The Majority Report.
Ex.C Congressman Frank Hurd, as
chairman Of the committee on resolu-
tions, offered the following report,
adopted by a vote OF 10 to 2, Of the
committee.
The Democratic party of Ohio points
with satisfaction and pride to the wis
dom of the action of that party in the
last two years, and the results accom-
plished according to its promises. towit:
The repeal of the Republican legisla-
ton known. as the Sherman law; the
un-American federal election law, and
the Mckinley law, from which repeats
has resulted returning prosperity to the
country to such an extent that even
the Republicans are obliged to recog-
nize the same.
Congratulate Cleveland and Brice.
We congratulate President Cleve-
land that his efforts in favor of the re-
peal Of these vicious laws and the up
holding of the credit of the country
lave been successful.
We congratulate our senator, Hon.
Calvin Is. Brice, for the earnest and eff
fective support he has gwen to the
president in these matters. When we
consider the fact that the Democratic
party received from the Republicans
in 1892 a bankrupt treasury; that it in
herlted from them the vicious cur-
rency and tariff laws which had pre-
pared and finally produced the panic
of 1893, we insist that it is entitled to
the thinks of the people for the cour-
age with which it has attacked and re-
pealed these laws.

the seventh plank of the platform of
the last national Democratic conven-

silver rs the standard money Of the

enanc of the parity of the two metals
and the equal power of every dollar at
ali times in the payment of debts; and
we demand that the paper currency
shall be kept at par with and redeem

policy as especially necessary for the
protection of farmers and laboring
classes, the first and most defenseless
victims of unstable money and fuctu.
