Martin Walker, chairman of committee
on resolutions reported the following
platform which was unanimously adop-
ted. Resolved by the Republicans of
Ohio in convention assembled.
l. The republican party of the U. S. |
may well challenge the admiration and
confidence of the country for its patrio- |
tism, courage and wisdom in preserv-
ing the Union of the States, for its JUS
tice, firmness, and magnamity in estab- |
fishing for all the people, liberty and |
equality before the law for its gratitude |
and generous provision for the national |
defenders and pensioners, for its invio- |
late honor and good faith toward the |
national creditors, and generally for its |
successful administration of public af- |
fairs in peace as well as in war.
2. We not only recognize the 18th, |
18th and 18th amendments to the con- |
stitution of the u. S. as accomplished |
facts, but also as just, wise, and valid |
articles of organic laws to be jealousy /
defended and enforced as parts of the |
| Constitution, now, hencefOrth, and for
ever.
3. AS it will be necessary and desir- |
able to obtain from duties on imports a |
large portion of the revenues needed to |
defray the expenses of the government |
| to pay the interest on the national debt, |
and the principal as it natures, such |
duties should be 80 adjusted as not to
prejudice, but promote the interest |
of every section and branch of industry |
as far as may it be possible to do so. |
The present administration of the ma
tionai government has indicated its |
right to the continued confidence of the |
people, its success has been illustrated |
| in the important execution of Jaws, in /
its faithfulness, honesty, and economy /
in the collection of public revenues and |
in the expenses of the government, so |
| that while taxation has been reduced to |
the extent of one hundred million of
dollars per year the national debt has |
| been liquidated to the amount of over |
| go millions, a reduction unparalleled |
in history. The administration has been |
equally successful in the management |
of our foreign relations, and has achiev- |
ed inperishable honor in the settlement |
of our differences with Great Britain |
upon terms creditable to both countries, /
as embodied in the treaty at Washing
ton. The head of administrators thus |
distinguished by successful stateman-
ship, is justly entitled to be regarded |
as wise and careful civil magistrate, |
and his uniform Difference to public |
sentiment shows him to be one whom |
the country may fully trust, having re- |
deemed the pledge be made before en- |
tering upon the duties of chief magis- |
trate, that he would have no policy |
of his own to enforce against the will |
of the people.
5. We repeat our condemnation of |
the policy of granting subsidies of pub |
lie lads to corporations and monopolis |
and having originated the policy of
granting homesteads to actual settlers, |
we declare that the public domain |
should be kept for our laboring popula- |
ton.
6. We are in favor of the adoption of
a thorough system of civil service and
reform, and we endorse heartily the
action of President Grant In settling the
commissions under the recent act called
civil service act.
Z. We unite with our fellow citizens
in every portion of the Union in the
hope that the enmities and resentments
of the war may be speedily ended and
that the day may soon come when in
4 every State, every citizen may be
safe in life, person, property, and civil
rights, and may have the equal protec-
ton of the laws so that no man who
was loyal to the Union during the great
struggle will for that reason be victim
of persecution, outrage, and assassina-
ton, and so that some encouragement
may be offered for the removal in all
proper cases of political disability i'm
posed by the rebellion.
8. We recommend the calling of a
convention to amend the Constitution
of the State.
BERLIN, June 24.-An imperative de-

representative in London, informing
