flrst-We congratulate the country
upon the election and inauguration OF the
Democratic candidates for President and
Nice-President of the United States. These
fortunate events and the wise administra-
ton that has followed have already dis
PEELED the illusion that Democratic success
IS inconsistent with the business interests
OF the country or perilous to the rights of
freedom. The revival of prosperity and
the increase i'll the value of property
already begun, has demonstrated the be-
nelicence of Democratic principles, even
before any sessions of Congress have ena-
bled the country to realize the full fruition
of their application by legislation.
Second-We congratulate President
Cleveland and his Cabinet on the auspic- !
lous beginning they have made in the |
necessary reforms of Government and |

the fraud and hypocrisy of Republicans in
defeating this wise measure of reform. -
The platform also declares as follows
The Democratic party is, rs it ALWAYS has
been, opposed to srmptuary legislation and
unequal taxation in any form. and is in |
favor of the largest liberty of private con- |
duct consistent with public welfare and the
rights of Others and of regulating the liq- |
uor traffic and OF providing against the
evils resulting thereirom, by a iudicious |
and properly graded license system. Under
the present Constitution of Ohio. such = |
system is forbidden, and taxation is limited |
to property, and required to be measured |
by Its money value. We. therefore, are in |
favor oil constitutional amendment which |
shall permit such system, and we promise |
Its submission for sadoptiun by the people. |
The Democratic party favors arbitration /.
as the best means OF settling differences he |
tween labor and employers.
We favor the establishment of an inter |
mediate penitentiary for the reform of |
prisoners not belonging to criminal classes |
and the adoption d pending constitutional |
changing the date of annual !
State, county and Congressional elections. |
We mourn the death OF General Grant |
as citizens of his Ilntive State, without dis |
tinction of party, sorrow at his loss, and |
cherish the memory OF his modest and he |
roic character and his great deeds as among
their proudest public possessions. We |
with lbs bereaved widow and |
and we trust and hope that his |
last words urging Harmony and good will |
between the sections may be SO taken to |
heart by his countrymen that sectional |
alienation and hate may be Il thing of the |
past"
