Ampt, which were referred, and the sp-

The following is the substance OF the
resolutions offered by VIM. Ampt, which
were referred to the Committee on Reso-
tions amid great excitement:
First-Thst the Ohio Republicans are
not opposed to Investigating frauds in the
Presidential contest OF 1876, but demand
that the Investigations be impartial and
include all the States where fraud is al
legged to have been committed.
Second-Thst the title OF President
Bayes Is beyond dispute or Congressional
Interference; that the American people
are opposed to the payment OF rebel
claims.
Third-Thst we tender the PROSTATE
Republicans OF the South, many of whom,
being ex-UEion soldiers, are ostracised
as cArpet-baggers and scsllawsgs, our
earnest sympathy in their struggle tor
political liberty, and we will always
honor the name OF General Grant for his
patriotic efforts in behalf OF the Southern
Republicans.

The Platform.
The principles OF the Republican
party, as written in the history of the
country, is specifically declared in the
national platform. The party, made
sacred by the blood Of patriots shed in
the defense of the Union and freedom,
we hereby reatirm to the soldiers who
sacrificed so much in defense of our
common country that there is debt OF
gratitude due which can never be fully
discharged. The pledges made by the
party and by our patriotic
people, Is d binding and sacred obligation
never TO be forgotten, never 70 be i'm
paired, but to the fullest extent to be
We therefore denounce as un-
patriotic, hesrtless and infamous the act
of the Ohio ICg stature, introduced by
deserter bDunty jumper and convict IN
tended md calculated to drive from the
Soldiers Orphan Home the orphans and
of deceased or disabled
or 10 rob the widows
and families of such patriots OF
the piLtance paid to them by the govern
ment of the United States, and demand
lis 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 for
labor, the situation ought to be accepted,
and we oppose the further agitation Of
the question at this time as injurious TO
business and devoid of other than evil re-
suits. The disposition is exhibited
by conservative men in the South
to oppose the revolutionary methods on
the part Of the Northern Democrats, as
shown, first, in their refusal to oppose the
C c)nsummation OF the electoral count, and
more lately IN their expression of sent!-
ment in dlsapprobstion of the proposed
attack on the Presidents title, is received
as promising omen, and the Republi
cans of Ohio cordially greet such citizens
of the South as, adheTing IN good faith TO
the terns upon which the issues Of the
war were settled including the Consti.
amendments guaranteeing equal
civil and political rights, free speech,
= free press and an unLrammeled ballot
to all citizens upon these conditions
alone can sectional strife be Rl!syed and
sectional lines, which now divides IN
a great measure the South from the
North, be oblterated. a tariff for revenue
should be maintained and 80 adjusted as
TO secure incidental protection 10 home
industry. True economy requires that
The Government should make sufficient
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 ONO require an inspection
law, intelligently administered and we
condemn the action Of the Governor in
prosttuting that department, the object
Of which should be TO protect and pro
mote the comfort of the miners, 10
purpose.
The revolutionary movement Insugur-
ated under cover of investigation, but
really an stack npon the Presidents
title calculated as 4 is to Mexicanize the
affairs Of this country, to cause general
iIstrust. TO PROSTATE our industry and
agg-avste and prelong the distress OF
the lsboritg and industrial classes,
We unqusliiedly condemn. President
Hayes having been duly elected
md his title subsequently, settled under
the Constitution by the highest tribunal
and by the act OF both political parties, 1t
cannot be questioned; and We recognize
in his administration the highest integ-
ri,y and patriotism, the most sincere
effort to promote political purity and
harmony and secure general business
prosperity throughout the whole coun-
Try.
The present Legislature is a warning
to the people Of the State aud proof o.
the dangerous character Of the Demo
crstIc party. The msjoriiy Of that body
in an unusually long session, passed no
law Tor the benef. Of the people OF the
St,te. but revo.utionIzed every State in
s:itutj0u 10 make places for Democratic
psriissns. They subordiDsted the vel
fare of the insane, the blind, the mute
sn1 tie orphans 10 the Interests OF the
Democratic psrty.
The Constitution having never cor
more thsp one Congressional
districtIng OF the State during the ten
years intervening between the taking Of
the census. we condemn the recen! out
rageous snd unjust redistriCting Of the
State By the Legislature as IN violation
of usage and done ST the dictstion Of
Speaker Randall, by which, on the basis
of the vote in the last Presidential cleo
uon, when q majority OF the votes csst
was Republican, the Democrats would be
enabled 10 carry fourteen olt OF twenty
Congressman.
