! mHUhes Inc suttIy uehN dHu ram tSu-
ded to the disc 9mfort, and the oandi-
dates and their friends had to their
work as Adam did "in the sweat of
their faces" The convention soon got
TO work. Hon. John insolvency, OF
Wooster, was introduced as permanent
chairman. He spoke briefly exhort-
ing to unity and zeal, and predicting
triumph.
The committee on resolutions pre-
sented the following platform which
WAS adopted:
The platform OF the democracy Of Ohio IN
convention assembled hereby reahrm the
principles of the party as expressed in its state
and national platforms in regard to personal
| liberty. The true functions Of the government
as embraced in the political creed expouuded
| by the great founder Of the democratic party,
Thomas Jefferson. The application of these
principles to our pr sent condition demands the
purif ,ation of the public service; the punish
snent of the robbers Of the public treasury the
equalization Of all Sublic burdens; the
arrest Of proAgacy and extravaganza
that cerrupts the administration of
public officers, and change in the policy that
has so long been pursued By the republican party,
favoriug the individual and class interest at the
expense Of the laboring and wealth producing
people Of TIE country, and we reaiirm our pre-
yious declarations for stable money. The grad
ual extinction of the public debt, and the pay
ment Of pensions to disabled soldiers, their wild
ows and orphans
We favor tariff for revenue, limited to
the necessities Of the government economically
administered, and SO adjusted in it's application
ae to prevent unequal burdens, encourage pro-
ductive industries at home, and afford just com
Ipensation to labor, but not to create or foster
monopolies.
The act of the republican congress reducing
the tariff on wool while at the same time increas-
ing it cc y,oolen goods already highly protected
was iniquitous legislation, discrimination il favor
of monopoly against the agricultural interests of
the country, and ought to be corrected. And we
heartily approve the action Of the democratic
members Of the Ohio delegation in congress in
voting against that increase.
The protection of the government j:
due to al American citizens, native and foreign
born, abroad as well as at home.
We readiun the resolutions Of the
state conventions Of Ohio in 1880, 81 and 81
and of the democratic national conventions OF
1872. 10 and so, demanding a thorough reform
and publication Of the civil service, and charge
that the republic an party has violated
very pledge it has heretofore
! given for the reform thereof, and has
failed during its administration Of the
government 10 correct even the most crying
abuses. and wo demand therefore, a change in
: the executive administration Of the government
itself as the reform first Of all necessary las made
sullmore manifest by the recent star route trials
thereby ousting corrupt rings, contederates to
3 protect crime and prevent the unishment Of
criminals and by SO doing to make it possible
again to punish fraud and theft in the public ser
9 vice.
