1t is to the credit of the political honesty
of the country that the financial plank of
the Ohio Republicans has met with no fa-

single and double standard men equally
den and that the candidates and parties
shall speak out and array themselves on
one side or the other. 1t is to be hoped
that the reception of the Ohio plank will
have good effect on the other politicians
