The Following Platform was Enthu-
siasticaIIy Adopted:
The Democratic party of Ohio in State
Convention assembled do proclaim the
following platform of political faith and
action:
First-A sacred adherence to the prin-
cipes Of government, declared and put
in practical operation by the fathers Of
the Republic.
Second-Opposition to aggressions by
OF har ,f 0l.
upon the function of the others, and to
the exercise by federal authority of any
of the powers reserved by the Constitu-
ton to the States respectively, or to that
people.
Third-The protection of the govern
ment to all citizens, without regard to
race, color or previous condition of serv-
itude,
Fourth-The Presidents services
should be limited to one term, at salary
of $4,000 year.
Fiflh-Retrenchment and reform in
every department Of the government
Federal, State and local
Sixth-No grants of land or money by
the Government. or the use of lts credit
to railroads, steamships or other COM
panies.
Seyenth-Thc preservation Of the rem
nant of public lands for the benefit of
citizens of the United State and foreign
cmigrants, who have declared their in
tention to become such and who will oc-
cupy and cultivate the same
Eighth-That the contraction Of the
currency heretofore made by the Repub.
lican party and the further contraction
by it with view to the forced
resumption OF specie payments,
has already brought disaster 70 the
business of the country, and threaten it
with general bankruptcy and ruin. We
demand that this policy be abandoned,
and that the volume Of currency b" made
and kept equal to the wants Of trade.
leaving the restoration of legal tenders to
par with gold to be- brought about by
the industries of the people
and not by destroying them.
Ninth-That the policy already initia-
ted by the Republican party Of abolishing
legal tenders, and giving National Banks
the power TO furnish all the currency
will il crease the power of an
already dangerous monopoly, and
the enormous burdens now expressing
the people without any compenssting
advantage, and that We oppose to this
policy the demand that all the National
bank circulation be bepromptly and perma.
nently retired, aud legal tenders be issued
in their place.
Tcnth-That public interest demands
that the government should cease to dis.
credit its own currency, and should make
Its legal tenders receivable for all public
dues. except where respect for the obl-
CATION of contracts requires payment in
coin, and that we favor the payment Of
at least ono-half of the customs in legal
tenders.
leventh-The extinction of the pres
ent National banks, and the establish
ment in their stead, of system Of free
banks of discount and deposit, only un-
der such regulations as the States may
respectively prescribe, and no paper cur
rency except such as may be issued d.
rcctly by and upon the faith Of the gen
erul government.
TwelNh-A tariff for the sole purpose
OF revenue.
Thirteenth-We favor the complete
separation Of church and State religions,
and absolute freedom of
opinions, equal and exact justice to all
religious societies, and purely secular
education at the expense OF the
taxpayer without division among,
or controlled by any sect, directly or in
directly, of any portion of the school
fund. In view of the admirable pro-
visions Of our State constitution upon
these subjects, which are due to the
energy and wisdom Of the Democratic
party, we denounce the Republican plat
form as an insult to the intelligence Of
the people of OHIO and base appeal to
sectarian prcjudices.
Fourteenth That We are opposed to
the passage of what are called sumptuarv
laws or any interference with the social
habits or customs. not in themselves
criminal, and we reprobate any espionage
by one class of citizens upon another
under any pretence whatever. With
this declaration of principles and policy
we arraign the leaders Of the Republican
party for their eXtravagant expenditure
and protIigatc waste OF the people mon
ey, for their oppressive unjust and deiec-
tive system of finance and taxation ana
for their continued tyranny and cruelty
to the Southern States Of the
Union; for their squandering.of the public
lands: for their continuGn c Of incomPe-
tent and corrupt men in office, a. home
and abroad. aLd for their general MS
management Of the government; and we
cordially invite all men, without regard
to past party associations, 10 cooperate
with Us in cxpeIling them from power
and in securing such an administration OF
psblic affairs rs characterized the purer
and better days Of the Republic.
