THE OHIO DEMOCRACY.
Pendleton Endorsed Thurman Com
demned

fendlef0n Endorsed Con-
demned.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 26.-The Democratic
STATE convention, in session here, adopted the
Io1poWlng platform with great unanimitp:
RESOLVED, That sound currency is lndispeps-
able to the welfare of the country; that its
volume should be regulated by the necessities
OF business; and all laws that interfere with
such natural regulations are vicious in principle
and detrimental in their effects We are in
favor of such increase in the circulating
medium as the business interests of the coun.
try may from time to time require. That
4ound policy and justice require that not less
than one half of The custom duties should be
paid in legal tender notes.
mat the power OF the national banks to
issue and loan their notes upon interest is a
power to draw interest upon their debts while
the people pay interest upon what they owe
That this special and unequal privilege ought
not to exist unless it is manifest that in no
piled.
Believing that a better system can be devised
and one that will be free from unjust privi-
leges, We are in favor of abolishing the fran
chise OF the national banks to issue paper
currency as soon as the same can be safely
be done, and that notes SO withdrawn be sub
stituted by the government with legal tender
currency.
That the Democracy of Ohio reiterate their
declaration that the 500 bonds, by the letter
and spirit Of the law and the general under
standing OF the community, were payable in
legal tender notes; and the act of March, 1869,
which pledged the faith of their payment in
coin, was an unnecessary and wicked sacrifice
OF the interests of the tax-paying laborers for
tne oeneht OF non.tax paying bondholders.
That the present tariff is oppressive, and
should be repealed or. modified.
That all combinations to increase the cost of
transportation should be checked by law.
That the strictest economy shonld be insisted
upon in all departments of the government
The resolutions furthor denounce the civil
rights bill and arraign the Republican party
for tyranny over the South, and call upon all
good men to aid the Democracy to rescue the
government from the hands Of the Republi-
cans
The following nominations were made: For
Secretary of State, William Bell School Com
Court w. j. Gilmore; Clerk of Supreme
Court, Arnold Green; Member of the Board of
Public Works, Martin Skiller
