At this point Congressman Morey, Chair
man of the Committee on Resolutions, read
the platform, which was as follows:
First-The Republicans of Ohio, in conven-
tion assembled, reaffirm the declarations of the
Republican National Convention of 1855 We
heartily indorse the wise and conservative ad-
ministration of President Harrison. We also
fully approve the wise action of the Republi-
can members of both Houses of Congress IN
fulfilling the pledges of the party in legislation
upon the coinage of silver. the revision OF the
tariff the passing of the
FEDERAL ELECTION LAW,
the disability pension bill. and other measures
of national importance. That the thanks OF
the country are due the Republican Congress
and Speaker Reed for amending the rules of
the House so that the business of the country
can be done by the peoples representatives.
We denounce tie claim of the Democratic
hat nlpD Congress- absent
in parliamentary sense for the purpose OF de-
feating a quorum to do business, ana at the
the public business, as revolutionary and
wanton disregard of the duties for which
Congressman are elected and paid by the
people.
Second-We cordially indorse the honest,
wise and patriotic administration of Governor
Foraker. We denounce the Democratic Legis-
lature for It's corruption, its extravaganza and
it's partisanship. Its appropriations for the
wear are largely in excess of the appropriations
for any year by a Republican Legislature. 1t
attempted to destroy the election system pro-
vided by the Republican party for the cities,
whereby ballot box stuffing and tally sheet
forging were impossible. 1t deprived the peo-
pie of Congressional representation by its
partial and unjust rearrangement OF the dis
tricts and it reorganIzed the charitable insti-
tutions and the State for the sole purposesof
makiug place for Democratic politicians.
Pledged to the principles of home rule. it vio-
lated its party's pledges and the rights OF local
self-government by legislative reorganization
of numerous towns and cities for solely par
tisan purposes. 1t violated
THE SACRED RIGHTS
of the majority when, under the mask of pre-
tended contest, it robbed the people of Lieu
tenant Governorship. and a citizen of an Office
to which he had been legally elected. Pre-
tending to be the party and the representative
of the poor, it elected to the United States
Senate New York speculator and railroad
magnate whose only entitlement to the office
was his liberality in contributing money to cor
Tupt politics, and whose residence in Ohio was
for office only.
The Republicans of Ohio warmly commend
the Mckinley tariff bill, as passed by the House
of Representatives, as a wise measure cal
culated 20 protect and defend American in
dustries and American labor against labor and
foreign industries. We regard foreign oppos-
tion to the proposed legislation as an unwar-
The attempt of nations of the Old World and
the Democratic party to destroy our manu-
featuring supremacy and degrade our labor is
unhOly and unpatriotic alliance, which
should be resisted by every citizen who loves
his country and has care for the well being of
his fellow citizens.
We most heartily indorse the action of the
Republican Congress in passing the disability
pension BILL and Republican President who
approved the same. and regard it as act of
justice too long delayed, because of the opposi
ton to all just pension legislation by Demo-
cratic President and Democratic Congress,
vet we do not regard it as the full recognition
of the great debt of obligation which the Gov
eminent and the people owe to those heroic
men by reason of whose sacrifices and devotion
the Union was saved and the Government re-
stored.
AS TO PENSIONS.
We do further repeat our declaration in
favor of Just and fair service pension, graded
according to length of service, for every soldier
and sailor who fought in behalf of the Union
and by reason of whose services, Sacrifices and
devotion the Government now exists.
We reaftirm, in the most earnest and en-
phatic manner, the duty of Congress to faith
National Convention of 1888 of the Republican
party that it will provide by fair and i'm
partial election law for free and honest pop
tot nsf Oa0' II the every United dis
as to secure to every citizen. rich or
poor. native or foreign born white or black,
the right to cast one free ballot and to have
that ballot duly counted. This is not only the
individual right of every citizen, but is abso-
lutely necessary to secure just and equal
representation for ali the people. No rule or
custom OF either Honse should be allowed to
stand in the way of prompt and effective legis-
lation to secure the integrity and purity of the
election of members of Congress. To use the
language of President Harrison: Every con-
stirutional power should be exercised to make
this right secure, and to punish frauds upon
the ballot"
We demand protection for the wool industry
equal to that accorded to the most favored
manufacturers of wool, so that in due time
American wool growers will supply all wool of
every kind required for consumption in the
United States.
PROTECTION FOR LABOR.
Resolved, That we favor such legislation by
Congress- and in this State as will in every
practicable manner, encourage, protect and
promote the interests of agriculture in all its
departments, and protection of labor and the
rights of laborers such as will grant to toll its
full and just reward is among the first
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the hon.
tion of Secretary of State Ryan.
That we have learned with profound sorrow
of the death of that hero and first Presidential
candidate of the Republican party, General
John c. Fremont.
