THE PLATFORM;
| ResolUed, That the Republican party OF Ohio
| reaffirming the cardinal doctrines OF its
adopted faith as heretofore proclaimed, es-
pecialy pledges itself anew to the mainte-
| nance of free suffrage, and equal rights, the
unity of the Nation, and the supremacy OF the
National Government in all matters placed by
the Constitution under its control
ReSOlyed, That we earnestly appeal to the
people in the exercise of their power through
| the ballot box to arrest the mad career OF the
| party now controlling bOtn branches Of Con-
| gress under the domination of a majority OF
| men lately In arms against the Government
| and now plotting 10 regain L0fOuR0 L0e power
of legislation the cause which they lost in the
field, namely the establishment of State sover-
eighty by the overthrow OF National suprem-
acy.
ResolUed, That the Democratic party, hav-
ing committed itself to an attempt to break
up the Government by refusing to appropriate
to their legitimate objects the public moneys
already collected from the people unless the
Executive shall give his official signature to
measures which he conscientiously disap-
intended allow
free course to fraud, violence and corruption
in the National elections and to impair the
constitutional supremacy OF the Nation-de-
serves the condemnation OF every honest and
law abiding citizen.
Resolved That the present extra session
of Congress, thus compelled by Democratic
conspirators has been prolonged beyond all
possible excuse, not only TO the depletion OF
the treasury but also to the grave detriment
of every industrial and commercial interest
OF the country, by uncalled-for agitation OF
the several questions, by persistent efforts in
hostility to the resumption OF specie pay
ments already happily accomplished, by con-
stanty tampering with a currency system
unsurpassed in the world, by reopening and
. stimulating sectional controversy especially
= through the avowed determination to repeal
, all war legislation, and by seeking TO inaug u
rate reactionary revolution designed TO re
store full power to a solid South in the Affairs
, | of the Government.
, ResolUed That the financial administration
OF the Government by the Republican party,
in accomplishing the great work OF the re-
sumption of specie payments, in restoring our
currency to par value, in greatly reducing the
burden OF the National debt, in refunding a
large proportion OF the same at rate OF interest
one third less than the former rate, thereby
alone saving to the Treasury $13,0 1000 a
, year and in enhancing the National credit to
! a standing never before attained, is source
. of Just pride to the Republicans of Ohio, and
= deserves the warm appreciation OF the Amer
, lean people,
Resolyed, That this perpetual disturbance
| of the country in response to the conciiiatory
2 course of the Administration should by the
6 Judgment of the people be thoroughly con-
Q demned.
4 Resoiyed, That the Democratic Legislature
5 of Ohio, going on from bad to worse from
4 U'Connor reforms of our public institutions
! resulting in scandals unnumbered and mis-
chiefs unmeasured, to outrageous attempts 70
reverse the will of the people as declared 10y
q their suffrages, and fOisting upon them legls-
: latiye usurpation, defeated candidates Tor 10
! cal offices In place of those duly elected by
t the lawful and unquestioned ballots cast In
Z the interest CT honest and decent home gov
8 ernment, merits the most indignant rebuke O
"a every intelligent voter OF the state.
70 Rssolged, That the memories OF our deaG
l. heroes who gave their lives to save the NatioI
from destruction protest against o the h,io ,eiXPGi pm
/ ces to crafty the partisan purposes OF th'
= , dominant party in Congress.
q ResolUed, That we send greeting 10 Ihe Ires
a ident of the United States and our Republican
d members of Congress, and we cordially thani
It and honor them for the firm and patriots
stand they have taken in opposition to tn
/ designs of the majority Of the present Con
!, gress, and we hereby pledge them our earnes
y and undivided support.
