1t further says:
I'VE demand the restoration of the wool
duty of 1867 or its full equivalent, and We
denounce the Democratic Congress for fail
ing TO make good the pledges they made
u thi, behalf.
I'VE condemn the action of the present
administration in lowering the national
tag en- puOhc buildings at Washington as a
uoIk Of res psct to man who dishonored
lie one and sought to destroy the other,
vIo planned with cruel determination in his
being place in Canada to oyerwhelm the
northern cities with fire and to sweep to
death their inhabitants by scattering every,
where the germs Of infectious and fatal
diseases.
That the elevation to important and hon
orable offices Of the government OF unre-
pentaut rebels where political disabilities
have rot been removed Is q fragrant VIOLA
ton of the constitution and an insult to the
loyal people of the countrys and we denounce
the administration of President Cleveland
for its general discrimination in appoint
ments against Union soldiers and men who
fought against the Union.
The Republican party which enacted the
present civil service law will faithfully
maintain it and cheerfully aid in sll amend
nents to give it full force, and it is com
mitted to extend the law to sll grades OF ser
vice to which IL is applicable.
Ample appropriations should be made to
enforce it in letter and spirit, and all laws al
variance with the object of existing reform
legislation should be repealed. Having &C
complshed this much the party pledges
itself TO still further aid higher reform. II
looks with deepest regret upon the failure
of the present administration to promote the
reforms of civil service 80 aupiciously begun
under Republican administration.

a repeal Of the limitation contained in the
pension arrears act Of 1878 so that all in

PENSIONS begin with the date of ofdisabihty or
discharge and not with the date OF spph.
cation. We denounce the Democratic
party for the destruction of the Scott law,
and consequent increase Of the burdens OF
taxation upon all property and the absn'
.donment OF an annual revenue Of $4,000
600, and while recognizing the peoples right
10 amend the organic laws, We demand the
enactment of such legislation as Will give
Us the most practical measure for the resu-

tsinable under the constitution.
We denounce the Democratic legislation
fer its treachery 10 their pledge on the sub

We denounce the present Democratic
General Assembly for its extravaganza, cor
ruptiou, and wantou disregard Of the true
interess and Dsme Of our State.

There is but one Interpretation placed
upon the result Of tO-dsy's convention and
that is that the Republican party OF Ohio
has turned its back upon John Sherman
and put the political machine in the hands
of Ex-Governor Foster, who has been sdroit-
ly playing for it for some weeks at the Pri-
naries. Judge Foraker was the pohcsl
creation of Governor Foster two years ago
and it was thought that both Foster and
Foraker were swallowed up in the disaster
which followed but they have come smiling
" to the surface again and carried things
with high hand, laughing down the warn
ings raised by the cooler headed men OF the
party, who asked for a nomination that IN
sured victory, not one that was
Merely for show.
Two years ago Foraker was simply the
foil for Governor Foster, who then made the
race for Sens,or. For a time after bis
ignominous ds.eat Foraker took the same
view Of it, but the willy ex Governor succeed
ed in convincing him Of bis sincerity and
that their interests were identical, and they
wen, 70 work and between them captured
the party organization. Foster hlmseh
personally directed the convention from his
room in the hotel across the way and made

self, was a third partner in the deal and was
Fosters man if Foraker had missed the

tion to nominate Kennedy By aeeiA-
nation for the second place 50
