order TO perpetuate SAID laws ana the
use of armed men at the polls, have
shown a spirit of faction and devotion
TO party success instead of the welfare
OF the country and the preservation OF
the United States Constitution and
liberties that demands the condemnation
OF the whole American people.
Resolved, That President Hayes by his
frequeut interposition Of the veto In
order to defeat legislation that was
plainly constitutional and that in no
way interfered with the independence
of any other department OF the govern
ment and had received the most mature
consideration of Congress, has shown
an utter disregard for the considerations
and principles that induced the inser-
ton OF the veto power in the Constltu-
ton and a like disregard OF the wishes
and welfare OF the people.
Resolved, That we declare it as the
sense Cf the Democracy of Ohio, that
not dollar should be appropriated by
Congress to pay soldiers, marshals, dep
uty marshals or supervisors OF elections
to interfere with or control elections.
Resolred, That the efforts of the Re-
publican party TO open and keep alive
the war-feeling between the North and
the South are to be condemned by evi
cry lover of his country.
Resolved, That we reaffirm the finan-
Cial principles heretofore advocated by
the Democratic party of Ohio, that the
issue of money in any form and the reg
ulation thereof belonging to the
government alone, ought not
to be delegated or entrusted
to individuals or corporations; that we,
therefore, oppose the perpetuation OF
the present National banking system as
a means of control over the currency OF
the country, and demand the gradual
substitution of treasury notes fOr Ma
tional bank currency, TO be made re-
ceivable for all dues and legal tender
equality with coin, such government
issues to be regulated on principles es-
tablished by legislation or organic law,
so as to secure the greatest possible sta
bility of value.
ReSOlred, That after changing the val
uatiOn of all property from the scale of
paper money, 10y which the heavy bur
den OF debts now resting on the people
was created, TO the former level of gold
and silver; the change then made in the
metallic standard itself by the demone-
tiZation of silver was a monstrOus fraud
on the people, cunningly devised in the
interest OF the holder OF bonds that should
be condemned as in violation of every
principle of honest dealing and covert
assault on the fundamental rights of
property; and we therefore demand the
q, ,f lVar n 10
place as a money metal, the same as gold.
RsSOired, That the rapid increase OF
the interest bearing debt OF the govern
ment, under the present adnnnlstra-
ton, ought to excite the serious appre-
hensiOn OF the people. We demand
that the further increase in the bonded
debt in time of peace be stopped and it
be put in a process of extinction.
ResOlred, That the attack made on the
State Legislature in the Republican
platform is wholly undeserved, and
that the Legislature in its arduOus work
of codifying the laws of the State and
the reduction of fees and salaries of
county officers and the passage of law
To protect the ballot and prevent bri-
berry at elections, deserves the commend
alton of the people of the State.
Res0Iced, That it is the duty of our
government to maintain TO its full eX-
tent the doctrine that 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 naturalized citizens as we
would our native born, and should re-
sist all improper claims upon them by
governments to which they no longer
owe allegience; we demand that exist
ing treaties with all foreign govern
ments be rigidly enforced, and that
early steps be taken to obtain from the
German empire fuller recognition Of
the right of eXpatriatiOn and of the
right Of our naturalized citizens return
ing or having property there, by a
modification OF the treaty existing be-
tween us.
Mr.. Frank Hurd, on behalf OF the
minority of the Committee on Resolu-
tions, submitted the following additional
resolution:
RSSOlUPd, That we request the Demo-
cratic members of Congress not TO vote
any appropriations to any army until
provision shall have been made that
such army shall not be employed to in
tluence or intimidate the people at the
polls.
This resolution was defeated by a
