endorsing the President:
/ PLATFoRM.9
| Resolged, First-That the: Republican
party of Ohio, reafffrming the cardinal
doctrines of its adopted faith, as hereto
fore proclaimed, especially pledges itsell
anew toithe maintenance offree suffrage,
equal rights, the unity of the Nation and
the supremacy of the National Govern
ment in all matters placed by the Consti-
tuition under its control.
Second-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 both
branches of Congress, under the domi-
nation of a majority of men lately in arms
against the Government and now plot
ting to regain through the power of leg
islation the cause which they lost in the
field, namely the establishment of State
sovereignty by the overthrow of National
supremacy. i4
| Third-That the Democratic party ,hav-
ing committed itself to an attempt to break
up the Government by refusing to appro-
pirate to their legitimate objects the pub
| lie moneys already collected from the
people, unless the Executive shall give
his official signature to measures which
he econscientiously disapproves; measures
| plainly intended to allow recourse to fraud
violence and corruption in the National
elections and to impair the Constitutional
supremacy of the Nation, deserves the
signal condemnation of every honest and
law-abiding citizen.
FOurth--That the present extra session
of Congress, thus compelled by Demo-
cratic 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
unealledfor agitation of several questions,
by persistent efforts in hostility TO the
resumption of specie payments, already
happily accomplished, by constantly tam
pering with currency system unsur-
passed in the world: by reOpening and
| stimulating sectional controversy, especi-
ally through the avowed determination
to repeal all war legislation. and by seek
ing to inaugurate a reactionary revolu-
ton, designed to restore full power to a
/ 81 50, AI,oo -
ment.
Fifth-That the financial administra-
/ ton of the Government by the Republi-
can party in accomplishing the great
/ work of the resumption of specie pay
ments, in restoring our currency to par
value, in greatly reducing the burden of
the National debt, in refunding a large
proportion of the same att rate of inter-
est one-third less than the former rate,
thereby alone saving to the Treasury
thirteen million dollars year, and in en-
| hancing the National credit to standing
never before attained, is source of just
pride to the Republicans of Ohio and
deserves the warm appreciation of the
American people. e
i Sixth-That this perpetual disturbance
of the country in response to the cencil.
iatory measures of the Administration
should, by the Judgment of the people
be thoroughly condemned.
Seventh-That the Democratic Legis-
lature of Ohio, going on from bad to
worse, from O'Connor reforms of our
public institutions, resulting in scandals
unnumbered and mischiefs unmeasured
to outrageous attempts to revise and re.
verse the will of the people as declared
by their suffrages, foisting upon them leg
islative usurpation, defeated candidates
for local offices in place of those duly
elected by lawful and unquestionable bal
lots cast in the interest of honest and de-
cent home government, merits the mos
indignant rebuke of every intelligent
voter of the State.
Eighth-That the memories of our dead
heroes who gave their lives to save the
Nation from destruction, protest against
the expulsion of their living comrades
from public offices, to- crafty the parti
san purposes of the dominant party in
Congress.
Ninth-That we send greetings to tn,
President of the United States and ou
Republican members of Congress, and W,
cordially thank and honor them for tn,
firm and patriotic stand they have takel
in opposition to the designs of the major
> ity of the present Congress, and we here
by pledge them our earnest and undivided
f support.
The Convention then adjourned, afte
which a ratification meeting was held il
the hall. 81.
