Fourth. We stand by free education,
our public school system, the taxation
Of all for its support, and no division Of
the school fund.
Fifth. Under our Republican system
OF government there should be no con.
nection, direct or indirect, between
church and state, and We oppose al
Legislation in the interest of any partic-
ular sect upon this subject. We should
not fail to profit by the experiences %
foreign governments where the efforts
of the church to control the state con
stitute an evil of great magnitude and
endangers the power and prosperity OF
the people.
Sixth. We demand such a revision
of the patent laws as will relieve indus
try from the oppression Of monopolies.
Seventh. A grateful people can new
er cease to remember the services of our
soldiers and sailors, and it is due to them
that liberality and generosity should OBJ
tain in the ajustment of pay and boun-
ties.
Eight. That we demand that the
public domain shall be scrupulously re-
served for occupancy by actual aettlers.
Ninth. The determination of the
Government to collect the revenues and
prevent and punish frauds, has our un-
qualified approval.
Tenth. That the power of municipal
corporations to create debts should be
restricted, and local and other expendi-
lures should be reduced so as to dimin-
ish taxation.
Eleventh. The observance of Wash
ington's example in retiring at the close
of a second Presidential term, will be in
the future, as it has been in the past,
regarded as fundamental rule in the
unwritten law of the Republic.
Twelfth. The distinguished success
of his administration, which, to the fame
of the patriot and soldier has'added that
of the capable and judicious statesman,
entities President Grant to the gratitude
of his countrymen.
Next came the
NOMINATION OF THE LIEUTENANT GOV
ERNoR,
The first ballot did the business as
follows: General Thomas Young, of
Hamilton, 400; Wales, of Stark, Co. GA;
Gardener, of Washington county, "a;
Edwards, 10.
The nomination of General Young,
which was tribute to the Taft interest,
was then made unanimous and the bluff
Cincinnatian was called to the stage and
made jolly little speech, accepting the
nomination as tribute to Hamilton CO.,
for which he thanked the Convention.
HAYES NOMINATION MADE UNANIMOUS.
Mr.. Charles P. Taft, son of Judge
Taft, now claimed the floor, and in a
graceful speech moved to make the NOM
ination of Governor Hayes unanimous.
This was the one thing needed torelieve
Hayes from all possible embarrassment,
and the whole convention stood up and
passed Mr. Taft's motion with three
cheers. The little cloud of trouble was
now all gone, and every one felt that the
coast was clear for straight, harmon
ious campaign. With this state of feel
ing the convention took up the '.I
NOMINATION OF TREASURER, Il
For which there was a cloud of candi-
dates. 1t was a long, tedious ballot,
and at the end the following men led the
field: Turney, of Cuyahoga, 109 votes;
Milligan, of Butler, 81; Oglevee, of
40; Wooster, of Huron,
II. There was no choice, and a second
ballot gave Turney 228 votes and Milli-
gan 141. The Grange element now
came to the front and demanded the
nomination of Miligan as a representa-
live of the farming interest. Two or
three strong speeches were made in his
favor, and third ballot carried him
through with 321 votes, Turney receiv-
ing 1S1.
Mr.. Brinsmade in short speech |
moved to make Milligan's nomination
unanimous, which was done with great |
sclat. Mr.. Sherrey followed with a i
brief valedictory 50 well put that many
who had voted against him were sorry
,or his defeat
There remained only
MEMBER OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To be chosen, and Cuyahoga put for
ward Peter Thatcher, who was at ho-
tel somewhere, unconscious that he was
a candidate for anything. Four or five
other men were named, but Thatcher
swept the neld on the hrst ballot with
362 votes. His face when he heard of it
was study for an artist.
This closed the work, and
WITH THREE CHEERS
For Governor Hayes, the platform and
the ticket, the convention adjourned.
Everybody is happy and the enthusiasm
here tonight is of that confident, ag-
gressive kind that wins victories.
DISPATCH FROM GOVERNOR HAYES
Read during the last moments of the
session was as follows:
''ln obedience to the will of the con-
vention I withdraw my objections and
accept the nomination.
Thus was the days work made com
plete.
