PRINCIPLES OF OHIO REPUBLICANS.
The platform which you have adopted meets my
approval. 1t announces with clearness ana courage
the great cardinal doctrines Of the Republican party,
while it proclams the wellconsldeIed cohVcuohS VI
Ohio Republicans touching the newer questions Whch
now confront u.s. II does not narrow, but w1dens the

National and covers all the differences in both princl
