PLATFORM POINTS WITH PRIDE.
The democratic party of Ohio in conven-

an, extent that even the republicans are
obliged to recognize the same.
We congratulate President Cleveland that
his efforts in favor of the repeal of these
vicious laws and the UNFOLDING Of the credit
of the country have been successful.
We congratulate our senator, Hon. Calvin

We view with alarm the large Increase OF

the last legislature, and the increase in the
