the following platform as reported by
the majority OF the committee was
adopted.
The administration of Governor
Campbell was endorsed for its honesty
and economy and the last session of
the general assembly is commended
for its economy add reform, and es-
pecially in having provided for Sc
cret ballot. Continuing the report of
the ma ayOFlIy says:
We are opposed to ali class legisla-
tion and believe in tariff levied for
the sole purpose OF producing revenue
sufficient to defray the legitimate ex-
penses of the government economi-
cally administered. We accept the is
sue rendered to US by the republican
party on the subject Of the tariff, as
+aI l,,r-h ha
tariff act confident that the verdict
OF the people 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 graded income tax.
We denOunce the demonetization of
silver IN 1873 by the party then in
power as an ini4uitous alteration of the !
money standard in favor of creditors
and against debtors, taxpayers and |!
producers, and which by shutting off |
one source Of supply of primary money,
operates continually to increase the |
value Of gold, depress prices, hamper
industry and disparage enterprise; and |
we demand the reinstatement of the |
constitutional standard of both gold !
and silver, with equal right each to
free and unlimited coinage.
We denounce the republican billion
dollar congress, which, by extravagant
expenditure, exhausted the surplus in
the national treasury left there by the
democratic administration, and created
i deficit; which substituted despotic
rule for free discussion in the house of
representatives and we congratulate
the people on the defeat of the odious
force bill demanded by the republican
president and championed by the re-
publican party for the purpose OF per-
petuating its rule by the perversion OF
the constitutional powers of govern
ment destroying free elections and
placing the ballot box in the hands of
unscrupulous partisans, in order, as
declared by Speaker Reed, Ito regis
ter voters. supervise elections and
count the ballots and declare the re-
suit
We oppose the enactment of all laws
which unnecessarily interfere with the
habits and customs of any of our peo-
pie which are not offensive to the
