1t endorses the principles of the party
expressed in previous state and National
platforms in regard to personal liberty;
the true functions OF government rs en-
braccd in the political creosl cXpounded
by the founder of the Dem' cratic party,
Thomas Jefferson. Tho application of
these principles to the present condition
demand the publication cf the public
service, the punishment ol. robbers Of
the public treasury, the cql elization Of
all public burdens, arrest
of pronigacy and Extravaganza
that corrupt the administration
of public affairs and total change In
the policy that has so long h"en pursued
by the Republican party, svoring in
dividual and class interest," at the eX-
pense of the laboring and wealth-pro-
ducing people of the country; we renew
ual extinction of the public debt, and
tho payment Of pensions to all disabled
soldiers, their widows and orphans.
Second-We favor tariff for revenue,
limited to tho necessity of u government
economically administered and so adj
justcd in its application as to present
equal burdens To encourage the pro.
lection of industries at home, and afford
just compensation to labor, but not
create or foster monopolies.
Third-That the just demands of the
wool growers of Ohio and tho country
for an equitable rcadjustment of duties
on wool unjustly reduced by Rcpubli-
can Congress, so that this industry shall
be fully and equally favored with other
industries, ought to be complied with
and we endorse the action Of the Demo
cratic members of Ohio on their efforts
to accomplish this result.
Fourth-The Democratic party lis and
always has been opposed To sumptugry
legislation and unequal taxation in any
form, and il in favor of the largest lib-
erty of private conduct consistent with
the public welfare and the rights oi
others, and of regulating the liquor traf.
iic and providing for reform in the shape
of iudicious and properly-graded IL
censc system.
FifthE'rhat we commend the action oi
the Democratic Legislature in its aboli
ton of the contract-labor system and it,
reform of management, and we endors,
the Legislature and Executive and theii
economical and wise administration OF
the affairs of the State.
Sixth-Thc protection of the Govern.
ment is due to all American citizens
native and foreign born, abroad and al
home.
