The platform is as follows: The Repub.
licans OF Ohio congratulate the people of
the country upon the growth of Republican
sentiment as evidenced by the signal vic
tories of the last three years, which assure
a glorious national triumph in the coming
election.
We dsnounce the Democratic admins
tratjon a. the most destructive and disas-
trous the history of our country has ever
known. 1t has not only disappointed the
expectations of the country, but has justly
forfeited the confidence and support of its
own party.
We affirm our adherence to the principles
of the Republican party as defined by the
national convention in 1892.
We are faithfully welded to the great
principle of protection by every tie of
party fealty and affection, and it is dearer
70 us now than ever before. It has more
devoted supporters among the mass OF the
American people than at any previ GUS
period OF our national history.
It is everywhere recognized and en-
dorsed as the great, masterful, triumphant
American principle, a key to our prosper
ity in business, the safest prop to the treas
nry of the United States and the bulwark
of our national Independence and financial
honor.
We denounce the present tariff law as
the sublimated product of Democratic ig
norance and incompetency, bringing, as it
has, to a prosperous and happy people a
period of unprecedented adversely and
distress which nothing but return to the
policy of protection can relieve.
We denounce the free wool provisions of
the present tariff law as an unjust discrim-
tnation against an important industry and
against large part of our people, and de-
mand such protection for sheep husbandry
as will secure fair prices for American
wool.
The Republican party stands for a re-
ciprocity that reciprocates and does not
yield up to another country single day q
labor that belongs to the American work.
ingmap. 1t stands for International argu-
snents which get as much as they give
upon terms of mutual advantage. !,
stands for a foreign policy dictated by and
fmbued with spirit that is genuinely
American; for policy that will revive the
national traditions and restore the national
spirit which carried us proudly through the
earlier years of the century. 1t stands for
such policy with all foreign nations as
will insure both to us and TO them justice,
good faith, dignity and honor. 1t stands
for the Monroe doctrine as Monroe himself
proclaimed it. 1t stands for commercial
policy that whitens every sea with the sails
of American vessels flying the American
flag and that will protect that flag wher-
ever it floats. 1t stands for a fiscal
policy opposed to debts and defic-
its in time of peace and favors the
Eeturn of the government to a debt-paying
policy and opposes the continuance of the
debt-making policy. 1t is too plain for ar
gument that the public credit and CONNER
cial interests of the country require the
revenues of the government to be amply
times without danger of a deficit, and to
that end congress should, without delay,
make due provision.
We contend for honest money, for cur
fency of gold. silver and paper with which
to measure our exchange, that shall be as
nished as it's honor; and to that end we
favor bimetallism and demand the use of
both gold and silver as standard money.

1ation, as will secure the maintenance of
the PARTIES of the two metals. so that the
purchasing and debt-paying power of the
dollar. whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal.
We denounce the present administration
Of the pension bureau for its betrayal OF
the interests of the union soldiers and we
pledge anew to the veterans of the republic
. watchful care and recognition of their
Just claims upon grateful people.
The people have triumphantly elected
General Bushnell to the governorship, the
general assembly has emphatically en-
dorsed the peoples choice for United
States senator. Governor Foraker and we
congratulate the Republicans of Ohio that
today has completed the fultillment of all
the pledges made by their last convention.
We honor the eminent sons of other
states, whose splendid services and high
character have justified their present at
tention to the American people as candi-
dates for the presidency and we assure Re-
publicans everywhere that whoever NAV
lead the Republican hosts, OHIO will con-
tribute her share to swelling the tide of
victory in November.
The people of Ohio take satisfaction in
