THE PLATFORM.
The Republican party OF Ohio announcs.
tho following platform of principles: Tbs
r;oht to vote as accorded by the Constitn.
t;on of the United States, is the concern Of
the whole people, and must be secured at
all hazards to every citizen, in every part
of the Republic. The existing guarantees

ditional ones provided, if necessary, that
equal protection OF the laws and equal
endowment OF suffrage shall not fail orb

ance. neglect or fraud OF any OF the States
~ the Union. The Democratic party, which
owes it's national victory last fall to the
willfuu suppression OF the ballot, cannot be
looked to for the enforcement OF these con-
stitutional guarantees, and the hope OF the
friends of equal laws and equal suffrage is
in the Republican party, which pledges Itself
to carry the contest to a successful end.
We want such legislation as will harmonic

promote the welfare of the people: and pro.

We favor the establishment OF a National
Bureau of Industry; the enforcement OF the
eiebt-hour law and adequate appropria-
tions from the public revenues for general
education wherever the same is needed.
We denounce the
IMPORTATION OF CONTRACT LABOR,
and favor the most stringent laws to
effectively prevent it. We are opposedto
acquisition OF the public LANDS or any part
thereof by nonresident aliens. We are in
favor of a protective tariff, which will en-.
courage American development and furnish
remunerative employment to American
labor, and we are opposed to the British
policy advocated by the Democratic party
Under the guise of a tariff for revenue only.
We demand the restoration OF the wool
duty of 1867, or it's full equivalent, and We
denounce the Democratic Congress for falllng
to make good the pledges they made in their
behalf. We condemn the action OF the
present Administration in lowering the ma.
tional flag upon the public buildings at

who dishonored the one and sought to dies.

VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION
and aninsult to the loyalpeople OF the who'll
country, and we denounce the Administra-
ton OF President Cleveland for its general
discrimination so far made against Union
soldiers for men who fought against the
Union. The Republican party, which
| enacted the civil service law, will faithfully
maintain it and cheerfully aid in all needed
amendments to give it full force and it is
committed to extend the law to all grades
of the service to which it was applicable,
and ample appropriation should be made
to enforce it in the letter and spirit, and all
laws at variance with the object OF the ex.
listing reform legislation should be repealed.
Having accomplished this much the party
pledged itself to still

It looks with the deepest regard upon the
failure of the present Administration to
promote the reforms OF civil service so
auspiciously begun under a Republican AID.
ministration. The Republican party OF
Ohio demands the repeal OF the limitation
contained in the Pension Arrears Act o
1876, so that all invalid soldiers shall
share equally, and their pensions shall be
gin with the date OF their disability or dis
charge, and not with the date OF the ap
plication. We denounce the Democratic
party for the destruction OF the Scott law,
and the consequent increase OF the burden
OF taxation upon all property, and the
abandonment OF an annual revenue OF
50, 600, 900, and while recognizing the peo'
pies right to amend an organic law, we de-
mand the enactment OF such legislation as
