OHIO REPUBLICANS.


was called to order at 9:45 this morning.
Prayer was made by Rev. A. H. Norcross,
pastor of the Central NJ. E. church. The
committee on permanent organization re-
ported for permanent president, Hon. VIM
Mckinley, Jr., of Stark county, who was
elected with applause.
Mr.. Mckinley was escorted to the chair by
a committee, and made a brief and eloquent
speech. The names of Blaine, Sherman,
Arthur, Grant, Lincoln, Edmunds and
Garfield were voceferously applauded as
named by the speaker
THE PLATFORM.
The committee on resolutions reported as
follows:
''That the Republican party approves the
policy of protection in all economic legisla-
ton and it favors its application without
discrimination to American indu stries,
thereby securing employment at renumera-
tive wages to American laborers.
That it is in favor of collecting an adequate
revenue to defray the proper and economical
expenses of the government from duties up
ON foreign imports and proper internal taxa
ton and that we condemn the Democratic
doctrine OF tariff for revenue only as des-
tructive to business interests of the country.
That the doctrine of the Democratic party
favoring putting what is improperly called
raw MATERIAL such as ore, pig iron, wool,
ETC., on the free list is dangerous and il
carried out will be destructive of the best in
terests of the nation.
That the reduction of duties on imported
woods, made by the act of 1883 has seriously
injured the prosperity of an important agri-
cultural pursuit in which more than million
of our citizens are engaged, and unless this
legislation be amended the business of wool
growing will be paralyzed if it be not trans
ferred to foreign nations; therefore we de-
mand restoration of the wool tariff of 1867
which gave the first and only substantial pro-
lection ever offered to sheep husbandry, in
the United States.
Thai the Republican party having aided
labor, liberating it when oppressed, giving to
it homesteads in the public domain and sup
porting schools at public expense for the
children of all classes, recognized now more
fully than ever the great interests of Ameri-
can labor, its claim on the care of govern
ment and its right to an equal consideration
with capital.
That the Republican party stands by its
legislation known as the Scott law, aud con-
demns the want of sincerity of theDemocrat-
ic party in respect thereto.
That the position of the Republican party
touching the civil service, as repeatedly ex-
pressed through its conventions and exem-
plified by its legislation faithfully admins
tered, as heratily endorsed
That the Republican party is in favor OF
maintaining the equal civil rights of all citi-
zens under guarantees of law and the con-
stitution, in all parts of the United States,
and it also demands that the election fran
chises shall be repealed, to the end that
every vote shall have a free ballot which
shall be honestly counted
That we heartily approve and endorse the
administration of President Arthur, both in
his foreign and domestic policy.
The resolution referring to the Scott law
was stricken out because of objection made
to fighting national campaign on state is
sues, and the other resolutions were unani
mously adopted.
