COLUMBUS, August 25.-The Republican
State Convention nominated s. ate ticket
as follows: Secretary OF State, Robinson
renominated; Supreme Judge, Marshall ]
Williams: Clerk of the Supreme Court, U
H. Hester State commissioner, Eli T. Tap
pan; member OF the Board Of Publ
Works, William NJ. Mahan, OF Mansfield.
The platform declares: That the Demo
cratic Administration OF Cleveland hal
allied to keep the pledges upon which il
came into power. 1t promised retrench
ment and economy, but has been the most
extravagant ever known. 1t promised tt
uphold the ignity and honor OF the Re
public and protect American citizens ant
their rights OF person and property, boil
at home and abroad, but has proven Itsel
incapable of securing All honorable adjust
ment of the fisheries question and has, with
seeming Indifference, subjected us t., thu
humiliation of seeing our flag insulted, oul
seameu arrested and the vessels of our citi
zens confiscated by Canada, while with
rash haste and blunderins it has involved
rs in unjustfia ble complications with our
friendly neighbor and sister Republic oi
Mexico, a fact which seriously calls atten.
,ion to the Republican National platform
in it's enunciation OF the doctrine of Inter
national arbitration for International dif.
ierencss and to the Importance OF the re-
cent act OF the Senate OF the United
States in unanimously passing q bill
for Congress of American nations
in the interest Of peace and commerce.
1t promised civil service reform but has
made that phrase odious by not only re-
moving but attempting to blacken the
characters Of thousands OF our citizens,
many of them old soldiers who have been
removed from official positions upon
cowardly subtcrfuges OF offensive parti-
sanship." 1t reafiirms 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 pen
sions and establish homes for all such as
are disabled or in want. With equal
earnestness we condemn the heartless and
Wholesale vetoes by President Cleveland of
private pension bills recently passed by
Congress.
We believe in the Republican doctrine OF
tariff. not only for revenue but also for
protect N and the development OF Ameri-
can labor We demand in behalf of the
great wool growing interests OF our State
the res. Grafton OF the wool tariff of 1867,
and denouncc the recent attempt OF the
Democratic majority in the National
House of Repres. ntatives to pass the Nor
rjsou bill. reducing tariff duties and placing
wool on the free list.
Tie Rpublc n party has ever stood as
a friend to labor against all who would
either oppress or enslave it end every
measure, State erNational, hich will pro-
tect the labor-r from dangerous foreign
competition or improve and dignity hI>
condition at home. viii meet our unqnali-
fed approval. We ale unswrrvering III
our hostility TO anarchsm, social lism and
communism We favor such wire leg'sla-
ton as may insure that harmony which
ought always TO prevail between employer
and employe. We recognize the right +
all men by association to promote their
mutual good and protection, in every way
that does not Infringe upon the rights OF
other We favor the creation by Congress
of a National Department OF Labor, the
head of which shall be Cabinet officer,
whose duty it shall be to collect, system
tie and publish state and political
information relating to the social, sanl-
tary, educational and commercial condi.
ton OF the working men OF the nation. We
demand that all officials, State or Ma
tional, charged with the duty OF enforcing
laws which provide for the proper security
of the lives and health OF working men
shall be practical men.
The United States Senate, in refusing to
order an investigation of the means by
which seat in that body WAS procured
for Henry r. Payne has disappointed the
lust and reasonable expectations OF the
people of Ohio. The eighth resolution is
as follows:
Favoring, as we do, every legitimate and
constitutional means for diminishing or
eradicatng evils resulting from traffic in
intox eating liquors, and recommending
such legislation as well as to keep abreast
with enligh ened public sentiment on thi-
question, we commend the Dow law as
a wise and practical measure tending to
that end. The 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 noted
leaders in declaring that onlya native par
Lament can properly protect and f"ster
native industries which have SO long laid
paralyZed nnder the pernicious influences
OF the prevailing free trade system and
doctrines
In common with all loyal people OF the
land, we mourn the loss to our country Ot
that great Republican, as well as great sol
dier and statesman. Ulysses S. Grant. The
remainder OF the resolutions relate to State
affairs
