COLUMBUS, June 3.-The following Is
the platform as unanimously adopted by
the Convention yesterday:
| The Republicans OF Ohio, in conven-
| tion assembled, reaff1rming the cardinal
principles OF their organization, which
| have become received maxims of policy,
State and national, declares on specific
points the series Of sentiments following: !:
First-The States are one rs q nation,
and all citizens are equal under the laws,
and entitled to their fullest protection.
Second-That the policy of finance
should be steadily pursued which, with
out unnecessary shock to business or
trade, will ultimately equalize the pur-
chasing 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,
our public school system, the taxation
of all for it's support, and no division OF
the school fund.
Filth-Under our republican system of
government there should be no cOnnec-
tion, direct or indirect, between Church
and State, and we oppose all legislation
in the interest OF any particular sect.
| Upon this subject we should not fail to
profit by the experience of foreign gov
ernments, where the efforts OF the Church
to control the State constitute 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 industry
from the oppression OF m0n0pOlies in ad'
minlstl alton.
| Seyenth-A grateful people can never
cease to remember the services OF Our
soldiers and sailors, and 1t is due to them
that liberality and generosity should OBJ.
tain in the adjustment Of pay and boun
ties. -
4 Eighth-That we demand that the pub
lie domain shall be scrupulousIy reserved
for occupancy by actual settlers.
Ninth-The determination Of the Gov
ernment to collect the revenue, and pre-
vent and punish frauds, has our unqual.
itied approval.
Tenth--lhat the power of municipal
Corporations to create debts should be
Restricted, and local and other expendi.
lures should be 80 reduced 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, re.
garded as fundamental rule In the un.
written law Of the republic.
