COLUMBUS, O., March 1.-THE Grano
opera house was unable again today to
give admission to more than half of those
holding tickets and wearing badges with
McKinley's pictures thereon.
With a heavy snow falling, standing
room ON the outside was not as desirable
as yesterday.
The temporary organization of the con-
vention was unanimously made the per-
manent organization when Chairman
Foraker briefly acknowledged the double
honor and proceeded with business.
Congressman j. NJ. Taylor, chairman
of the committee on resolutions reported
the platform, which was greeted with
frequent applause, and adopted 1t said:
ave are faithfully welded to the great
principle of protection by ever tie of
party fealty and affection, and it is dearer
to us now than ever before. 1t has more
devoted supporters among the great
masses of the American people, ,irrespect-
i've of party, than at any previous period
in our national history. 1t is everywhere
recognized and endorsed as the great
masterful, triumph ant American princi-
plea key to our prosperity in business,
the safest prop to the treasury 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
ignorance and incompetency, bringing as
il has to pros porous and happy people
a period of unprecedented adversely and
distress from which nothing but re-
turn to the policy of protection can re-
iieve it.
The Republican party stands for a fis-
cal policy opposed TO debts and deficits
in time of peace and favor5 the return of
the government to debt paying policy
and opposes the continuance of the debt
making policy. 1t is too plain for argu-
ment that the public credit aud
try require the revenues of the
government to be amply sufficient
for the public expenditures at all times
without danger of a deficit and to that
end congress should without delay make
due provision.
I'VE contend for honest money; for
gold, silver and paper with which to
measure our exchange that shall be as
sound as the government and as untar-
nished as its honor; and to that end We
favor bimetalism and demand the use
of both gold and silver as standard money
either in accordance with a ratio to be
fixed by an International agreement
if that can be obtained, or under such
restrictions and such provisions to be de-
termined by legislation, as will secure
the maintenance of the PARTIES of the
values of the two metals SO that the pur-
chasing and debt paying power of the
dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper
shall be at all times equal.
1--WE honor the eminent sons of other
states whose splendid services and high
character have justified their presenta-
tion TO the American people as candidates
for the presidency and we assure Re-
publicans everywhere that whoever may
lead the Republican hosts, Ohio will con-
tribute her share to the swelling tide of
victory in November. The people of
Ohio take satisfaction in the expressions
coming in from every section of our
common country of popular approval of
their distinguished fellow citizen, VIM.
cate of protection who has
all his life stood for America, its facto-
ries, its farms and tresidss, finds his re-
ward in the confidence and affection of
the people whose interests have been his
constant care. The Republicans of Ohio
pledge him anew the absolutely loyal
aud unswerving support of his state at
the national convention. and instruct the
delegates chosen to represent Ohio to
redeem thiS pledge"
