nue. tariff. which closely approx
rangement Of any revenue tariff, all
the necessaries of lite should be ab

Reso1ued, That the Internal reve-
nue. system of the United States is
unendurahle Il its OPP ressive exac-
tions: that it should be Immediately
remodeled, that it's annoyances of
stamps and licences and taxes upon
sales and incomes should be abol-
ished. That the tax itself should
be collected by the State and county
officials; and that the multiplication
Of officers is wholly unnecessary,
except to eat out the resources of
the taxpayers and that we pledge
ourselves to effect a thorough re
form in this particular. We de-
nounce the profigacy in the present
administration of the Federal Gov
ernment, the corruption With has
entered all the official stations, the
favoritism which overlooking fit
ness for office has appointed to po
sitions of public trust the friends OF
tools of those who control the pub
lie patronage, and the imbecillty
which directs the destinies of he
Republic, without an apparent pur-
pose, and manages its affairs with
euch embarrassment and disaster to
the material interests Of the people
at home, and with such DISCARD OF
the rights and liberties Of its citi-
zens abroad.
Reso!ved, That land monopoly is
one Of the greatest evils of our
country and against the spirit Of our
Institutions; that the whole of oul
public lands ought to be held as q
sacred trust to secure homesteads
for actual settlers; we therefore de
nounce the recent action of Con

are already too. powerful and may
become dangerous to a free. people
Resolved, That we regard the act
recently passed by Congress to en-
force the Fifteenth Amendment >
as unconstitutional, unjust and op

CT the States subversive of the best
interests of the people, and there
fore demand it's unconditional re.
peal.
Resolued, That the power of the
Federal Government to assess and
collect taxes on the Bonds of the
United States is clear and unques
toned and we demand of Congress,
that a share Of taxation equal to the
fair average amount held in each
State on money loaned, shall be as
scssed and collected from all invest
ments in Bonds.
Resolred, That we are opposed
to the system of National Banks
and demand the immediate repeal
of the law creating them, and that
in place Of the notes Of such banks,
treasury notes of the United States
should be substituted.
Resozued. That the Democracy OF
Ohio sympathize with the efforts O:
all people struggling for self gov
ernment, and that we denounce the
trucking of the Federal Admins
tration to Great Britain and Spain,
and the efforts of the party in pow
er to reduce whole States in our
Union to a condition of vissalage
to the general Government.
Resolued, That the thanks of the
Democracy of Ohio are extended
to our Senator, Allen G. Thurman,
and the Democratic representatives
in Congress. who, though small in
minority, have bravely .eontended
for the principles of Democracy
and the interests of the people.
Resolved, That upon the forego
ing platform, we invite all the elec-
tors of Ohio, without regard to
vast differences, to vote for the
ticket this day nominated.
The resolutions were adopted
with a provokingly large squad vo-
ting no.
Mr.. Heisely was called out and
spoke his thanks for the trust re-
posed in him. He would still per-
severe in well doing in the party,
and hoped to see all young Demo
Gratis doing good work.
The Convention, with members
on the run for the door, adjourned
sine die.
