Republican State Platform.

The representatives Of Ohio, in con-
vention assembled, reaffirning the car
dinal principles of their organization,
which have become the received mAxims
of the policy of the State and nation,
declare on specific points the series Of
sentiments following:
First. The States are one as a nation,
and all the citizens are equal under the
laws, and entitled to their fullest pro-
lection.
Second That a policy of finance should
be steadily pursued which, without un-
necessary shock to business or trade,
will ultimately equalize the purchasing
capacity Of the coin and paper dollar.
Third. We are in favor of tariff for
revenue, with incidental protection to
American industry.
Fourth. We stand by free education,
nur pnhlic school, system, the taxation
of all for its support, and no division of
the school fund.
Fifth. Under ourRepublican system of
government there should be no connec-
ton, direct or indirect, between church
and state, and we oppose all legisla
ton in the interest of any particular
sect upon this subject. We should not
fail to profit by the experience of for
eign governments where the efforts of
the church to control the state consti-
tute an evil of great magnitude and en-
dangers the power and prosperity of the
people.
Sixth. We demand such a revision of
the patent laws as will relieve industry
from the expressions Of monopolies.
Seventh. A grateful people can never
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 adjustment OF pay and boun-
ties.
Eighth. That we demand that the
public domain shall be scrupnlously re-
served for occupancy by actual settlers.
Ninth. The determination of the Gov
eFnment 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
TO a second Presidential term, will be in
the future, as ii has been in the past, re-
garded as a fundamental rule in the un-
written law of the Republic.
Twelfth. The distinguished success of
bis 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.

THE OUTLOOK.

1t is a noteworthy fact and one that
viii have an important bearing on the
approaching campaign that while the
Democracy are divided in sentiment
upon nearly every question at Issue, the
Republicans are more united than they
have been for years. This is especially
so with regard to the position of each
party upon the currency question. We
publish elsewhere extracts from the
lending Democratic papers outside of
Ohio, all of which denounce without
stint the utterance of the Ohio Demo-
cratic Convention on this important
question and condemn without mercy
the "bIind guides, aud the cowardly
guides that are not blind" who have
committed the party in the State to the
fatal heresy of imitation. For a heresy
il certainly II, and one that will be over
wheimingly repudiated by the American
people at the polls. In opposition to
this, and in tie support of a sound basis
for the national currsney the Republican
party is a unit.
Again, upon the question Of maintain
ing public secular instruction by general
taxation the Democracy are fully as
mneh demoralized. The unequivocal
position they were forced to assume
relative to a division of the School Fund
viii not have tendency to make that
''soiid Unbroken vote of the Catholics
which the Telegraph promises to bring
to their support, a very enthusiastic ally,
while their marked omission to declare
in favor of general tax for the support of
the schools will naturally beget suspi-
eiOa in the minds of those of the party
who are not willing to accept the dicta-
ton of the Catholic priesthood in the
matter of popular education. The Re-
publican position ia this respect is posi-
tive and Gne9uivocal, and there can be
no difference of opinion upon it by the
Republicans of the State. Whether the
Democracy have succeeded in straddling
the question so as to secure the support
of the friends of free schools, and at the
same time retain the TtlegrapHs ''solid
unbroken Catholic vote" is a question
more easily propognded than answered.
On every hand are seen indications of
= arm union Of the Republican elements.
The present position of the Democratic
panty Of the State, its shamelessIy ayow-
.ad pNPudiafion thAary. and its snhs0r-
yiency to the "soIid, unbroken Catholic
cote" has served 10 unite and enthuse
fhe Republican ranks. Lukewarm or
dissatisfied Republicans see nothing but
disaster in the triumph of the rag paper
and free whisky policy enunciated by the
Democratic party in Ohio.

Mr.. PEYDLETON, in his speech, says
that there is glut Of money lying idle
in the money centres because of the de-
preston in business, and the Democrat
ic platform arraigns the Republican
party for contracting the currency, and
demands that 'the volume of currency
be made and kept equal to the wants of
trade" Now, If Mr. PendIeton is cor
rect in his assertion, does it not prove that
the volume Of currency is now beyond
the wants of trade? And in that case
isn't contraction Just the thing that is
needed to reduce it and make it equal
with the wants of trade" Surely the
Democratic platform is the strangest
bundle OF Inconsistencies ever presented
to people.

THE "BLLYD GUIDES. "

The total national debt at the close Of
war, adjusted and unsdiusted, was esti-
mated at g, 900, 900, 900. On the first
of March last it was q, 1S7, ,315, $50, show
ing a reduction in nine and half years
of S862. 6s4, OIL, or at the rate OF over
$50, OOO, 900 per annum. Nothing coll
parable with this has been accomplished
by any other nation. France, whose
recuperative powers since the Franco
Prussian war, has been matter OF sur
prise and wonder, has recently set apart
S45, 900, 600 per annum to apply On the
extinguishment of her debt-iust one
half of the sum which has been paid an
nuaIly by the United States. And this
is nearly double what that nation has
heretofore paid. Let it be remembered
that this reduction of our Indebtedness
has been made in face of almost unin-
terrupted curtailUent of taxation, and
in spite Of a weakened credit abroad,
caused and intensified by the clamors and
demands of Democratic repudiationists
and infiatationists.
In view of these facts, can a more alb
surd spectacle be beimagined than the hoOt-
ings Of the concourse Of Democratic owls
recently assembled at Columbus! "The
policy of the Republican party il respect
to finance, brought disaster to the bust
ness interests of the country, and threat
ems it with general bankruptcy and ru-
in" is the lugubrious note that is piped
by these birds Of ill-omen. And in the
next breath they demand that the Gov
ernment shall cut loose from all thought
of specie basis, and fix upon an indefi-
mite basis for the currency which they
term ''the wants of trade" Who is TO
measure the "wants of trade" Is it
PendIeton! Is it Sam. Careyl How will
Senator Thurman's estimate of the
''wants Of trade" compare with Sam. Ca
rey's? These are questions which will
require solution before the people are
ready to accept this shinplaster theory
of finance.

THE Cleveland Plain Dealer, which
cannot go the currency plank in the
Democratic platform, says that plat
forms are at best, mere formal platitudes
That Is one thing that the people of the
State fear-that when the Catholics de
mand separate schools and n division Of
the schoal fund, and the Catholic 7ele-
graph cracks its whip as it did last win
ter over the Geghan bill, the Plum DedI-
er and its party friends will consider the
School plank Of their platform n 'form-
al platitude" and will hasten to seek the
favor of the-''solid umbrOken Catholic
vote"by yielding to their demands. What
can you expect of a party that presents
the spectacle of running a hard money
man for Governor on a rag money plat
form, and Maine Liquor law man for
Lieut. Governor on free whisky plat
