COLUMBUS, June 5.-After the nomi-
nation for Governor the Committee on
Resolutions reported as follows, and the
report was unanimously adopted:
The Republicans of Ohio, in State Con-
ventiOn assembled, adopt the following
declaration Of principles:
First-That the Republican party, In
preserving the life of the nation, In CIV
ing freedom and equal rights to all its
citizens, In the reconstruction of the
Union, in uphOlding the national honor,
In the generous provisions made for
those who have suffered for their eOun-
try, In keeping the national faith and
advancing the national credit, in the
speedy payment of the public debt, in
the reduction of national taxation, in
the elevation of the civil service, in the
enactment Of series of wise public
measures which have given the country
uneXampled prosperity, have given the
best assurances of its purposes for the
future.
SecOnd-That the Republican party
believe now, as In the past, in the main
tenance OF tariff system which will
provide revenue for the government
and at the same time will protect Ameri
can producers and American labor; that
1t Is opposed to the Democratic doctrine
such doctrine IL enforced would of ne
cessity compel American wOTkmen to
accept the unremuneTative wages which
are paid their foreign rivals. 1t looks
with alarm upon the purpose already
aVOwed by the Democratic leaders that
the next Congress will revise the tariff
by further reducing the duties on i'm
potts which, IL executed, will unsettle
the business of the country and will
..Nwna HwnTU 60 UH,v,
producers and africans OF the land.
Third-That the wool tariff of 1857
should be restored at the first possible
opportunity.
FOurth--That we are In favor of the
establishment by Congress of national
| bureau of labor statistics for the purpose
Of collecting and systematizlng all sta
tistics relating to the Industrial, social
and sanitary condition Of the laboring
masses Of the nation.
Fifth-That we approve of the action
Of the General Assembly of Ohio in the
submission of constitutional amend
ment5 In relation to the liquor traffic,
thus giving an opportunity to the peO-
pie to make such changes in the organic
law of the State as may be provided by
their Judgment.
Sixth-That we approve of the taxa
tiOn of the liquor traffic for revenue and
L
/ evils resulting from such traffic.
Seventh-That we congratulate the
country upon the reduction by the last
Congress Of internal taxes Of more than
/ forty million dollars annually, while at
the same time the credit of the nation is
maintained and the steady reduction of
the national debt provided for.
Eighth-That the wise and conserva-
tive administration Of President Arthur
nkn nd hn nwkvy - AE,a
Republicans of Ohio.
Ninth-That we commend the action
of the General Assembly of the state In
providing commission to examine into
the system of prison contract labor, and
we declare ourselves in favor of the abO-
litiOn of said contract system.
Tenth-That we Teiterate the declara-
ttOns Of previous Republican cOnven-
tiOns, in favor of civil service reform,
and welcome every intelligent effort to
make that effort practical, and we es-
pecially approve the pI DIVISIONS made by
the Republicans in Congress for giving
the patriotic soldiers of the late war
with the proper qualifications, the pref
erence for all places under the govern,
ment.

of the law limiting the time in which

4
Twelfth-That the greatly improved
condition of the public institutions OF
the state; the successful refunding Oi
the public debt at q rate of interest
lower than loan has been placed by
any other state, the provision for and
payment Of 81 100000 of the public debt
the improved financial condition of the
state being such that we may reduce thu
rate Of taxation, and at the same tim(
be amply able to make large expendi
lures for the benefit of the charitable
institutions Of the state. All this &C
cOmplished In the face of what appeared
to be an absolute necessity under Dem
Ocratic administration, to increase tht
state taxation, attests the wisdom, car
and economy Of the administration O
Governor Foster, and Is an assurance Il
, the people of the state that their bes
interests are to be subserved by the con
tinuance of the Republican party IL
! power.
