Campaign Adopted by the Slim oonven-

COLUMBUS, June 9.--The following
platform was reported from the commit
tee on resolutions and indorsed with n
hurrah:
The Republicans Of Ohio, by their dele
gates in state convention assembled. de
clare As follows:
I've indorse and resfflrm the plat.
form of principles adopted by the national
Republican convention in June 1892,
ministration of Benz amin Harrison, while
President OF the United States, as
eminently patriotic, wise, pure and
just.
in the administration OF the affairs OF
this state by Gov. William MCKINLEY, Jr.
He brought to the discharge OF his duties
as governor ripe experience, great learn
ing, ability and statesmanship and an
honest and patriotic purpose and he has
always shown himself capable, faithful
and wise. We heartily indorse his ad-
ministration and assure him OF our great
esteem and confidence.
I've indorse the action of The last
general assembly in providing by law for
the protection of railroad employees by
compelling the use of automatic couplers,
for the arbitration OF labor controver.
sies, for the taxation OF franchises ana
collateral inheritances and other meas>
ures the effect of which will be to reduce
the burdens of taxation on farms and
other properties,
8, We favor biennial sessions of the
general assembly In obedience to the
original purpose OF the present conStitu-
tion.
6. We favor the policy OF full and ade..
quate protection to American labor and
Industries. The best exemplihcAtion OF
the principle of protection and reciprocity,
that has found expression In the statutes,
Ia the Mckinley act. We cordially de-
clare our adhesion to the doctrines OF
that great measure and favor such amend
ments thereto for protection as time and
experience may show to be advisable.
z. We condemn the bill passed by the
Democratic maj ority In the house of rep
resentatiyes of the last congress and the
present avowed policy of the Democratic
party to place wool on the free list, as an
unjust ard ruinous attack on all the ag-
ricultural industries OF the country. we
iusist on ouch full and adequate protec-
tion, for the wool industry as will enable
American farmers to supply the wool re.
quired for consumption in the United
States.
8. We indorse the policy Of the ma.
tional grange "that all tariff laws shall
protect the products OF the farm az well as
the products OF the factory
8. We believe in free ballot and fair
count, and we favor such legislation ae
will secure these results for every voter
10 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 importation OF laborers under
contract to compete with our citizens and
we demand the rigid enforcement OF ex..
istlng immigration laws by the national
administration.
II, We adhere to the Republican policy
of granting pensions to the wounded and
disabled soldiers and sailors of the late
war and the widows and orphans OF such
as are deceased, and we condemn the un-
friendly and unjust policy already made
manifest by the present Democratic ad-
ministration.
12. We favor honest money, composed
of gold, silver and paper, maintained at
equal value and under national and not
state regulation. The financial honor of
the country must be maintained and its
credit preserved unimpaired. The weak
and vacillating course of the present ma
tional administration in dealing with the
financial situation meets our condemna-
ton.
10. We denouuce the avowed purpose
of the Democratic party to repeal "the
prohibitory 10 per cent. tax on state bank
issues.n Its purpose is to abandon the
present currency system established by
the Republican party, the safest and best
ever provided in any nation, and to sup
ply its place with n currency issued under
the authority of each one OF our forty four
states, which can never be either safe or
OF uni form value.
