Manly aud straightforward Resolution,
Of ohio Republicans.
The resolutions adopted by the Ohio
convention of republicans are few but
strong. Bulder utterances never were
made. "rnboundcd confidence In
President Harrison" and unqualified
commentator OF his administration Of
the domestic and foreign affairs of the

praise Is given TO Gov. McKinlcy's man.
agcment OF state affairs, and the tariff
bill which bears his name is cNtollcd
rs model Of financial legislation. The
old-timc republican demand for free
vote and full count in all the states is
renewed, and the republican belief that
"overy coined dollar should have the
intrinsic as we'll us the monetary value
of every other coined Is rcaiirmcd."
This is important as showing the recov-
cry of the farming community from it's
recent attack Of the free and unlimit-
ed fever, for u large majority of the
republican parry in Ohio il made up "
farmers. Just and liberal pensions"
are claimed MS the right Of every dis
abled or INDECENT soldier. Revision Of
the immigration laws is demanded, and
the democratic free wool bill is de-
nounced MS n wanton attack upon the
farming interests.

platform stands in marked and favora-
bic contrast to the verbose and vague
declarations Of the democracy in Iii.
