Union Republican State Platform,
June %, 1869.

l. Resolved, That, as citizens of
the nation, representing the Repub-
lican sentiment of an honored com
monwealth, we regard with sincere
satisfaction the fidelity evinced by
Gen. Grant to the Republican party,
and his policy both foreign and do
mcstic, and Of his national admins
tration, and pledge our cordial sup
port to the measures anaugurated to
insure conciliation, economy, and
justice at home, and CO rmand con-
sideration and respect abroad.
2. Resolved, That we hail with the
profoundest satisfaction the patriot
ic and constitutional declaration of
President Grant, in his Inaugural
Address, that while he will on all
subjects have policy to recomend
to Congress, he will have none to
enforce against the will of the peo
plea sentiment which assures the
county of an executive administra-
ton founded on the models of the
administrations of Washington and
Madison, and that will insure to
Congress the unrestricted exercise
Of its constitutional functions, and
% the people their rlghful control
of the Government. ...
3. Resolved, That the abolishment
of slavery was natural and neces
sary consequence of the war of the
ebellion, and that the reconstruc-
ton of the Southern States, and Sc
cure the blessings of liberty and a
free government, and as a compile
ton of those measures, and firmly
believing in its essential justice, we
are in favor of the adoption of the
10Th amendment to the Constitu-
ton.
4. ResolUed, That the late Demo
cratic General Assembly in it's reck-
less expenditure Of public money
its utter neglect of the business in
terests Of the State by falling to
enact the wise and much needed
financial measures providing for the
assessment and equalization of tax
alton prepared by the commission
appointed by the preceding General
Assembly; its hostility to our be
nevolent and literary institutions
its failure to carry out the repeated
pledges of the Democratic party to
secure economy in the State it's ex-
traordinary length ofsession in time
of peace, resulting in an expense to
the State amounting, for the pay of
its members alone, to more than
double that of the previous General
Assembly; its malignant attempts
to disfranchise disabled soldiers and
other citizens of the State; it's at
tempt to take from the General
Government the right to pursue,
arrest, and punish those who violate
the laws made in pursuance of the
Constitution of the United States,
and the various acts intended to de-
stroy the power of the nation to pre-
serve and protect the liberty and
and safety of its citizens, has shown
the Democratic party unworthy of
the trust, confidence, and support of
an honest and patriotic people.
RESOLVED, That the Republic an
party of Ohio is in favor of speedy
establishment Of a Soldiers Or
phans' Home in Ohio, not only as
an act of justice to the many poor
and helpless orphans of deceased
soldiers, but as recognition of the
patriotic services of their fathers in
the late war, and for the purpose Of
redeeming the pledges made by all
loyal people to protect the families
of those who fought and fell in the
cause of human liberty and right.
