The republicans of Ohio congratulate the
people Of the country upon the gIoy. -. of re-
publican sentiment as evidenced by the strnol
victories of the lsst three years, which assure
q glorious national triumph in the coming
election
We denounce the democtatic administration
| as the most destructive and disastrous the
history of our country has ever known. 1t has
not only disappointed the expectations OF the
country, but has justly forfeited the conf
dence and support of its own party.
We afarm our adherence to the principles Of
the the republican party as defined by the ma
tional convention of 1892.
We are faithfully welded to the great princi-
pie OF protection by every tie OF party fealty
and affection, and 1t Is dearer to us now than
ever before. 1t has more devoted supporters
among the great mass OF American people ir-
respective OF party, than at any previous time
in our national history. 1t is everywhere re-
cognized and endorsed as the great, masterful,
triumphant, American principle; the key to
our prosperity In business, the safest prop to
! the treasury of the United States and the
| bulwark Of our national independence ana
| financial honor.
We dsnounce the present tsrin law as the
sublimatsd product Of democratic ignorance
and incompetency. bringing. a. 1t has, TO .
