F'irst-The Republicans of Ohio in Convention
assembled rcafirm the declarations OF the Re
| publican National Convention OF 1888.
We heartily indorsc the wise and conservative
| administration of President Harrison.
| We also fully approve the wise scton OF the
| Republican members of both houses OF Con.
| sress in fulfilling the pledges Of the party in
| legislation upon the coinage OF silver, the re-
| vision of the tariff the passage OF the Federal
election law. the disability pension bill and
| other measures OF National importance
| That the thanks OF the country are due the
|
amending the rules of the House SO that the
business of the country can be done by the peo-
| ple's representa- yes.
| We denounce the claim OF the Democratic
| party that members of Congress may be absent
! in n parliamentary sense for the purpose of de-
| feating n quorum to TO business and at the
| same time be physically present to further OBJ
| struct the public business US o revolutionary
| and wanton disregard of the duties for which
| Congressman are elected and paid by the peo'
pie.
Second-we cordially indorse the honest,
| wiso and patriotic administration of Governor
| Foraker. We denounce the Demo ratio Legs-
| lature for its corruption, its extravaganza ana
| its partisanship. It's appropriations for
the year are largely In excess
| of the appropriations for any year
| by Republican Legislature. II attempted
| TO destroy the election system provided by tho
| Republican party for the cities, whereby bal
| lot-box stufflng and tally-sheet forg ng were
| impossible. 1t deprived the people of proper
| Congressional representation by its partisan
and unjust Encouragement OF the Districts:
It reorgarized the charitable institutions
OF the State for the sole purpose OF MAX
ing places for Democratic politicians; plc6ged
TO the principles OF home-rulc 1t violated
It's party's pledges ana the rights of local
selfgovernment by legislative reorganza.
tion OF numerous towns and cities for solely
partisan purposes; 1t violated the sacred rights
OF the majority, when. under the mask of
| pretended contest, IL robbed the people OF
Lieutenant Governorship and citizen OF an OF.
flee to which he had been legally elected: pre-
| ending to be the party and the representative
of the poor. 10 elected to tho United States
Senate q New York speculntor and railroad
magnate, whose only entitlement 10 the office
was his bcraity in contributing money 10 cor
rupt politics, and whose residence in Ohio was
for office only.
The Republicans OF Ohio warmly commend
the Mckinley BILL MS passed by the House OF
Rcpresen tatves as n wise measure calculated
TO protect and defend American industries and
American labor against the labor and industries
OF other nations They regard foreign oppos
tion 10 the proposed legislation as an unwar
ranted interference in our domestic affairs The
attempt OF nations of the old world and the
Democratic party to destroy our manufacturing
supremacy and degrade our labor is an nnholy
and unpatrotic alliance which should be resist
ed by every citizen who loves his country and
has n care for the well being Of his fellow-citi'
zens.
That we most heartily indorse the action OF
tho Republican Congress in passing the disabil.
ity pension bill, and OF Republican President
who approved the same and regard ii rs AN net
of justice too long Delayed, because OF the OPP
position TO NIL just pension legislation by a
Democratic President and a Democratic Con.
gress yet VIC do not regard 1t ms the full rccog.
milton Of the great debt OF obligation which the
Government, and the people, owe to those he
roic men by reason OF whose sacrifices and do
voion the Union was saved and the Govern
ment restored.
We do further repeat our declaration In favor
OF q just and fair service pension graded &c.
cording to length of service, for every soldier
and sailor who fought in behalf OF ,he Union, |
and by r'ason OF whose services, ST crihces and
f.votion the Government nov exists.
We renfirm, In the most earnest and emphat
fc manner the duty OF Congress TO faithfully
and fully carry ont the declaration OF tho Ma
tional Convention of 1883 OF the Repup.

to have that ballot duly counted. This is not
only the individual right of every citizen. but IL
