The Platform.
Following is the text OF the platform:
!. The Democracy Of Ohio, IN convention as
sembled, approve the declaration of principles
made by the national Democracy in ST. Louis
In issS, and especially that part Of it demands
ing reduction Of tariff taxes; we will continue
the battle for tariff reform until the cause OF
the people is triumphant
2. We regard trusts in whatever form or
ganized. as the legitimate result OF our pres.
ent tariff system; and we demand the repeal
of all tariff taxes that enable them 10 extort
from the people ex0rbitant prices for the pro-
ducts they control
3. We again acknowledge the great debt OF
gratitude the nation owes to the heroes OF the
late war, and we declare In favor of just, lib
eral and equitable pension laws.
Civil Service Reform Violated.
& We denounce the Republican administra-
ti0n for It's repeated violation OF its pledges In
behalf of civil service reform.
5. We denounce the present state adminis-
trati0n as the most partisan. demoralizng
and extravagant in our history. We invite
the careful investigation of all citizens into
our financial affairs as shown by the official
records.
O. We protest against the repeated enact
ment Of laws vesting the appointing power IN
the governor, enabling him 70 control the lo-
cal boards of our leading cities. While de-
priving them Of self government. itconstructs
q vast political machine that is at all times
dangerous. and in the hands OF a partisan
chief executive has become positive menace
to the people Of the state.
A Third Term Denounced.
Z. The nomination Of the governor OF Ohio
for third time, In violation OF all precedent
by the notorious and disgracefni use or
patronage at his command. is an outrage
against the people, and should be rebuked at
the polls.
8. We heartily favor home rule IN Ireland.
and we demand 1t also in Ohio. While favor
ing all laws that sacredly protect the ballot
box and the honest voter, we demand the en-
actment Of laws that will enable our cities TO
choose their own servants and control their
own affairs
