OHIO DEMOCRATS ENDORSE CLEVELAND
AND THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM

CONVENTION HALL, CINcINNArI, o., Aug.
lO.-The following platform has been adopted
unanimously by the Democratic State con-
vention:
I'VE have hereby adopted the Platform of
the democratic party male by It's national
convention at Chicag,, and especially those
portions OF 1t referring Il the tariff aud to
currency legislation. We congratulate the
country upon the carly prospect of measure,
OF rel CT rs outlined by the presidents late
message to congress, aud we have confidence
that democratic congress will devise laws
to furnish such relief. The financial situa-
tion is the unfortunate outcome of republican
administration. II is the natural result of
the Mckinley tariff and Sherman silv er laws,
the cxtravagance of the republican party
recently in power and the creation and fos-
tering of trusts and corporations by that
party, all combining to shake credit, to Gre
ute disirust in the money of the country and
to paralyze its business. We recommend
that the national banks may be permitted to
issue their currency to an amount equal to
the psr value Of the United States bonds
which they may deposit ws.h the treasurer
OF the United States, to the end that the
volume Of currency may be Immediately in
creased.
"The interest of every true soldier and
freeman demands that the pension rolls
saouli be made and preserved as a roll of
honor. We believe in a just aud liberal
recognition Of the claims of the veterans and
favor granting them ali that patriotism
could ak, all that the nations gratitude
would demand; but the granting Of pensions
on fraudulent claims or for partisan purpo-
ses on department decisions in contravention
of the law as practiccd under the las, adminis-
tration needs to be investigated and corrected
so that the unsel6sh patriotism Of American
democratic party pledges itself that the
righ,ful claims of no Union soldier to PEN
sion shall be denied and that the allowance
Of no worthy pensioner shall be disturbed.
''We condemn the unbusiDesslike admins
tration Of State affairs under Governor Nc
Kinley, deplore the official scandals and de-
falcaIirns under it and denounce The condon-
ing Of official crimes which have brought
Humiliation upon our people. We denounce
the reckless extravaganza Of the large re-
publican majority in the general assembly,
which appropriated for current expenses
about 5000, 900 in excess of the current reve
nue. and aided almost $50, 900 900 to the
locl bonded Indebtedness of ,he State, by
law in the main unconstitutional. We de-
mand that an end be put TO such robbing of
the tax payers.
The democratic party expresses its conf
dence in the ability of the Hon. Calvin S.
Bricc, OF tho United States senate, to mnteri-
ally assist the democratic majority in the
congress of tho United States to extricate
the great commercial int erests Of this country
from the present distressed condition.
"The country has abiding faith in the
integrity, patriotism aud exalted courage of
President Cleveland. True to the people
and watchful of their interests he will en-
force honest and econom ical methods in the
conduct of public affairs and secure to every
section of the country the blessing of good
government
Close attention was paid to each para
graph rs read by The chairman Of the COM
mittee OH resolutions, the Hon. A. j. Nc
Mahou. There were no manifestations of
approval until the eulogy Of Cleveland was
reached. Then delegates and spectators
cheered again and again, shouting and yell
ing until it seemed as if they would never
stop.

nominated for governor.
Neal was nominated on the first ballot.
Col. w. "A. Taylor, Of Columbus. was nomi-
mated by acclsmation for lieutenant governor.
