The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1878-09-26
OHIO REPUBLICAN PLArgUKM.

The principles Of the Republican party, as
written in the history OF the country, a.
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 rsafiirm. 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 party,
and by our patriotic people, are a binding.
sacred obligation never 70 be impaired, but
% the fullest extent 10 be fulfilled.
We therefore denounce as unpatriOtic,
heurtless and Infamous. the act Of the ohio
Legislature introduced by a deserter, DOun-
ty-Jumper and convict, intended and calcu-
lated 70 drive from the Soldiers Orphans
Home the orphans and children OF deceased
or disabled soldiers, or TO rob the widows
and families OF sich patriots OF the pittance
paid 70 them BY the Government OF the
United States, and demand It's uncOndi-
tiOnal repeal.
The financial question having been dis
pOsed OF by Congress, and the country az
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 70 busi-
ness and devoid OF other than evil results.
The disposition exhibited by conservative
men in the South TO oppose the revolution
airy method on the part OF the NOTthei n
Democrats, as shown inst In their refusal %
oppose the Communication of the electoral
count, and more lately in the expression ol
sentiments in disapprObatlOn OF the pro
posed attack upon the Presidents title is
received as "A promising omen, and the Re-
publicans Of Ohio cordially greet such citi-
zens Of the South as adhere In good faith u
the terms upon which the issues OF the wal
were settled, including the constitutional
amendments guaranteeing equal civil and
political rights, free speech, a free press, an
unsrammeled ballot 10 all CltiZens. Upon
these conditions alone can sectional strife
be allayed, AMI the sectional lines which
now dissOciate IN a great measure the South
from the North should be Obllterated.
A tariff for revenue should be maintained
and 80 al justed As 10 secure incidental pro
lection OF home industry. True economy
requires that tiie Government should make
SUFFICIENT appropriations 10 carry forward
the work on all public buildings without
delay, Ind 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 iutellgputly administered
ana we condemn the action of the Cover
nor IN prOstltuting that department, lthe
object Of which should be 70 protect life and
promote the cImfOrt Of miuErsi % "a mere
partisan purpose.
Tne revolutionary movement inaugural
ed under cover OF Investigation, but really
culated as Il is % heXlczlnlzs the AFFAIRS Of
this country, 70 cause general dlstrust, %
PROSTATE our industries and aggravats and
prcloug the distress Of the laDnrlng and In
dustrial classes, we unquestiOnably con-
demn-
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, u cannot De
questioned, and we recognize Ia his adinl n
Isl ration the highest Integrity and patriot
ism; the most sincere effort TO promote pO
liticstl purity and harmony and secure gen
erai business prosperity throughout the
whole country.
The present Legislature IS a warning %
the people % the state, and a proof OF the
dangerous character Of the Democratic par
~ The msjOrIty Of that body, IN an unu-
sually long session, passed DO law FOR the
benefit or the people Of thB state, but they

I cent outrageous and unjust redistrlctlng ol
