The part relating to National affairs
is as follows.
SThe Democratic party of Ohio in
convention assembled points with
satisfaction and pride to the action Of
that party in the last two years and
the results accomplished, according
to its promises to repeal Republican
legislation known as the Sherman
law, the un-American federal election
law and the Mckinley law, from
which repeats have resulted returning
prosperity to the country to such an
extent that even 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 upholding
Of the credit Of the country have been
successful. We congratulate our
Senator, Calvin S. Brice, for the a r
nest and effective support given the
President in these matters.
@When we consider the fact that
the Democratic party received from
the Re~publicansin 1892 a bankrupt
treasury, that it inherited from them
vicious currency and tariff laws which
had prepared and finally produced
the panic Of 1893, we insist that it is
time it received the thanks OF the
people for the courage with which it
attacked and repealed these laws.
We reafirm the following portion OF
the seventh plank Of the platform OF
the last National Democratic Conven-
ton:
4'We hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money OF
the country and to the coinage OF both
gold and silver without discrimination
against either metal or charge for

be adjusted by international agree
ment, or by such safeguards OF legie.
lation as shall insure a maintenance
OF the parity Of the two metals and
equal power to every dollar at all
times in the payment OF debts. We
demand that paper currency shall be
kept at par with and redeeniable in
such coin.'
We insist upon this policy as es.
pecially necessary for the protection
of farmers and the laboring classes,
the first and most defenseless victims
of unstable money and n auctuating
currency.
