The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-04-04

United States had its origin in the ne
essities of the nation, and since it
came into power has decreed and eX
ecuted measures by which liberty ha:
been procured and the Union save,
from dismemberment and overthrow
Among the disOrganizatiOn and con.
I fusion that existed at the close Of the
I rebellion, the Republican party ex.
I ercised its organizing and restoring
I power, and has succeeded in the diff
| cult task Of complete restoration,
and has established freedom and
Z equal rights to all people by irrev0ca-
I ble guarantee. In this work the Re
publican party mas shown its wisdom
and patriotism, and by its unswerv-
ing good faith toward its national
creditors it has vindicated the natiOn-
al integrity and honor.
, No other party known t. histO-
~ has so grand a record, and no 9TH
er party in the United States can 50
proudly challenge the continued con-
fidence Of the people, and we declare
that the good of the country demands
that-the Republican party should con-
tinue to administer the govermens.
3. We renew our expressions Of con
fidence in the present administration
Of the general government. Since iJ
came into power the taxes upon the
people have been reduced, and the
public revenues have been carefully
collected aud honestly applied, so that
while the burden of taxation has been
lightened, the public debt has been di-
minished, both in the amount of prin-
cipal and in the rate of interest. The
administration deserves also the earn
est approval of every lover Of Justice,
order, aud law, for the prompt and
efficient manner in which il has sup
pressed the Ku-Klux disorders and
prosecutions Of loyal citizens in the
South, a protection due from every
good government to its people; and
we refer with great satisfaction and
pride to the system of pensions and
bOuntie5 provided for our brave SOL
diers and sailors, and the homes fOun-
ded and maintained for such as were
disabled in the service of their cOun-
try. These manifestations of public
gratitude and justice must command
the approval of every patriot. We
commend the policy of fairness and
kindness toward the Indian tribes, as
showing the wisdom and humanity
of the President, and in his efforts to
reform the civil service we recognize
laudable desire to promote its eff.
cheney and purity; and in the man
agement OfOur foreign relations, inclu-
ding he important question of inter-
national law involved in the treaty
of Washington, the administration
has shown rare wisdom, courage, and
dignity, and has maintained the hon
or of the nation untarnished.
4. A large portion of the revenue
necessary TO defray the current ex-
penses Of the government, and to pay
Its liabilities must be derived from du
ties on imports. These duties should
be levied with q view to equalize their
burdens and benefits among the peO-
pie, and so as to promote, as far as
possible, the interests of every section
and branch of industry, and so that
labor of every kind may have con-
stant emplyment and just reward.
5. We are opposed to further grants
of the public lands to corporations
and mOHOpOlies, and demand that the
national domain be set apart for
the people and for purposes of educa-
ton.
6. As there can be no domestic in
dustry without union of capital and
labor, therefore we are in favor of
such legislation as will give all proper
guarantees for the safety and prosper
ity of one and the Temunerative in
vestment of the other.
Z. We have unbrOken confidence in
the integrity, prudence, and patriot
ism of President Grant, and are in
favor of his denomination for a second
term; and we present to the Republic
can party for the nomination for Vice
President of the United States, the
name of OhiO's first war Governor,
Hon. William DennisOn, a man emf
nently worthy of that high office.
Mr.. Bogardus, of Huron County,
offered a resolution instructing the
General Assembly to proceed at once
with redistricting the State into con-
gressional districts.
Charles Kahn, jr., moved to lay the
resolution on the table, which prevail
ed, the convention not considering it
any part Of its duty to instruct the
Legislature, and having already
shown its desire for redistricting by
refusing.tO vote for a Congressman al
large.
On motion of Mr.. Kahn, the con-
ventiOn then adjourned.
