hrATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
COLUMBUS, Nov. l.
To tho Voters of Ohio:
| The Republican party, proud OF Its
past achievements and firm i'll the advo-
cscy of the prime pies for which it now
| contends, appeals to your dispassionate
Judgment in deciding the great qucs-
tons involved in this campaign. Since
the War OF tho Rebellion no State cleo
tion has been of more direct consequence
TO The American people or fraught with
greater iu)l or,G""e to the bu.iEess in
terests and welfare of the country.
Tho principles of the Republican
party are sot iorthin its platform made
at Minneapolis in 1892, and the latest
declaration of Ohio Republicans in their
platform adopted by the convention at
Columbus this year, which placed in
nomination Governor Mckinley and
the excellent state ticket that challenges
the hearty support of every citizen.
The Republican party is making fight
for the industries of the country, for
the restoration of business confidence.
for the wages of American working
men, for markets for American pro-
ducts and for the fair and just recoyni-
tion OF the loyal and patriotic men who
saved tho nation in the nour of its
peril.
Tho great questions arc: Shall our
work be done abroad while our coun-
trymen remain idle: Shall our Amer
lean industries be destroyed by ruinous
foreign competition: Shall our money
go abroad to purchase toreign-made
goods. or circulate among our people
in the purchase Of our own goods
Shall the wages of American working
men be maintained OF be forced down
to the level of their European compot-
itors? Shall the American farmer mar
ket his products ut home or abroad.
In short, shall we, by our votes, en-
courage change from that policy of
American protection that brought to
this country more than 20 years of un-
paralleled prosperity. TO one which,
whenever tried, has entailed upon this
people widespread financial ruin and
business disaster? Shall we have honest
money, and safe banking system?
Or shall State banks and wildcat and
red-dog money destroy our credit and
ruin our commerce!
Shall we endorse by our votes the at
tempt now being made in the Congress
of the United States TO remove every
safeguard from the ballot, or insist that
in every part of this country the vote
of every citizen shall be fearlessly cast
and honestly counted. and that the bal
lot-box must be sacredly guarded and
the franchise of the citizen duly pro-
tected:
Shall We commend the fair, just,
| generous and reasonable treatment &C.
corded the soldiers of the Republican
party during and since the war, or
that other policy of revenge now being
pursued by the present Democratic ad-
| ministration!
Shall the promises made 70 the men
who saved the Nation in the hour of its
peril be repudiated, or shall we demand
that those pledges then made shall be
redeemed, and thus insure the same
patriotic defense of our country in the
future should danger again threaten
the perpetuity OF our institutions:
The Republican party is conducting
a campaign in Ohio for these princi-
Piles: A protective tariff; honest money;
fair elections; for the just and gener-
GUS treatment of those of our fellow
citizens who were disabled in the service
of their country, and to maintain
Republican legislation. State and
National. It invites all who think
alike upon these questions, ire
spective of their previous party as
sociations, to act together and with us.
The election of Governor Mckinley and
the entire Republican ticket by a large
majority may stay the hand of de-
Structioa HOW raised to strike us down,
assist in restoring business confidence
and carry cheer to the homes of thou
sands of idle people. We therefore ap.
peal to all patriotic citizens to make
the result at tho polls on next Tuesday,
November Z, 80 emphatic as to leave nc
doubt where Ohio stands on these great
issues. CHARLES DICK, Chairman.
JOHN II. MALLoY, Secretary.
