And Sins Of Head and Heart.
COLUMBUS, June 6.-The republican state
convention was called to order at 10 a. m
with such crush o! people in the opers
house that delegates secured seats witt
great difficulty. The committe on creden
tials reported all delegates full and no con
test. When the hume of Senator Sherman
was announced as permanent chairman
the convention burst into wild enthusiasm
and long continued applauses. He re
turned thanks for the renewed honor from
the republicans of Ohio, and said such con.
ventions as these have given inspiration to
the party since 1855. A world of history is
compressed in the past twenty-eight
years, at the beginning of which
the Union was almost as rope OF sand and
doctrines were proclaimed which would
have disbanded the government, but every
step of progress has been the work OF the
Republican party and is now part of its
work. The speaker reviewed the progress
of the party and said it never stood behind
or pos poned conventions, but knew what
they. wanted and did it. An element of
party success was when they proposed any
thing grand it was opposed by the Demo-
cratic party. The Republican party, he
said. believed in the protection of American
labor and in the taxation OF the liquor
traffic.
The convention then proceeded to
the nomination of state ticket.
Ben Butterworth presenting J. b. Foraker,
of Cincinnati; j. NJ. Dalsell offered the
name of Sherman and the convention again
became wild and could only be Quoted by
Sherman rapping to order vigorously, when
he said he had not been insensible to the
preference of large number of delegates,
but he would say frankly that he could not
be candidate and could not surrender his
duties in the senate in justice to the people
of Ohio and the country. Aside from this,
he couldn't accept the nomination without
feelings of personal dishonor.
Judge Foraker was then nominated by
reclamation.
Foraker appeared later and made quite q
lengthy speech of thanks, pledging his best
efforts to the cause and outlining the I'M
portance of the campaign.
After the nomination for governor the
committee on resolutions reported as fol.
lows, which were unanimously adopted:
First-That the republican party in pre-
serving the. life OF the nation; IN giving
freedom and equal rights to all of its citi-
zens; in the reconstruction of the union; in
unfolding the national honor; in the gen
erous provision made for those who have
suffered for their country; 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 civil service; in the
enactment of series OF wise public
measures, which have given the cointry
unexampled prosperity, have given the
best assurance of its purposes Tor the future.
Second. That the republican. party be-
lieyes now, as in the past, In the mainte-
nance of tariff system, which will provide
a revenue for the government and at the
same time protect American producers and
labor; that 1t is opposed to the democratic
doctrine of tariff for revenue only, be-
cause such doctrine, If enforced, would OF
accept the unremunerative wages which are
paid their foreign rivals. 1t looks with
alarm on the purpose avowed by the DEM
ocratic leaders, that the next Congress re-
wise the tariff by further reducing duties on
imports, which, if executed, will unsettle
the business of the country and will pro-
duce great injury to the mechanics, pro.
ducers and artisans OF the land.
Third-That the wool tariff Of 1867 should
be restored at the first possible opportun-
ity.
Fourth-We are aware of the establish
ment by congress of a national bureau of
labor statistics for the purpose OF collecting
and systematzing all statistics relating TO
the industrial, social and sanitary condi-
ton of the laboring masses OF the nation.
Fiith-That we approve OF the action OF
the general assembly OF Ohio on the sub
mission of constitutional amendments in
relation to the liquor traffic, thus giving an
opportunity to the people to make such
changes in the organic law of the state as
NAV be approved by their judgment.
Sixth-We approve OF taxation OF the
liquor traffic for revenue and for the ,pur-
pose Of providing against the evils resulting
from such traffic.
Seyenth-That we congratulate the coun..
try on the reduction by the last CO.. congress Of
internal taxes OF more than $40 0OO, 900, and
at the same time the credit OF the nation
has been maintained and the steady red lc-
ton of the national debt provided for.
Eighth-That the wise and conservative
administration OF President Arthur meets
with the hearty approval OF the republicans
Ninth-That we commend the action Of
the general assembly OF the state in pro-
yiding a Commission TO examine into the
system of prison contracts. and declare our
selves In favor Of the abolition Of said con.
tract system.
the previous republican conventions in
favor of civil service reform, and welcome
every intelligent effort to make that meas
ure practical. We especially approve the
provisions made by the republican congress
for giving the patriotic soldiers OF the late
war, with proper qualifications, p eference
for all places under the government.
Eleyenth-That we favor the repeal OF the
.ay limiting the time IN which appeals Tor
lensio ms under the pension act must be
made.
Tyelfth-That gradual improvement OF
public institutions OF the state, the success
f1l refunding Of the public debt at a rate Of
interest lower than q loan has been placed
by any other state, provision for the pay
ment Of $3.50, 600 Of the public debt, the
improved financial condition OF the state
being such that we may reduce the rate OF
taxation and at the same time be amply
able 10 make large expenditures for the
benefit OF charitable institutions Of the
stste-all this having been accomplished IN
the face Of what appeared 10 be an absolute
necessity under democratic administration
10 increase the state tax-sttests the Wis
dom. care ard economy Of the admtnistrs-
tion of Governor Foster, and IL an assurance
10 the people Of the state that their best In
ferests are 10 be subserved BY continuance
Of the republican party in power.
