V, o | romptly caused an enumeration of the inhabitants to be tak en. a constitutional duty long neglected by ottr opponents for partisan reasons, which was followed hy an apportionment so fair and just as to bu absolutely beyond criticism, an ap-portionment which quick ly responds to public sentiment, an ap portionment w hi< h properly gave us tbe assembly in 1892, when we carried the »tate by 40,000 majority, and which gavo our adversaries both ti.s senate and as- ■embly when they Inadvertently carried the state last fall by only 24,000 majority, a result which vindicated and compli mented the absolute fairness and justness jf our Demo' rntic statute 1 lie people have not forgotten that tin- lerthe Republican apporti nment which existed in 1891. end which had existed for rears, and which they arbitrarily refused to change, although we carried tbe state by 50.000 majority, yet the senate was tlcse, and our opponents by fraud end technicalities sought to deprive us of that -ontrol to which we wore rightfully en titled as the dominant party of the state. We demand an apportionment which ■hall quickly and faithfully respond to public sentiment, whether it is for or against us. which shall fully recognize the oqutility of every citizen, so that an hon est lalxtring man living in his humble home or a tenement house In a great city shall ocunt as much as the occupant of a palace or th« owners of thousands of acres in the country. The Republican constitutional conven tion now in session, whose work Is largely a miserable failure and was only "damned with faint praise" in tbe Republican plat form of last week, has invented a schema to deprive the threat Democratic cities of tbe state of their just share of representa tion—a scheme which actually provides that an Increase of population In such cities shall not furrlsh a basis for In creased representation In tbe legislature. Never was there a greater political outrage deliberately contemplated and conceived to enable a desperate party to retain pow er against the will of the people. This partisan and nefarious attack upon the political rights of our party should arouse every Democrat worthy of the name and lead him to do his utmost to secure the dofeat of the whole work of that infamous convention, some of the memliers of which are under criminal prosecution for al leged bribery in receiving or giving votes for the apportionment article. It Is a fitting commentary upon the men and work of that convention that a scheme conceived In iniquity to deprive a polit ical party of its just rights should be based and supported upon bribery and corruption. The Democratic party in this state stands, as it has ever stood, for that reli gious liberty which is guaranteed to all by our constitution, and I arraign the Re publican party for Its covert sympathy with and encouragement of that proscrip tive spirit which attempts to set up a reli gious test as a qualification for official preferment In this land of freedom, and which is propagated by a certain secret political organization which deserves exe cration at the hands of every fair minded man, but which tbo Republican state con vention last week distinctly refused, though earnestly urged, to condemn. Our duty Is plain, and I believe we shall i>er'orm ft, and if percbanoe adher ence to the right brings disaster we shall bravely accept our fate and take our place in private station by the side of our pro scribed fellow citizens until reason, jus tice and true religious freedom shall again resume their sway, as surely they will. The administration of Roswell P. Flow er has been honest, bold and earnest In be half of the best interests of the state. He retires from the high official position which ho honored with the confidence and respect of his party, tbe esteem and good will of all classes and with the conscious ness of duty well and faithfully performed. The record of his public service adds lus ter to the Empire State, and I take pleas ure in adding my testimony to the fact that he has made one ot the best govern ors we ever had. His able associate, Lieutenant Governor William F. Sheehan, has endeared himself to tlie Democratic party, whose cause he has always zealously espoused. Young, vigorous and brilliant, other and higher honors await him in the future at tbe hands of a devoted constltu ency. Fellow Dome ratlet tn not underesti mate the dangers which confront us. We .shall encounter Ute cohort of corruption in this campaign, led hy audacious and unscrupulous leaders who nre fighting not only for the control of New York, but for the control of tlie country. Wo are on tbe skirmish lino of tlie great national battle of 189«, and tbo loss of New York may lose our parly the presidency. The whole country is breathlessly and hopefully watching our contest, and we must do our full duty. Sinking every prejudice, subordinating every selfish con sideration. actuated only by high and patriotic motives, realizing how much is at stako to be won or lost, mindful of the grand traditions which lielong to the party of Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden, knowing that a united Democracy In this state means qn old fashioned Democratic r'umi'h. let us buckle on our armor and march together, like tbe Macedonian rhalar.x of old.
