The Republicans of Ohio. in State
Convention assembled, adopt the
following resolutions:
In the untimely death of our late
President, James A. Garfield, we
recognize a great national calamity,
and we rejoice that his Administra-
ton, during its brief existence, gave
assurance of its success.
We tender to President Chester A.
Arthur our assurance of confidence
in his Administration, and our APP
prevail Of the moderate and patriotic
course pursued by him amid the
embarrassing circumstances unavoid-
ably attending such a national crisis.
Resokyed, That we fully endorse
the administration of Gov. Charles
Foster and the State administration
of the Republican party during the
last two years, under which the ex-
penditures of the State were reduced
over SI,soo,ooo below the expendi-
lures of the Democratic administra-
ton of the two preceding years, and
the public debt of the State reduced
nearly $I,25o,ooo, and the remainder
of the debt redeemable the goth of
June, 1881, refunded at a rate of in
terest below 34 per cent. per annum.
Resok0ed, That We condemn the
terrible outrages and prosecutions
inflicted upon the Jews of Russia and
other sections of Europe, and while
we heartily approve the action of the
Government in its efforts to amelio-
rate the condition of these unfortun-
ate people, we earnestly solicit a con-
tinuance of its most energetic effort
to that end.
ReSok0ed, That we endorse and
affirm the principle of protection to
American industry, as at the last Ma
tional Republican Convention.
ResoAed, That the taxpaying peo-
pie of the State demand that by spe-
cific taxation the traffic in intoxicat.
ing liquors shall be made to bears its
share Of the public burdens, and the
Constitution, in so far as it be an
obstacle in the way of the exercise by
the people through their representa-
tives of the practical control over the
liquor traffic to the end that the evils
resulting therefrom may be efectually
provided against, should be amended
at the earliest date allowed by law.
Res0l0ed, That all laws upon the
statute books must be respected and
enforced until repealed by legislation
or abrogated by legal authority.
Res0hDcd, That in preserving the
life of the nation, in giving freedom,
civil rights, and suffrage to the
slave, in the reconstruction of the
Union, in upholding the national
honor and credit unimpeached, in
the rapid payment of the public debt,
and in the adoption Of a series of
wise public measures which have
given to the country unexampled
prosperity, the Republican party has
a record which gives assurance of
what it will do for the country in
the future. Proud of this record, the
Republicans of Ohio affirm it to be
their purpose to continue their war
fare upon dishonesty and fraud at
the ballot box until a free ballot and
fair count is firmly secured to every
locality and to every citizen.
