The republicans OF ONO, by their delegates

lows:
I. We indorse and reafirn the platform Of
principles adopted by the national republican
convention in June, 1872
. We indorse and commend the sdministra-
ton of Benjamin Harrison while president OF
the United States - eminently patriotic, wise,
pure and just
g. The people OF Ohio have just pride In the
ministration Of the Affairs Of this state By
Gov. William Mckinley, Jr. He brought to the
discharge Of his duties as governor ripe expert
ence, great learning, ability, craftsmanship,
and an honest and patriotic purpose and he has
always shown himself capable, faithful and
wise We heartily indofse his administratio6
and assure him Of our great esteem and conf
dence.
l. I'VE indorse the action OF the last geneTs.
assembly in providing By law for the protectica
OF railway employees by compelling the use OF
automatic couplers, for the arbitration OF labor
controversies for the taxation OF franchises
and collateral inheritances, and other measures
the eject Of which will be to reduce the bur
dens OF taxation on farms and other property.
s. We favor biennial sessions OF the general
assembly in obedience to the original purpose
Of the present constitution
g. We favor the policy Of full and adequate
protection to American labor and industries.
The best exemplifcation OF the principle OF
protection and reciprocity that has found ex-
preston in the statutes is the Mckinley act
We cordially declare our adhesion 10 the doc
trines Of that great measure. and favor such
amendments thereto for protection as time and
experience may show 10 be advisable.
Z. We condemn the bill passed by the demo
cratic majority in the house of representatives
OF the last congress and the present avowed
policy Of the democratic party 10 place wool on
the free list as an unjust attack on all the ag-
rcultural industries Of the country. We in
sist on such full and adequate protection for
the wool industry as will enable American
farmers to supply the wool required for con-
| sumption in the United States
6 We indorse the policy of the United States
national grange. that all tariff laws shall pro-
tect the product OF the farm as well as the
product Of the factory.
9 We believe in free ballot and a fair
count, and we favor such legislation will Sc
cure that result for every voter in the United
States.
10 We demand the enactment OF laws that
will protect our people against the influx OF
the vicious and criminal classes and the i'm
portation Of lsborers under contract to COM
pete with our citizens, and We demand the
rigid enforcement OF existing immigration laws
by the national administration.
H. We adhere to the republican policy Of
granting pensions to the wounded and dis
abled union soldiers and sailors of the late war
and the widows and orphans OF such as are de-
ceased, ana We condemn the unfriendly and IN.
just policy already made manifest by the
present democratic administration
u We favor honest money, composed Of gold
and silver and paper, maintained at. equal
value. and under national, not state. regulation
The financial honor Of the country must be
maintained and its.credit preserved unlmpaired.
The weak and vacilla.ing course Of the present
national administration in dealing with the
financial situation meets our condemnation.
l3 We denounce the avowed purpose Of the
democratic party to repeal the prohibitory 10
per cent tax on state bank issues Its purpose
is to abandon the present currency system es-
tablished by the republican party, the safest
and best ever provided in any nation, and to
supply its place with a currency issued under
the authority OF each one OF our forty -four
states. which can never be either safe or of uni.
form value.
