The second dav of the New York State Republican Convention Conven-tion opened cold and stormy. During the night there were many conferences. The committee on resolutions heard several delegations dele-gations during the night and worked till a fate hour. The chaplain of the Senate, Rev. Dr. Leech, urged the committee to take a square and BOLD STAND ON THK TEMPERANCE QUK3TION And recommend a constitutional amendment amend-ment regulating or prohibiting the liquor traffic. Some members of tho : committee favored the proposition, but a great majority were opposed to formulating any temperance temper-ance plank. It was not until 10:30 that the chaplain offered prayer. Immediately thereafter there-after ex-Assemblyman ' David Healey, of Monroe, was voted permission to address t he convention in behalf of labor interests. He warned the convention that MERE PROMISES WZRE USELESS. The Democratic Convention that meets tomorrow to-morrow might outbid the one that adjourns to-day. General Sharp rose at the close of Healey1 s address and moved that the committee on resolutions be instructed to consider the points raised by Healey, and if deemed advisable, ad-visable, to embody them in the platform. The chairman of the committee on resolutions, resolu-tions, Col. George Bliss, replied that the Elatf orm had already been agreed upon. He elieved that the laboring men would find on reading it that the points raised by Healey Hea-ley had been fully recognized. . The oommittee on resolutions then reported report-ed the platform. Many passages in the platform plat-form were applauded, notably one referring to oonvict labor. THI FIiATFOBU WAS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED.
