Platform of the New-York Democracy,

ADOPTED BY THE CONVENTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE STATE OF NEW-YORK, AT SYRACUSE, SEPTEMBER 16, 1874.

[blocks in formation]

8. Free men: a uniform excise law; no sumptuary laws.

9. Official accountability enforced by better civil and criminal remedies: no private use of public funds by public officers.

10. Corporations chartered by the State always supervisable by the State in the interest of the people.

11. The party in power responsible for all legislation while in power.

12. The Presidency a public trust, not a pri vate perquisite: no third term.

13. Economy in the public expense, that la bor may be lightly burdened.

The Democrats of New-York, in convention assembled, recognizing the independence and the patriotism of the Liberal Republicans, who, preferring principles to party, shall unite with them in opposing the present State and national administrations, commend to their support and to the approval of all honest and independent citizens the foregoing platform and the nominces of this convention.

The World-Notices of the Press.

FRANK AND OUTSPOKEN.

Merrimac (N. H.) Journal.

The New-York WORLD is the great Democratic organ. The editorials of this paper, written mainly by Mr. Manton Marble, are models of elegance and force. We recollect especially a denunciation by him of Mr. Theodore Tilton, which, for biting sarcasm and withering scorn, would compare with any of the famous letters of Junius. The WORLD is very frank and outspoken, and does not hesitate to castigate its party soundly if they leave the line of rectitude.

THE WORLD AND THE PATRONS.
Patrons' Helper.

The New-York WORLD, the leading Democra tic newspaper of the United States, is edited with unsurpassed ability, thorough devotion to the principles it advocates, and a liberality and spirit which justly entitle it to the wide circulation and great influence it possesses. It is looking carefully to the interest of the farmers, and worthy of their support. The WEEKLY WORLD has an untiring and very discreet gatherer of grange news, and its Patrons' column is alike Instructive and interesting.

FIRST CLASS.

Vincennes (Ind.) Sun.

While differing from the WORLD as to the policy of the Democratic party, we can récommend it to our Indiana friends as an able paper, and in the general sense of the term a first-class newspaper.

THE BEST PAPER IN AMERICA.

Bainbridge (I.) Chief.

Those of our Democratic friends who want a paper that advocates and teaches Simon pure Democracy, should lose no time in subscribing for the New-York WORLD. Able, powerful, and consistent, it is the paper that can be relied upon every time, and those who follow its teachings will not be apt to get far out of the way politically.

AT THE HEAD.

Warsaw (N.Y.) Democrat.

It is needless to speak for that able Democratic journal, the New-York WORLD. It has rapidly risen to the foremost rank, and now stands at the head of the great dailies. No Democrat should fail to read its offers for the coming year, so pregnant with events.
