The Hon. James W. Newman pre
sented the report OF the COMMITTEES OF
RESOLUTIONS, as follows:
THE PLATFORM.
The Committee on Resolutions be.
leave to respectfully report as follows
The Democracy Of Ohio, in convention
assembled, relying upon the intelligence
OF the people and confident of The
Justice OF lts course, submits the follow.
Ing declaration OF principles:
Resolved, First-That we demand the
reduction Of tariff taxes. We will con-.
tlnue the battle OF tariff reform until the
cause Of the people is triumphant. All
money taken by law from the people
should go into the public treasury.
Tariff taxes should be for revenue only.
Al so-called protective tariff taxes are
dishonest, wasteful and corruptinp.
Ehey plumber the masses to enrich the
few. They have crippled agriculture
created trusts, destroyed connerce. and
corrupted our law makers. Therefore
We are opposed to the Mckinley tariff
Pill, and believe in the expressed opin.
ion OF most eminent Republican, that
there is not section or line in it that
opens market for bushel more Of
wheat, or another barrel Of pork"
Second-That We favor legislation
looking to the suppression of trusts or
combinations which are calculated to en-
nance pricee, or prevent reduction by
healthy competition.
Third.That the Democratic party by
lts record has proven itself the steadfast
friend OF the laboring or producing
classes, and that they have our earnest
sympathy in their struggle against the
encroachments and expressions OF capi.
tai. We hail with satisfaction the
awakening among the farmers to the
evils Of Republican legislation under
which they are suffering, and invite
them to Join US to promote legislation
which will better their condition and be
just to all classes.
Fonrth-That We favor the free COIN
age OF silver at the present ratio with
gold. "
Fiith-That We again acknowledge the
great debt.of gratitude the nation owes
to the heroea of the late war; we declare
In favor of Just, liberal and equitable
pension laws, and We denounce The Re-.
publican party for it's duplicity to the
soldiers in not fulfilling its oft repeated
pledges made to them.
THE LODGE BILL DENOUNCED,
sixth-That we recognize as a funda.
mental principle that a flee and un.
trammeled ballot ls the best security OF
the citizen, and We favor such legislation
as will secure the greatest freedom, puri.
ty and secrecy OF the ballot.
Seventh-That the Democracy of Ohio
on behalf OF the people and of free in.
stitutlons denounces the Federal elec.
ton or force bill now pending in Con.
gress, as the most dangerous and revo.
lutionary measure ever devised to
thwart the will Of the people and sub.
vert the form Of popular government,
It is measure begotten in partisan
desperation to perpetuate the power Of
the Republican party. 1t is un. .Ameri-
can in that it doubts the capacity Of the
people for self government. It would
create a horde Of Federal office holders
100000 in number, with power to
strangle or pervert any ones expression
OF public opinion at cost OF millions oil
money at each election. It would send
out millions OF the dominant party with
power to invade the homes Of private
citizens and subject them to unenyi.
able inspection and to intimidation, /,
would surround the ballot box with
armed hirelinga and give power TO bayo.
nets instead Of ballots. The Republican
party Of Ohio having endorsed and urged
the passage Of the force bill stands forth
as the defender Of this attempted out
rage upon American rights, such g
measure ought not to be an issue be
tween parties, but it has now become an
lesue between the Republican party and
the Democratic party, we therefore ap.
peal to all friends OF home rule and per.
soma! liberty to protest by their free bal.
lots against this infamous measure and
against all other measures to abridge es.
tabllshed rights Of the citizens. Tha,
We denounce the despotic code OF rules
adopted by the present House Of Repre-.
Bentative9 and the lawless and arbitrary
proceedings Of its presiding officer a,
the direct results OF a criminal couepir
acy TO plunder the Treasury, oppress The
people and perpetrate the iraudulently
acquired power Of the Republican party
That the prudent. patriotic and economic
administration OF State affairs unde,
Governor Campbell and the Delnocrati,
Legislature merits the confidence auc
appreciation Of the people, l.
