Hon. Martin Welker, Chairman oi
the Committee on Resolutions, ther
the platform, which is as
follows:
ReSolUed, by the Republicans of Ohio IL
Cnvention assembled, as follows:
First-The Republican party of the United
States may well challenge the admiration and
confidence Of the country for its patriotism
courage and wisdom in preserving the Union
of the States, for its Justice, frmness and
In establishing for all the people
liberty and equality before the law, for its
gratitude to and provision for the national de.
Tenders and pensioners, for honor and good
faith toward the national creditors, and gene
rally for the successful administration of pub.
lie affairs in peace as In war.
Second-We not only recognize the thir
teentb, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments o.
the Constitution of the United States as &C.
comphshed facts, but also as Just, wise and
valid articles Of organic law, to be jealousy
defended and enforced as parts of the consti,
10 I,
Third-As it will be necessary and desirable
to obtain from duties on imports large por
ton of the revenues needed to defray the ex
penses of the Government, to pay the interesi
on the national debt and the principal as il
natures, such duties should be so adjusted as
not to prejudice but promote the interests Of
every section and branch of industry, as fan
as may be possible.
FOurth-The present administration of the
National Government has Yindicated its right
to the continued confidence of the people. Its
success has been illustrated in the impartial
execution Of the law, in its faithfulness, hon
esty and economy in the collection of the pub
ic revenues, and in the expenses Of the Gov
eminent so that, while taxation has been re-
duced to the extent Of one hundred millions
Of dollars per year, the national debt has been
paid to the amount Of over two hundred and
thirty millions, reduction unparalleled in
history. The administration has been equally
In the management of our foreign
and has achieved imperishable honor
in the settlement Of our differences with Great
Britain upon terms creditable to both countries
IS embodied in the treaty of Washington.
The head of the administration thus distin-
yuished by success and craftsmanship Is Justly
entitled to be regarded as wise and careful
civil magistrate. and his uniform Difference to
public sentiments shows him to be one whom
the country may trust, having fully redeemed
the pledge he made before entering upon the
duties OF chief magistrate that he would have
no policy of his own to enforce against the will
Of the people.
Fifth-We repeat our condemnation OF the
policy of granting subsidies Of public lands to
and monopoies, and having
the policy OF granting homesteads
TO actual settlers, we declare that the public
domain should be kept for our laborng popu-
alton.
Sixth-We are in favor of the adoption of a
thorough system of civil service reform, and
we indorse heartily the action of President
Grant in selecting Commissioners under the
action of the recent so-eaIled civil service act.
Seventh-We unite with our fellow citizens
IN every portion of the Union in the hope that
be soon ended, and that the day may soon
come, when, in every State, every citizen may
be safe in life, person, property and civil rights,
and may have the equal protection Of the laws,
80 that no man that was loyal to the Union
during the great struggle may for that reason
be the victim Of persecution, outrage and as
sassination, and so that some encouragement
NAV be offered for the removal in proper
cases OF political disabilities for participation
in the rebellion.
Eighth-We recommend the calling of a
convention to amend the Constitution Of the
State.
Ninth-We express our unqualified ap-
proval of the administration of our present
State Executive, Governor r. B. Hayei, and
assure him that our verdict is "WeH done,
good and faithful servant"

Resolutions was adopted by a ire
mendous "Aye," with loud and long
continued applause.
