The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1878-06-27
OHIO REPUBLICAN PLiTEUKH.

Tne principles OF the Republican party, as
written IN the history OF the country, as
. specifically declared IN tie National Plst-
7 loTiu OF TIE party, a. made sacred by the
q blood OF patriots shed n defense OF union
and freedom, We hereby realiirII. To the
I soldiers VINO sacrificed 80 mucl in defense
t OF our country, there is debt Oi gratitude
due which eau never De fully discharged.
. The pledges made by the republican party,
3 ana Dy our patriotic people, axe binding.
I sacred OJll CATION never 70 Ue IN p9irgL, but
/ 10 the fullest extent 10 be fulfilled.
I We therefore CenOUuce as uupatrI0tic,
4 Eeurtless and infamous, the act Of tie OHIO
| Legislature introduced 10y deSerter, bOuu-
\ ty-Jumper and convict, intended and calCu-
I lated to drive from the Soldiers Orphans
l Home the OTphanSlnu children Of deceased
/ or disabled sOldiers, or 20 rob the widows
I and families OF SIch patriots OF the plttance
paid 10 them by the Government Of the
I United states, and demand It's uncOndi-
! tiOnal repeal.
! The financial question having been dis
/ posed OF by Congress, and the country at
present needing repOse in order that capital
may seek investment, and that industries
may revive thus increasing the demand for
| labor the situation ought TO be accepted,
/ and We oppose the further agitation OF the
question al this time as Injurious TO busi-
ness and devoid OF other than evil results.
/ The disposition exhibited by cOnsery ative
men IN the South to oppose the revolution
/ ary method on the part of the Northern
| Democrats, Us shown nrst In their refusal to
| oppose the cOnsummation OF the electoral
| count, and more lately in the expression OF
| sentiments IN ulsapprObatiOn OF the pro-
posed attack upon the Presidents title, Is
J received As promising omen, and the Re-
| pRblicans OF Ohio cordially greet such citi-
/ Zens OF the South as adhere IN good faith 10
/ the terms upon which the issues OF the war
were settled, including the constitutional
| amendments guaranteeing equal civil and
political rights, free speech, a free press an
uneTammeled ballot 70 all citizens. Upon
| these conditions alone can sectional strife
/ be allayed, and the sectional lines which
/ now dlssOciate in a great measure the South
from the North should be obliterated.
! y tarlil tOr revenue should be maintained
| and so adjusted as TO secure incidental pro-
| lection OF home industry. True economy
/ requires that the Government should make
sufficient appropriations TO carry forward
/ the work on all public buildings without
delay, and this should especially be the aim
when the supply Of labor is in excess OF the
demand.
The mining interests of Ohio require an
| Inspection law intelligently administered
anu we condemn the action OF the Cover
nor in proStituttng that department., (the
object OF which should be to project life and
promote the comfort of miners) TO a mere
partisan purpose.
The revolutionary movement inaugural
ed under cover of Investigation, but really
as an attack upon the Presidents title, cal
culated as 10 Is TO MeXicanize the affairs of
this country, 10 cause general distrust, To
PROSTATE our industries and aggravate and
prclOng the distress of the lab0ring and in
dustrtal classes we unquestiOnably con-
denim.
President Hayes having been duly elected
and his title subsequently settled under the
Constitution by the highest tribunal and by
the act OF both political parties, II cannot be
questioned, and We recognize in his admin
lstratiOn the highest integrity and patriot
ism; the most sincere effort to promote pO
litical purity and harmony and secure gem
eral business prosperity throughout the
whole country.
The present Legislature is n warning to
the people of the Stste, and n proof of the
dangerous character OF the Democratic par
ty. The majority Of that body, in an unu-
sually long session, passed no law for the
benefit or the people OF the State, but they
revOlutiOEiZed every State Institution to
make places for Democratic partisans they
suDOrdinatcd the welfare OF the insane, the
blind, the mute and the orphans 10 the in
terests OF the Democratic party, The Con-
stttutiOn having never contemplated more
than one Congressional districung OF the
State during a term OF ten years between
tho taking of cenSuSeS, we condemn the re-
cent outrageous and unjust redistricting of
the State by the Legislgture In violation OF
usage and at the dictatiOn of Speaker Ran
dali, by which, on the basis OF the vote OF
the last Presidential election, when "A ma
jOrity Of the votes east was Republican, the
Democrats would be enabled TO carry four.
teen out of twenty congressman.
