CIeveIand's Administration Denounced
. We denounce the present democratic
administration, whose vicious and vacillat-
ing course has brought US distress at home
and humiliation abroad.
1t has inaugurated a policy looking to-
ward ultimate free trade, which has de-
ranged business. crippled our industries,
distressed our homes and dealt labor
serious blow. With deplorable incompe-
tency it has failed to raise revenue enough
to rin the government, and has had to
borrow in less than two years s162,O0O.00O,
mainly to pay ordinary running expenses,
selling in secret to favorite foreign syndi-
Gates the bonds of the government at prices
far below their actual value. 1t has low
cred the flag in Hawaii in an un-American
attempt to overthrow a republic and re-
store monarchy, and with ,unpat triotic
Indifference has suffered British troops to
land in Nicaragua, in contemptuous dis
regard of the Monroe doctrine; by these
and similar acts our country. second in
tSr,f 20 has cuff Ata1
loss OF respect throughout the world.
We denounce the free wool provision of
the present tariff act as an unjust discrim-
inat;on against an important industry, and
demand such protection for sheep hus-
bandry as will secure fair prices for Ameri-
can wool. We denounce the present ad
minstration of the pension bureau for its
betrayal of the interests of the Union SOL
'diers, and we pledge anew to the veterans
Of the republic a watchful care and recog-
milton of their just claims upon a grateful
people. We indorse the able honest and
business-like administration of Gov. VIM.
Mckinley: we are unqualifiedly in favor
of biennial sessions and indorse the action
of the last general assembly in returning
to the policy of the founders of our state
cons Stitution in that regard we commend
the last general assembly for the care and
economy of its appropriations, taxing privi-
leges and franchises enjoyed at the hands
of the state and thus relieving, to that
extent, the burdens of taxation now rest
ing upon the people.
Believing the proposed Nicaragua canal
is needed for commercial extension and ma
tional defense, and that it ought to be con-
structed and operated by the government
of the United States, or under its protec-
ton. we commend this project to our rep
resentatives in Congress.
Mckinley and Foraker IndOrsed.
The election of republican legislature in
this state next November will enable Ohio
to send to the United States Senate a re-
publican colleague to that grand old states
man, John Sherman, who has so long and
sc ably sustained the honor of Ohio as her
representative in that august body. For
this honorable place in the upper house of
Congress the republicans of this state have
but one candidate and we, their represen-
tatives here assembled give voice to that
unanimous selection in naming and recon-
mendng as their choice for that position,
that grand soldier, peerless orator and pa
triotic statesman, Joseph B. Foraker.
The people of Ohio proud of the char
acter and career of their distinguished
friend and citizen. VIM. Mckinley. A pure
patriotic, unseltish life of public service has
endeared him to the republic of the nation
and justly Won him a place among the few
chosen by popular acclaim for high sta
ton and great leadership. Believing him
to possess in an eminent degree, those rare
qualities of broad wise and patriotic states
manship, which not only fit him for vic
toriouS leadership in great campaign, but
for successful administration after election
we present William Mckinley to the repub-
Leans of the nation candidate for the
nomination for President in 1896, and we
pledge him the absolute and answering
support of Ohio at the next national con-
yention.
We have heard with great sorrow of the
