Republican Style.

@i Republican Style.
COLUMBUS, June S.-The report of the
committee on resolutions was as fol-
lows:
The Republicans of Ohio, by their dele
gatesfin state convention assembled, de-
clare as follows:
Wesindorse and reaffirm the platform
of principles adopted by the national
Republican convention in June, 1892.
We hldorse and commend the admins
tration of Benjamin Harrison while
president of the United States as
eninently patriotic, wise. pure and
just. e The people of Ohio have a just
pridein the administration of the affairs
of this state by Coy. William; Mckinley
Jr. lie brought to the discharge OF his
duties as governor ripe experience,
great learning. ability, craftsmanship,
and an honest and patriotic purpose,
and he has always shown himself ca
pable, faithful and wise. We heartily
indorse his administration, and assure
him of our great esteem and confidence.
We favor the policy of full and
adequate protection to American labor
of the principle of protection and reci-
procity that has found expression in the
statutes is the Mckinley act. We
cordially declare our adhesion to the
doctrines of that great measure. and
favor such amendments thereto for pro-
lection as time and experience may
show to be advisable.
We condemn the bill passed by
Democratic majority Ill the house of
representatives in the last congress,
and the present avoWed policy of the
Democratic party to place wool on the
free list as all unjust and rulnous attack
on all the agricultural industries of
the country. We insist Oh such full
and adequate protection for the
wool industry as will enable
American farmers to supply the wool
required for consumption in the United
States. We indOrse the policy of the
national grange that all tariff laws
shall protect the products OF the farm
as we'll as the products of the factory.
We believe in free ballot and fair
count. and we favor such legislation as
will secure these results for every voter
in the United States. We demand the
enactment of laws that will protect our
people against the influx of vicious and
criminal classes. and the importation of
laborers. under contract TO compete with
our citizens, and we demand the rigid
enforcement of existing immigration
laws by the national admins
tration. We adhere to the Repub-
lican policy of granting pensions
to the wounded and disabled Union
soldiers and sailors of the late war and
the widows and orphans of such as are
deceased, and we condemn the I'M
friendly and unjust policy already
made manifest by the present Demo-
cratic administration. We favor honest
money, composed of gold, silver and
paper, maintained at equal value and
under national and not state regula-
lation. The financial honor OF the
country must be maintained aud its
credit preserved unimpaired. The
weak and vacillating course of the
present national administration in
dealihg with the financial stu
alton meets our condemnation.
we denounce the avowed purpose OF
the Democratic party to repeal 1.-The pro-
hibltOry 10 per cent tax on state bank
issues" 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
supply its place with currency issued
under the authority of each one of our
fortyofour states, which can neither be
of safe nor uniform value.
