THE PLATFORM.
The Republicans Of Ohio renfIirm their de-
votion TO the great principles in behalf of
which their party has achieved the most Illus
trious trinmphs recorded In American his
/. That the Democratic Administration of
President Cleveland has failed TO keep the
pledges upon which 1t came into power, 1t
promised rctrenchment and economy, but
has been the most eXtrivagant ever known,

or the pPaSseat year largely

It.promised to uphold The dignity and honor
of the Republic and protect American clti-
zens and their rights OF person and property
both at home and ABROAD, but has proven
itself incapable of secur ng an honorable I'D
justment of the fisheries question, and has
with seeming Indifference subjected us to the
humiliation of seeing our flag insulted. our
seamen seized and the vessels OF our citizens
contscated by the authorities OF Canada,
while with rash haste and laundering It
has involved us in uniustfuble cOmpli-
cations with our friendly neighbor, the
sister Republic of Mexico, u fact which seri-
Ously calls attention to the Republican Ma
ttonal platform in its cnunciatiOn or the doc
trinv OF international arbitration for interna-
t!onal differences, and to tho Importance OF

by not only removing but attempting to
blacken the characters or thousands OF our
best citizens, many of them old soldiers, who
have been removed from official positions
upon the cowardly subterfugo OF offensive
partisanship."
2. We eaiiirm that to the Union soldiers
can not be computed, and II Is the duty OF the
Government to grant pensions and establish
homes for nll such rs are disabled or In want.
We, therefore, heartily indorse the action OF
for the establishment and maintenance OF
such home, and for the outside relief and
support OF disabled soldiers and sailors of
this State, and with equal earnestness We cor
demn the heartless and Wholesale vetoes by
President Cleveland OF tho private pension
bills recently passed by Congress.
8. We believe in the Republican doctrine of
protection and development OF American
labor. We demand In behalf OF the great
woOl-gr0wing interests Of our State the re-
storation OF the wool tariff OF 1867, and we de-
nOunce the recent attempt OF the Democratic
majority In the National House of Repre-
seutatives To pass the Morrison bill reducing
tariff duties and placing wool on the free list
