Republican Buster.

COLUMBUS, Aug. 25.-The Republic
can state convention nominated the state
ticket, as follows Secretary Of state,
Robinson (renominated); supteme Judge,
Marshal D.. Williams; clerk of supreme
court. Y. H, Hester; school commissioner,
Eli }. Tappan; member of the board OF
public works. w. NJ. Hahn, of Mans
field.
The platform declares: First, that
the Democratic administration of Presi
dent Cleveland has failed to keep the
pledges upon which 1t came into power.
IL promised retrenchment and economy;
but has BEEN the most %extravagant ever
known. 1t promised to uphold the dig
nifty and honor Of the republic and protect
American citizens and their rights of per-
son aud property, both at home and
abroad, but has proven itself incapable of
securing an honorable adjustment of the
fisheries question, and has, with seeming
indifference. subjected us to the humilia-
zion Of seeing or flag insulted. our sea-
men seized and the vessels Of our citizens
confscated by the authorities Of Canada.
while with rash haste and laundering it
has involved us in uniustifable complica
tons with u friendly neighbor aud
sister republic of Mexico. 1t promised
civil service reform, but has made that
phrase odious by not only removing, but
attempting to blacken the characters of
thousands Of our best citizens, many of
them old soldiers, who have been removed
from Official positions upon the cowardly
suhterfuge of Offensive partisanship.'
We reafirm that to the Union soldiers
and sailors Of the late war we owe a debt
that cannot be computed, and it Is the
duty OF the government to grant pensions
and establish homes for all such as are
disabled or in want. and with equal ear
we condemn the heartless and
wholesale vetoes by President Cleveland
private pension bills recently passed BY
congress We believe in the Republican
of tariff, not only for revenue,
but also for the protection and develop
ment Of American labor. We demand.
ON behalf Of the great wool growing inter
ests Of our state, the restoration of the
wool tariff Of 1867, and d~enuunce the re
cent attempt Of the Democratic majority
in the national house Of representatives tn
pass the Morrison bill, reducing tariff
and placing wool on the free list
The Republican party has ever stood as
a friend to labor against all who would
either Cypress or ~enslave it, and every
measure, state or national, which will pro
tect the laborer from dangerous foreign
or improve and dignity his
home, will meet with our unqualified APP
answering in our hostility to anarch
ISM, socialism and communism, We favor
such wise LEGISLATION as may insure that
harmony which ought always to prevail
employer and employees, we rec
,gnize the right of all men by association
promote their mutual good and pro-
In every way that does not in
ID the rights of others.
We favor the creation by congress of
national department of labor. the head
of which shall be a cabinet officer, whose
duty it shall be to collect, systematize and
publish statistical information relating to
the social. sanitary, educational and com
mercial condition of the workingmen of
the nation.
We demand that all officials, state or
national, charged with the duty Of enforc-
ing laws which provide for the security of
the lives and health Of workingmen shall
be practical men.
The United States senate, ia refusing

which a scat In that body was procured
for Henry B. Payne, has disappointed the
Just and reasonable expectations Of the
of Ohio.
The eighth resolution is as follows:
Favoring, as we do, every legitimate and
constitutional means for diminishing or
graduating the evils resulting from the
traffic in intoxicating liquors, and recon-
mending such legislation as will keep
abreast with an enlightened public senti
ment on this question, we commend the
Dow law as a wise and practical measure
to that end.
Republicans Of Ohio rejoice in the
progress of the cause of home rule for
Ireland, and send cheer and greeting to
Gladstone and Parnell, with the hope
that the struggle they are making may be
crowned with success. We, at the same
time. commend the wisdom Of these ma
leaders in declaring that only a ma
tive parliament can properly protect and
foster native industries which have 30 long
lain paralyzed under the pernicious in
~t1uence OF the prevailing free trade sys
TEN and doctrines.
In common with all loyal people of the
land we mourn the loss of. that great Re-
publican-as well as a great soldier and
statesman-Ulysses s. Grant.
