Just as the convention was about to
adjourn ex-Gov. Foster appeared with
the report of the committee on resolu-
tions. 1t is as follows:
The republicans of Ohio, in state convention
assembled, congratulate the people OF the coun-
try upon the signal victory in the state and con-
gressional elections last fall, assuring glorious
national victory in 1896 and declare as follows:
First-We reaffirm our adherence to the prin-
ciples of the republican party as defined by the
national convention in 1892, chief among which
are: protective tariff which restoring Amer
lean wages and American products, shall serve
the highest interests of American labor and
American development while providing ade-
quate revenue for the uses of the government
Reciprocity, which, while seeking and gaining
the worlds markets for our surplus products,
shall not lower or destroy American wages, nor
surrender our own markets to foreign commod-
tiles which can be produced at home. Fair
elections based upon free ballot and an honest
count, the safeguard of American institutions.
the true source of public authority.
Honest money consisting OF gold and silver
and paper, every dollar good any other
dollar and all backed by the national faith and
honor. We favor bi-metnllism and demand the
use of both gold and silver as standard money.
either in accordance with q ratio to be fixed by
an international agreement II that can be OBJ
tanned, or under such restrictions and such pro-
visions to be determined by legislation as will
secure the maintenance Of the parity OF values
of the two metals, that the purchasing and
debt-paying power OF the dollar whether OF sill
yer, gold or paper shall be at all times equal.
Second-We denounce the present democratic
administration whose vicious and vacillating
course has brought us distress at home and hui
initiation abroad. 1t has inaugurated policy
looking toward ultimate free trade, which has
deranged business crippled our industries, dis
tressed our homes and dealt labor serious
| blow.
With deplorable incompetency 1t has failed to
| raise enough revenue TO run the government
and has had to borrow, in less than two years,
Sl62 000, 900 mainly to pay ordinary running ex-
penseS, selling in secret to favored foreign syn
| dcates the bonds of the government at prices
| far below their actual value 1t has lowered the
| flag in Hawaii, in an un-American attempt to
| overthrow republic and restore a monarchy,
| and with unpatriotic indifference, has suffered
| British troops to land in Nicaragua, in con-
| temptuous disregard of the Monroe doctrine
| by these and similar acts our country, second
in power and dignity to none, has suffered u loss
of respect throughout the world.
| We denounce the free wool provision OF the
present tariff act unjust discrimination
against an important industry and demand such
| protection for sheep husbandry as will secure
fair prices for American wool. We denounce
| the present administration of the pension bu-
reau for its betrayal OF the interests OF the
| Union soldiers, and we pledge anew to the vet
erans Of the republic a watchful care and rec
ognition of their just claims upoa grateful
people.
We indorse the able. honest and business-like
| administration OF Gov William Mckinley; we
are unqualihedly in favor OF biennial sessions
and indorse the action OF the last general as
| sembly in that regard.
| The election of republican legislature in
| this state next fall will enable tae republican
party to send to the United States senate a re-
| publican colleague to that grand old statesman,
| John Sherman, who has so long and so ably sus-
| tanned 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 representatives here assembled, give voice
| to that unanimous selection in naming as their
| choice for that position that grand soldier,
peerless orator and patriotic statesman, Joseph
| Benson Foraker
The people of Ohio are proud of the character
and career OF their distinguished friend and cit
izen, William Mckinley. A pure, unselfish life
of public service has endeared him to the re-
publicans of the nation and justly won him
place among the few chosen by popular acclaim
for high station and great leadership.
Believing him to possess, in eminent degree,
those rare qualities Of broad, wise and patriotic
statesmanshp which not only fit him for vic
torious leadership in great campaign, but for
successful administration after election, we pre-
sent William Mckinley TO the republicans of
the nation as n candidate for the nomination
for the presidency in 1896 and we pledge him
the absolute and unswerving support of Ohio ut
the next national convention.
We have heard with great sorrow of the sud-
den and untimely death OF Hon. Walter O.
Gresham, late secretary OF state, and we extend
to his bereayed family our sympathy and con-
dolence.
At 1888 the convention adjourned un-
til 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
