OHIO REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The principles Of the Republican party. as
written IN the history OF the country. as
specifically declared in the National Plat
form Of the party, as made sacred by the
blood Of patriots shed in defense OF union
and freedom, we hereby reaffirm. To the
soldiers who sacrificed so much in defense
| OF our country, there is a debt Of gratitude
due which can never be fully discharged.
The pledges made by the Republican marty,
and by our patriotic people, are binding.
| sacred obligation never 70 be Impaired, but
/ 20 the fullest extent % be fulfilled.
We therefore denOuuce a. unpatriOtic,
| heartless and infamous. the act of The OhiO
Legislature introduced by a deserter, bOuu-
| ty-lumper and convict, intended and cdlcu-
| lated TO drive from the Soldiers Orphans
/ Home the orphans and children of deceased
/ or disabled soldiers, or To rob the widows
/ and families Of s1ch patriots Of the pittaEce
/ paid TO them by the Government Of the
/ United states, and demand its uncDndi-
| tiOnal repeal.
/ The financial question having been dis
| pOsed Of by Congress, and the country al
/ present needing repOse in order that capital
/ may seek investment, and that industries
| may revive. thus increasing the demand for
| labor, the situation ought 70 be accepted
| and we oppose the further agitation Of the
