The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1895-09-25
COUNTY TICKET.


The Democratic party of Ohio in con
Sention assembled points with satisfaction
and pride to the wisdom of the action OF
that party In the last two years, and the
results accomplished according to its
promises, towit
known as the Sherman law, the un-Amer.
ican Federal election law and the Nc
kinley law, from which repeals has re.
suited returning prosperity to the coun-
try 10 such an extent that even the Re
publicans are pledged TO recognize the
same,
We congratulate President Cleveland
that his efforts in favor of the repeal of
this vicious law aud the uph holding of the
credit OF the country have been successful.
We congratulate our senator, Hon. Cal
win ). Brice, for The earnest and effective
support he has given To the president in
these matters. When we consider the
facts that the Democratic party received
from the Republicans in 1862 bankrupt
treasury that IL inherited from the vicious
currency and tariff laws which had pre-
pared and finally produced the panic OF
1893, we INSIST that it is entitled TO the
thanks of the people for the courage with
which II has attacked and repealed these
laws.
We reaflirm the following portion of the
seventh plank Of the last national Demo-
cratic conventions:
We hOli w Aht Vi DODil GOlu anu Sic
yer as the standard money of the country,
and to coin both gold aud silver without
discrimination against each metal or
charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of
coinage OF both metals must be of equal
intrinsic aud eNchangeable value or be
adjusted by international agreement, or
by such safe legislation as shall insure
the maintenance of the parity of the two
metals and the equal power of every dol
lar at all times in the payment of debts,
aud we demand that the paper currency
shall be kept at par with and redeemable
In such coin.
We insist on this policy as especially
necessary for the protection OF farmers
and laboring classes, the first and most
defenSeless victims OF unstable money
and huctuating currency.
We call the attention OF the people TO
the methods aud practice of "bossism" by
which the Republican party in this state
has been managed in the last few years,
and for examples point to its history in
Hamilton county and to the final culmin-
alton OF the same in the GAINESVILLE con-
Sention, and we ask the people by their
votes this fall to put their condemnation
on such practices.
We denounce the last legislature as cor
Fupt and unworthy OF the confidence of
the people, and we submit TO the voters
whether they wish to perpetuato this con-
dition OF affairs by placing the Republi-
cans again In power.
We view with alarm the large increase
In Indebtedness throughout the state by
countes and municipalities rs authorized
by the last legislature and the increase in
the last few years in the tax rate and we
demand economy in expenditure and con-
pervatisIp in the incrense Of debt.
The platform was signed by 10 out Of
the 2l members OF the committee, the
being A. w. Patrick of
