'ntion Is cnuctod for revenue only ,
Thu recent chnngo In the pulley of tbo ro-
publtcnn party from a general system of high
tariff taxes to the reciprocity system Is an
admission of the vast benefits derived from
the extension of our foreign trade and of tbo
Justice of tariff reform principle.
The .SlUer Oiivnttoii. '
Wo approve the use of both gold and silver
ns money , but wo demand that ull dollars ,
Whether gold or silver , shall bo equal In
vyluo to each other In fact , its well us by
declaration of law. Wo are opposed to the
frco colnago of silver by the United States
ulono at the existing ratio of sixteen to ono ,
because wo believe that free coinage ut that
ratio will result In thu tuimoulato disap-
ncarauco of gold from the business of thtb
country aud the use of silver with certain
loss to every wiigo earner nnd every savings
bank depositor , with Impairment of credit
nnd disastrous disturbance of business of
ovury kind.
Wo demand tbo repeal of the Sherman
silver law of Ib'.K ' ) as an obtiructlou ot
internal bl-motalllsm , und because it la
rapidly bringing this country to silver
monometallism with all of Its attending
ovlls ,
llill'i Simp Soundly Denounced.
Wo rccognlto tbo necessity of an organiza
tion , through the party may direct its
energies , but when such nn organization
claims to bo the party Itself , instead of its
Instrument , when it biipprcssei the voice
bud misrepresents the doslro of tbo party ,
when It calls the caucusics at unaccustomed
icaioni und upon insufficient notice * ,
whou , rocardlot * of tbo votes
ca&t , It places upon the convention
roll and admits to the convention
ouly those two , without respect to the volco
and withes of their constituents , will afioo
In advance to support the schemes aud Iho
oligarchy It has establlihea ; when It glvn
notice * lu Rdvaauo that they who will not
kgreo to and bq subservient to this will not
bo admitted , then u ceases to bo representa
tive , creates discontent , arouse * rusvutmcut
nnd Imperils the success of the partv. In
this emergency H becomes the duty of the
original elements of the fnrty to take i > uch
notion ns will restore to tt Just relations between -
tweon Its members nnd their agents.
\Vo believe lu and demand fair primaries ,
inlr conventions , fair elections , fair returns
nnd the faithful observance ot the verdict of
the ballot box.
Clotolnnil Is the Man.
The democratic party retains unshaken
confidence In the ability and loftv Integrity
of Grover Cleveland and hs ! devotion to pub-
lit ! duty. Ho Is the choice of nn overwhelm
ing majority of tbo democrats of New York ,
nnd tbo country may relv with confidence on
his ability to carry the stale triumphantly in
November. Wo bcllavo that by nominating
him to lead the party In the approaching con
test for the presidency the national conven
tion will carry out the almost unanimous
wish of the party nnd host consult the wel
fare of the country.
The delegation chosen by this convention
Is Instructed to act ns a unit according to thu
determination of n majority of its members.
Moved to intlin lnsm.
Tlio denouncement of the mid-winter con
vention was greeted with vociferous applause.
The reference to Grover Cleveland as being
able to car.'y Now Yont stnto again moved
the convention to its foot and n storm ot up-
plause , whtlo the affirmation that this con
vention and Its constituencies would support
the nominee nt Chicago , whoever ho might
bo , wns greeted b > a burst of dinars that
loft no doubt as to the purpose of the con
vention ,
At tbo close of tbo reading the throns wns
ngaln upon its foot and tto applause was long
and uproarious.
At or.cu William Lounsborry of Kingston
wn upon his feet upon the stogo to second
the resolution. Ho said :
"Of the favorite sons of tbo different
states , no ono seems now to bo urging him
self. When they thoughtfully consider the
question , it comes back to tlu oid maxim ,
The office of president Is not to bo sought ,
or declined. ' Wo nra not , therefore , troubled
with candidates. The ofllco is once moro
seeking the man the man logical to the sit
uation. Cleveland Is to bo nominated by two-
thirds or by acclamation.
"As to the matter of platform , wo Imvo nn
equally clear course. The triumph of the
doctrine of measuring tax by the needs ot
the government in ISIOloft the nubjout out
of dispute until the needs of war inaugurated
protection not us a doctrine , hut as a condi
tion. When the war needs were over , n revenue -
enuo tariff became a condition. It was de
manded by successive democratic conven
tions and became woven into our party creed
as tbo streams wears into the mountain side.
It was announced by President Cleveland ns
soon as the democrats had the president to
announce it. lie spoke the partv belief in
words of lire. Cleveland Is the nominee of
logic und wo only need to stand by him.
Truth is mlgnty and will prevail. "

WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. , Mny 31. Mr. Sher
man's Rpeoch lu opposition to tbo bill for the
free coinage of gold and sltvor was tbo fea
ture In the senate today. 'Iho llrst two
hours of the session were given , ns usual , to
the morning business and to the considera
tion of bills on the calendar , of which thirty
were passed. There were few of them , now-
over , of any public Importance. During
lucso two hours listlcssnoss prevailed in the
senate , the average number of souators present -
ont being not mora than twoniy-flvo. But
that listlcssnoss disappeared and the sonntu
chamber filled up ns Mr. Sherman pro
ceeded with his speech. All around him on
the republican sldo of the chamber his col
leagues settled themselves In their chairs
and faced him with na air of marked atten
tion. It was the same on the democratic
sldo. During the two and n half hours that
Mr. Shcrican snoko , but few senators loft
the chamber. Fully seventy of thorn re
mained in their seats nearly all the time ,
paying uloso attention to the argument. Mr.
Sherman's manner was forcible , his volco
clear and strong , and he spoke like'1 ono who
felt deeply the Importance of carrying con
viction to his hearers. Although bo was in
terrupted on several occasions ho did not
allow himself to bo diverted from the course
which ho bud marked out for himself.
The calendar wns laid usido and the hill to
provide for the free coinage of cold and sil
ver was taken up. Sherman began bis
speech on the subject.
.Senator Slicrmnn'n Speech.
Five states , ho said , were largely Inter
ested in the production ot silver nnd were
ubly represented in the senate. The south
scorned also to Imvo caught something of the
spirit that actuates the mining states , because -
cause It doslrod , not exactly free coinage
of silver , but an expansion of the currency ,
cheaper mnnoy , a , broader credit. It was
also rcprcKcutcd larccly in the senate lu
favor ot the frco coinage of silver. And so
in other parts of the country. Ho repre
senting n state nearly central in population
had tested the sense of the uooplo of Ohio
and tioy ( ho believed ) were by n larun ma
jority , i.ot only iu the republican parly , but
in the democratic party , opposed to the free
colnngo of Mlvor. They believed that It
would degrade the body of the currency ,
reduce Its purchasing power ouo-third ,
destroy the bimetallic system of the country
to Iho single monetary standard of silver
measured at the rate of 871 grains to the
dollar.
Ho wnnt on to dotond the ilnnncial action
of thorepublican party acd his action in it.
In a passing allusion to the national hanking
system Mr. Sherman said that these banks
would soon pass away not because they
were not the best banks lu tbo world , but
because the United States bonds on which
they rested would be paid off. No man had
ever lost a single dollar on tbo nates of a
failed national Dank , depositors bad lost
something bore and there , but very llttlo.
The system , therefore , bad fully Justified
Itself.
Concerning ; the T.nw of 1873.
Coining to the dropping of tbo silver dollnr
from Iho coinage In Ib73 nnd the substitu
tion of the trade dollar for It , ho said that
wns dona on the representations nnd petition
ot the legislature of California the people of
that and the other stiver mining states want
ing to transport their silver to China. The
total amount of silver dollars coined from
the foundation of the government up to 1S73
had been a llttlo over 8,000,000 mid at that
time the silver dollar was obsolete , dead and
burled. No ono wanted It. It wns there
fore unfair unO unmanly to arraign the gen
tlemen who had chariro of tno bill which had
demonetized silver. The only trouble about
that law wns that senators were not as wlso
as the Almltrhty and could not see
ahead. If It had been known that silver was
going to fall as rapidly os it did ho would
have kept the silver dollnr and put It on the
same footing us the fractional silver. The
suspension ot silver coinage by the Latin
union bad given another blow to sliver , and
tbo Increased production of silver had given
it another blow. It was not true that ho was
unfriendly to silver.
Mr. Sherman then went on to denounce the
bill under consideration as wrong in princi
ple , wrong In detail , wrong in every aspect
n fraud on the creditor , a deception to the
debtor and demoralizing to gold. Tbo advo
cacy of the free coinage of silver , ho said ,
was dome more than anything to disturb the
business interests of the country.
At this point Mr , Sherman yielded to a
motion to adjourn.

complications are likely to grow out of this

If the archbishop refuses to comply with

excitement. The archbishop Is very Indig
