Republican Platform.

The Republicans of Ohio in Conven.
tion assembled adopt the following reso-
| lutions:
In the untimely death of our late be-
loved President, James A. Garfield, we
recognize great national calamity, and
We recognize that his administration,
during its brief existence. gave assu-
rance of its success. We te lder to Pres
ident Chester A. Arthur our assurance
| of confidence in his administration and
our approval of the moderate and patri-
otto course pursued by him amid the en-
barrassing circumstances unavoidably
attending such national crisis.
Resolved, That we fully endorse the
administration of Governor Charles
Foster and the State administration of
the Republican party during the last
two years, under which the expenditures
of the State were reduced over one-half
million dollars below the expenditures
of the Democratic administration of the
two preceding years, and the public debt
of the State reduced nearly million
and quarter of dollars and the remain
der of the debt redeemable on the 3Oth
of June, 1881, refunded at rate of in-i
terest below 34 per cent. per annum.
Resolved, That we condemn the terri
bic outrages and prosecutions inflicted
upon the Jews of Russia and other Sec
tions Of Europe; and, while we heartily
approve the action of the Government
in its efforts to ameliorate the condition
of these unfortunate people, we earnest
ly solicit 3 continuance of its most en-
ergetic efforts to that end.
RoS0lvQ6 that xro onInrco od3
the principle of protection to American
industry, as adopted at the last National
Republican Convention.
Resolved, That the tax paying people
of the State demand that by specific
taxation the traffic in Intoxicating liu-
uors shall be made to bear its share of
the public burden, and that the Consti-
tuition in so far as it may be an obstacle
in the way of the exercise by the people
through their representatives of prac-
tical control over the liquor traffic, to
the end that the evils resulting there
from may be effectually provided
against, should be amended at the earli-
est date allowed by law.
Resolved, That all laws upon the
statute books must be respected and en-
forced until repealed by legislation or
abrogated by legal authority.
Resolved, 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 uphold
ing the National honor and credit unim-
paired in the rapid payment of the pub
lie debt, and in the adoption Of series
of wise public measures, which have
given to the country unexampled pros
perity, the Republican party has 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 warfare upon dishonesty andfraud |
at the ballot box until pure ballot and |
fair count is firmly. ecured to every
locality and to every citizen. /

PEN PICTURES
Of the Nations Law Makers.

Washington Cor. Cleveland Herald
A Congressman is not always known
by his works. They often become ia
nous for some peculiar gesture or &C.
eentrieity Of manner. When you men
tion the great objector" every one
knows you mean Holman, of Indiana.
Whenever an attempt is made to pass
a bill by unanimous consent or suspen-
sion of the rules, every one looks over
to see what Holman is going to do, He
has been in Congress many years. and
by his Democratic associates Is termed
the Watchdog of the Treasury" He
questions every motion, calculated to
appropriate a penny. He has been in
Congress many years, and those, whs
recollect him in his early days says he
had good voice, but he has lost thst
attraction now, and while his voice is
indistinct, his customary 5seI objsct" is
always understood He has q dqueer
habit of throwing forward hfsi open
hand and describing small circles in the
air while talking Another man with
an odd gesture is -Suhset. Cox, who
while facing the Republican side, gener-
ally during the remarks has a ,hebit of
extending his right arm out as far as
possible every now. and then, as though
reaching over neighbor's fence to steal
apples. Cannon, of Illinois, is distin-
guished for habit he has of STOPPING
or squatting as means of gesticulation
and suddenly rising up as though he
had sat upon "Bogardus kicker" His
left hand he brings up over his shoulder
as if by spring action. Springer, whom
you may always see with button-hole
boquet, looks around slyly when about
to speak, as though he expected volley
OF rotten eggs. Abram S. Hewitt gen
orally starts off with his thumbs in his
pantaloon pockets, and when through
his little speech, during which his voice
sounds as though he had a hot potato in
his mouth, he whirls about and sinks
into his seat as though overcome by
nervous prostration. Robson, whose
rotund figure is not often associated
with great orator, is nevertheless an
impressive speaker. However, his Ses-
lures are generally labo, I'd and peculiar.
One of them is to extend his right hand
as high as possible above his head, never
lowering it but for moment or two.
Horr, the funny man of the House, is
another of the fat men, and closely re.
sembles his twin brother, who resides at
Wellington, o., and who has just been
nominated for Congress. Mr.. Horr has
q way of clenching his fist and, after |
after lowering it, bringing il up sudden |
ly to the height of his breast with evil
dent earnestness. He tells funny story |
of his own canvass in the lumber dis
tricts of Michigan. He had heard of
the Greenback movement, and his in
vestigation of the reports, he said, re-
minded him of the story of the Irishman
Who for the first time was camping out
as one of a party of backwoodsmen.

Children.

Little eyes with pleasure besming,
Evermere;
Little hearts with good will teeming,
Running DER;
Little faces bright and CHEEKY,
Little skies of May,
Little creatures blithe and merry;
These are they.
Come they as the spring-time hours,
Glowing, smiling,
Come they as the buds or flowers,
Thus beguiling
Time, which but for them would be
Dull, or fraught with cares;
To LOVE, and Trust implicitly,
Alone is theirs.
Where the brightest sunbeams play,
There you'll find them;
All that's dark, or dull, or grim they
Leave behind them;
Links that bind the heart and mind,
To the good and pure,
Types of man and womankind,
Only TRUER.

A ShrnWd Renlu

Sir Walter Scott says that the alleged
origin of the invention of cards produ
ced one of the shrewdest replies he ha6
ever heard given in evidence. 1t was
made by the late DIR. Gregory at Edin
burg, to counsel of great eminnence al
the Scottish bar. The doctors testimo.
ny went to prove the insanity of the
party whose mental capacity was the
point at issue. On cross Interrogation
ne admitted that the person played ad-
mirably at whist. "And do you seri
ously say, doctor" said the learned coun-
sci. shat person having a superior ca
pacity for a game so difficult, and which
requires, in pre-eminent degree, men,
ory, Judgment, and combination, can be
at the same time be deraDged in his un-
derstanding
II am no card player" said the doctor,
with great address, "but l have read in
history that cards were invented for the
amusement of an insane king" The
consequences Of this reply were decisive.
