The republican party of Ohio AN
nounces the following platform OF
principles.
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 every citizen in every part
of the republic. Existing guarantees
must be strictly maint aimed and adj
ditional ones provided, if necessary
that equal protection of the suffrage
shall not fail or be abridged in any
way through the conniyanCe neglect
or fraud OF any OF the States of the
union. The democratic party which
owes its national victory last fall Ia
the wilful suppression of the ballot
cannot be looked to for the enforce
ment of these constitutional guaran
tees and the hope of the friends OF
equal laws and equal suffrage is il
| the republican party which pledge
itself to wage the contest to Il sue
| cessful end.
We want such legislation as vii
harmonic the relation of labor and
| capital promote the welfare al The
people and protect and foster the i'll
| dustrics of the state.
We favor the establishment of (
national bureau of industry, the in
forcemcnt of the eight hour law, anC
and adequate appropriations from
the public revenues for general cdu
cation wherever the same Is needed.
| We dcuounce the importation o
| contract laborers and favor the mos
stringent laws to prevent it.
| We are opposed to the acquisition
of the public lands or any part thcrco
To nonresident aliens.
We are in favor of prOtcciiv
| tariff which will encourage America
development and furnish remuncra
tive employment to American Labor
and we are opposed to the BIRTHS
policy advocated by the democratic
party under the guise of tariff fo
revenue only.
We demand restoration of the woo
duty OF 1867, or its full equiyalcn
and we dcnouuce the democratic col
gress for falling to make good tn
pledges they made in this behalf.
We condemn the action of the pres
ent administration in lowering tn
national flag upon the public hui
dings at Washington az n mark
respect to the man who dishonore
the one and sought to destroy tn
other; who planned with cruel dotei
mination in his hiding place /
Canada to overwhelm the northor
cities with fire and to sweep TO deaf
their inhabitants by scattering every
! where the germs of infectious M
fatal disease.
We assert that the elevation to in
portant and honorable offices of I'll
Government, of unrepentent rebel
whose political disabilities have M
been removed is fragrant yiola,io
of the constitution and an insult
the loyal people of the whole countr
and we denounce the administratio
of President Cleveland for its gener
discrimination in the appointments
far made against Union Soldiers al
in favor of men who fought again
the union.
The republican party, which ena'
D ed the present civil service law, "
faithfully maintain 1t and cheerful
aid in all needed amendments to q
il full force and II is committed
extend the law to all grades of 81
vice TO which 1t is applicable and a
pie appropriations should be made
enforce il in letter and in spirit, II
all laws at variance with the obl5
of existing reform legislation shot
be repealed.
Having accomplished this much
party pledges itselfto still further a
4 higher reform. II looks with deep
regret upon the failure of the pres
administration topromote the refor
j of the civil service so auspiciou
begun nuder republican administ
ton.
The republican party of Ohio
mands the the repeal of the linitat
contained In the pension ARE
act of 1873, that all inys
oldieTs shall share equally and u
