dorse The honesty and economy
of the administration of Cover

qualific. lions, economy and re-
torm,s land especially for having
provided for a secret ballot by
, which every voter in Ohio can
cast his ballot in secret as he de-
sires, and have his vote counted
as cast; and we invite attention
to The fact that the Republican
party, though hypocrilically
protesting to favor "a free bal
] and an honest count" vet
opposed and voted against the
bill for providing for a free and
secret ballot. thus demonstrating
professions to be insincere
and for political effect only, and
we cordially indorse and approve
the act Of the Legislature regula-
ting the compensation of county
officers by providing for a fixed
salary.
We are opposed to all class
legislation, and believe in tar.
iff levied for the sole purpose of
producing a revenue sufficient to

lican party on the subject ofthe
tariff, as represented by the So
called Mckinley tariff act. con-
fident that the verdict oftheypeo-
pie of Ohio will be recorded
against the iniquitous policy of
so called protection, championed
by the Republican party in the
interest of favored classes against |
the masses.
We favor a graded income tax.
We denounce the demonetiza-
ton Of silver in 1873 by the party
then IN power, as an inlquitous
alienation of the money stand

continually to increase the val:

industry and disparage enterprise

standard of both gold and silver
with the equal right of free andI
unlimited coinage. 81 +
