tons, through Elmer White, reported
the following platform:
Resolved, That the Democrats OF Ohio
rcailirm the platform of lSSi as follows:
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-
braced in the political creed expoundcd
by the founder of the Democratic party,
Thomas Jefferson. The application of
these principles to the present condition
demand the publication OF the public
service, the punishment of robbers OF
the public treasury, the equalization of
ali public burdens, the arrest
of proiligacy and extravaganza
that corrupt the administration
Ot public affairs and total change in
Tie policy that has so long been pursued
by the Republican party, faVoring i'll
diyidual and class interests ut the en-
pcnse of the laboring and wcalth-pro-
ducing people of the country; we renew
our declarations for staple money; grad
u;s extinction of the public debt, and
W. payment of pensions to all disabled
soldiers, their widows and orphans.
'Second--We favor tariff for revenue,
limited to the necessity of II government
economically administered and so adj
iusted in its application us to present
equal burdens to encourage the pro
lection of industries at home, and afford
lust compensation to labor, but not
create or foster monop0licS.
Third-That the just demands OF the
wool growers of Ohio and the country
for an equitable reimbursement of duties
ON wool unjustly reduced by Il Republic
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.
Fourtl-Tho Democratic party is and
always has been opposed to sumptuary
legislation and unequal taxation i'll any
form, and,is in favor of the largest lib
erty of private conduct consistent with
the public welfare and the rights OF
others, and of regulating the liquor trai-
tic and providing for reform in the shape
of judicious and properly-graded Ii
ccnSe system.
Tifth1That we commend the action of
the Democratic Legislature i'll its aboli-
ton of the contract-labor system and its
\reform of management, ana we endorse
the Legislature and Executive and their
economical and wise administration OF
he affairs of the State.
SiXth-The protection of the Govern
ent is due to all American citizens,
ative and foreign born, abroad and at
ONE.
IF the State convention of Ohio in 1880,
/lSSl, and 1882, and of the Democratic
National convention of 1872, 1876 and
1850, demanding thorough reform Of
civil service, and charge that the Re
publican party has violated every pledge
It has heretofore given for the reform
thereof and has failed during its long
administration of government to cor
rect even the most potent abuses; and
we demand, therefore, Il change of the
the executive administration of govern
ment itself, as a reform first of all neces-
sary, as made more manifest by
the Star-Route trials and other in
iouitics, thereby ousting corrupt rings,
confedCrated to protect crime and pre-
vent the punishment of criminals, and
by so doing make it possible to punish
fraud and theft in public service.
A radical free trade amendment to the
tstatform, offered by Russell Cleveland,
Vas voted down overwhelmingly.
Congressman Converse offered the fol-
lowing addition to the platform, which
was adopted with great enthusiasm and
no dissenting voice:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that Samuel j. Tilden, who
WIS once legally and fairly elected Pres
iMnt of the United States, but defrauded
of his office, should receive the unani-
nous nomination at the hands Of the
Democratic convention, which meets at
Chicago, July 8.
M. j. Ryan, of Cincinnati, offered the
following as an additional plank i'll the
platform:
Resolved, That this convention in
struct delegates at-large and requests
district delegates to Chicago, to cast the
vote of Ohio. as a unit.
