Taylor was elected temporary chairman

lowing are tho chiet points;
ADDRESS OF HON. ]. ID. TAYLOR,
= Referring 10 the outcome OF the last
presidential election, Mr.. Taylor began
his address by saying: "Since you last
met In convention tho most anomalous
event in history has transpired In our
country. By a combination OF crimes,
accidents and plumbers this govern
ment, with all its great interests, mas
passed out OF the control OF the party
that saved II from treason and disunity
into tho hands OF the party which,
through its leader, sought for four long
ana bloody years 10 tear IL from It's
proud place among tho nations OF ths
earth aud hurl its discovered Fragments
into the vortex of anarchy and dissolu-
ton. This crime OF crimes, con-
n %ity OF the Republican party
: unatoned for and unrepented OF by it's
chief participants rears its mead again
In the government at Waahington. The
soldiers of this Union, brave defenders
o. their country's honor, have suffered
the humiliation OF seeing the men they
fought and vanquished on the field ole
waited to tho high places OF the nation
and entrusted with the public welfare.
This stigma must be wiped out, and
here the work must begin to DO COM
plelod in 1885,"
The success of the Democratic party
~ last fall, the speaker said, wos but half
success, and that this year every nerve
OF the administration would be- strained
to win the Victories in Ohio, New York
aud Virginia, needed TO rat
lily its doubtful title to the
cisms to make ON President Cleveland,
who he believed to DO infinitely better
than the party leaders behind him. He
spoke of Jefferson Davis as the arch
traitor, and pointed to the fact that his
eulogist, the man who was the trusted
and confidential agent OF the Conied-
eracy abroad during its existence, was,
to-day, at tho head of that department
=. which controls all the pension interests
of Union soldiers, and was honored
with seat in the presidents Cabinet.
Speaking of the conflict Of labor Mr..
Taylor said: "Both labor and capital
are being driven into bankruptcy and
Iulu tuAcs IL thC
South laboring classes have been kept
In q condition of ignorance and vassa.
lage, equal to IL not worse than the pau
per labor OF Europe" As a remedy he
said: "We protect ourselves against
foreign competition by protective
tariff, bat the only way TO protect our
people against sectional competition Is
to elevate the condition of the working
man In every part of country alike"
Referring to the Coal Oil Legislature
the speaker said that when the Demo-
cratic party came in to pt wer, the pub
lie Institutions OF the State were in a
prosperous condition and there was in
the treasury surplus Of more than
$4,000. The Ohio penitentiary under
the c9.efal business management of
the Republican party had surplus OF
$4,000 over expenditures, but in eight
months after the Democratic party
came into power the penitentiary was
in debt $4,000 and 200 Of the convicts
Idle. The corruption and extrav.
agance of this Legislature had
brought the state on the verge
= bankruptcy and had increased the
bonded Indebtedness of the State over
$1,000, 900. The coming campaign would
not only determine the recuperativ0
powers Of the Republican party, but
chow whether the next United States
senator from Ohio shall be Republican
or Democratic and probably determine
viz, ,rt"e next House of Representa-
{, sI.I oe Democratic or Republican.
jr conclusion the speaker said: eve
will. carry Ohio this year, and we will
carry the country in 1855, as certainly as
the stars are in the armament above, II
Republicans do their duty. Even now
the reverberations Of victory are rolling
in from the prairies of Illinois, where
that grand old hero, John A. Logan, has
taken the long contested fort. Take that
struggle as your inspiration and you
sshieye AZ victory in October " that W
tain to sea. Ohio is and must
ever be q Republican State"
"The State that SO proudly upheld the
banner of Jas. G. Blaine in 1884, the
resting place Of Garfield, the home of
Sherman and Sheridan, and Hayes, the
ses s. Grant, who is to-day watching us
from his sick room in the metropolis of
the nation, the State that gave to this
country $4,000 brave and true soldiers
must ever be Republican State"
He was frequently applauded.
The various com mittees were APP
and the convention took recess.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At o'clock p. m. the convention
again assembled at the great wigwam.
Twas crowded to suffocation, and sew
eral thousand people were outside, I'M
able to procure even standing room.
The Hon. Amos Townsend, of Cleve-
land, was chosen permanent chairman
and addressed the convention briefly,
Permanent Secretary Emil ReheZ, OF
CINCINNATI and four assistants,
were elected; also, one vice-president
from each district.
At 4 o'clock the Hon. William McKin-
ley, oh airman of the committee on plat
form ut, cred the following resolutions.
which were unanimously adopted:
The Republican party OF OHIO an
nounces the following platfor m of prin-
ciples: The right to vote according to
the constitution of the United States is
the concern of the whole people and
must be secured at all hazards to ev-
cry citizen in every part of the Republic.
Existing guarantees must be sacredly
maintained and additional ones pro-
vided, II necessary, that the equal pro-
lection of the laws and the equal enjoy
ment OF the suffrage shall MOI fail or be
abridged In any way through the con-
nivance, neglect or fraud OF any OF the
States Of the Union. The Democratic
party, whichowesl ITS national victory last
fall to the willful suppression OF the bal
lot, cannot be looked to for the enforce
ment Of these constitutional guarantees,
and the hope OF the friends OF equal
Law and equal suffrage is in the Re.
publican party, which pledges itself to
wage the contest to q successful end.
We want such legislation as will har-
monte the relations Of labor and capt.
tel and promote the welfare Of the peo-
pie and foster the industries of the
State. We favor the establishment of q
national bureau Of industry, the en-
forcement of the eight-hO law
and adequate appropriations from the
public revenue for general edqca-
