may be, and have been SO packed and con-
tTolled; and that the highest interests of
Justice and free government REQUIRE that
these laws be changed so as to secure fair,
impartial and independent juries in the
Federal Courts
Resolved, That the Republican minority
In Congress, by refusing to vote supplies to
maintain the Government, unless the ma
lonty would agree to the use of troops at
the polls, and also to the maintainance of
the unconstitutional corrupting, violent and
UNJUST election laws aforesaid, and the
President of the United States by his un-
precedented use of the veto power, in order
to perpetuate said laws, and the use of
armed men at the polls have shown a spirit
OF faction and a devotion to. party success
instead OF the welfare of the country and
the preservation of its constitution and
liberties, that demand the condemnation of
the whole American people.
Resolved, That President HAYES, by his
frequent interposition of the veto, in order
TO defeat legislation that was plainly con-
stitutonal, that in no way interfered with
the independence of any other department
OF the Government, and had received the
most mature consideration of Congress, has
&. shown an utter disregard of the conzidera-
toms and. principles that induced the IN
sertion Of the veto power in the constitution,
and hike disregard of the wishes and well
fare of the people. 4si 'sfE res
Resolved, That we declare it as the sense
OF the Democracy of OHIO, that not dollar
should be appropriated by Congress to pay
soldiers, marshals, deputy marshals, or
supervisors OF election, to interfere with or
control elections.

6can party to open and keep alive the war
feeling between the North and South are
to be condemned by every lover of his
country.
Resolved, That we reafirm the financial
principles heretofore advocated by the Dem.
ocatic party of Ohio; that the issue of
money IN any form, and the regulation
thereof, belong to the general government
alone. AID ought not to be delegated or en-
trusted to mdividuals or corporations; that
we therefore oppose the perpetuation of the
present National banking system as
means OF control over the currency of the
country, and demand the gradual substitu-
ton of Treasury notes-for National bank
currency to be made receivable for all dues,
and legal tender equally with coin-such
government issues to be regulated upon
principles established by legislation or or
game law, so as to secure the greatest pos
sible stability of value.
Resolved, That after changing the
valuation of all property from the scale OF
paper money by which the heavy burden
Of debts now resting upon the people, were
created to the former level Of gold and
1lyer-the change then made in the
metallic standard itself, BY. the demonetiz-
atom OF nlyer-was a nionstrous fraud up
on the people, cunningly devised IN the in
terest Of the holders of bonds, that should
be condemned as in violation of every prir-
Gpie of honest dealings, and covert as
sault upon the fundamental rights of prop
erty, and we therefore demand the full
restorataon-of silver to its original place as
a money metal, the same as gold. 80 10
Resolved, That the rapid increase of the
interest bearing debt of the goveoment,
under the present administration, ought to
excite the serious apprehension of the peo-
pie. We demand that the further increase
IN the bonded debt, In time of peace, be
stopped and it be put in process of ex-
tiQcton. ..f5.-
Resolved. That the attack made upon
the State Legislature In the Republican
platform is wholly undeserved. and that the
Legislature m the arduous work of codify-
ing the laws Of the State and In the reduc-.
ton of fees and salaries Of county officers
and the passage Of law to protect the bal
lot and prevent bribery at elections, deserve
the commendation of the peopleof the State.
Resolved, That it Is the duty of our Gov
eminent to maintain to its fullest extent the
doctrine that a man may. in good faith,
change his habitation and become a citizen
OF any other country. We should protect,
in every part of the world, all our natural-
lied citizens as we would our native born;
and should resist all improper claims upon
them by Governments to which they no
longer owe allegiance. We demand that
exlsfing treaties with all foreign Govern
ments be ngidly enforced, and that early
stefs be taken to obtain from the German
Empire, fuller recognition of the right of
expatnation and of tie right of our natur-
ah.ed citizens returning, or having property
thefe, by modification of the treaty exist
ing between us.
The resolutions were read IN clear dis
tinet tone and were listened to with the ut
most attention showing that they were .
matter of unusually serious consideration to
the Convention. At frequent intervals the
resolutions were greeted with great
warmth Of applause, and were finally
adopted. .i . g.l Z
