FAvoR1NG REVOLUTION.
The following is the substance of the reso-
lutlons offered be VIM. Ampt and which were

Thlrd-Ihat we tender the PROSTATE Repub-

struggle for political liberty, and we will
always honor the name Of General Grant for
his patriotic efforts in behalf of Southern Re-

The committee on resolutions made the fol-
lowing report, which was adopted:
THE PLATFORM
The PRINCIPLES of the Re1ublican marty "a written
in the history of the country and as specifically de-
cared in the national platform of the party is
sacred by the blood OF the patriots shed in defence
of the Union and freedom,
We hereby reattirm to the soldiers who sacrificed
so much IN defence of our common country, there
discharged. The pledges made by the Republican
party and by our patriotic people, is binding and
sacred obligation to be forgotten, never to be
impaired, but to the fullest extent to be fulfilled. We
therefore denounce unpatriotic heartless and
famous the act of the Ohio legislature introduced BY
deserer bounty jumper and convict, intended and
calculated to drive from the Soldiers Orphans home
the orphans and children of deceased or disabled
soldiers, or to rob the widows and families of such
patriots of the pittance paid them by the government
OF the United States and demand its unconditional
| repeal.
The financial question having been disposed 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
Tor labor, the situation ought to be accepted,
oppose the further agitation Of the question at this
than evil results.
AS the disposition is exhibited by conservative
men in the South to oppose the revolutionary method
on the part OF Northern Democrats shown first in
their refusal to oppose the contamination of the
electoral count and more lately in the expression OF
sentiment and disapprobation of the proposed at
tack on the Presidents title, the Republicans OF
Ohio cordially greet such citizens of the South as adj
here in good faith to the terms on which the issues
Of the settled, including the constitutional
amendments guaranteeing equal civil and political
froor, o,,1 o1o Il
ballot to all citizens. Upon these conditions alone
can sectional strife be alayed, and sectional lines
which now divide in great measure the South from
the North, be obliterated.
A tariff for revenue should be maintained and so
adjusted as to secure incidental protection to home
industry.
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 inspection
law intellgently administered, and we condemn the
action OF the governor in prostitutng that depart
ment, the object of which should be to protect life
and promote the comfort of miners, to mere par
tisan purpose.
The revolutionary arrangement inaugurated under
cover of investigations but really as an attack upon
the Presidential title, calculated as to Mexicanze
the affairs Of this country, to general dstrust
to PROSTATE our industries and aggravate and pro.
long the distress of 1aborng and industrial classes
we unqualifedly condemn. 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 cannot be
| toned, and we recognize in his administration
| the highest integrity and patriotism, the
most sincere effort to promote political purity and
| harmony, and secure general business prosperity
| throughout the whole country.
The present legislature is warning to the people
Of the State and proof of the dangerous character
OF the Democratic party The majority Of that body
in an unusually long session, passed law for the
benefit Of the people of the State, but they revou
tonized everything in the consti tuition to make
places for Democratic partisans. They subordnatec
the welfare of the insane, the blind the mute and or
phans, to the interest of the Democratic party. The
constitution having never contemplated more thar
congressional redistricting of the State by the
legislature in violation of usage and at the dcatio1

vote of the last Presidential election when maiorit,
of the votes cast were Republican, the Democrats
will be enabled to carry fourteen out Of the twent,
