The republicans Of Ohio retoioe In the mag
nifcent victory Of last year, whereby the peo-
pie Of the United States overwhelmingly de-
cided in favor of an honest dollar and chance
to earn 1t, and elected as president that splOn-
did son Of Ohio William Mckinley,
The platform upon which that victory was
won declares the true principles and policy OF
the republican party. To all the declarations
Of that platform we pledge anew our allegiance
and unqualihedly commend the president and
congress for their wise and statesmanlike exc
oution Of It's pledges.
The republican party has always been the
friend of the downtrodden and oppressed and
has always deeply synpathized with the strug-
gle Of any people for independence. We ex-
tend our sympathy to the patriots Of Cuba in
their efforts to achieve freedom from Spanish
cruelty and oppression and hope that the day
OF their deliverance is near ut hand We COM
mend the course Of the president and express
our confidence in his speedy and petriotic dis
position OF the Cuban question In accordance
with wise statemanship and @ Arm and vigor-
Gus foreign policy. We believe that the sd-
ministration IN negotiating the treaty for the
annexation of Hawaii has acted wisely, and we
express the hope that the senate will ratity the
same
We denounce the violation Of the spirit Of
the civil service act by President Cleveland In
those orders which extended Its operation be-
yond Its purpose and intent and demand suoh
revocation Of orders or modification OF the law
as will accomplish Its manifest purpose

| pension bureau under the present admins tra-
tion and regard them as earneat OF the slnceri-
ty Of our pledges TO the veterans OF the republic
which we here renew OF @ wGtchful care and
nd apfo ~ al
claims upon grateful people
We favor the passage by congress OF such q
| law ss will provide national board Of arbitrA-
| ton 70 secure so far ss possible the adjust
| ment and settlement OF such differences as may
arise between corporations engaged In inter-
state commerce and their employee
Faithfully welded 70 the principle Of pro-
teotion, we demand for the wool growers Of
Ohio such ample protection for wool as shall
| speedily increase American nooks sufficiently &c
supply all American needs
We indorse the wise, faithful and setisfac-
| tory administration OF Governor Bushnell and
congratulate the people Of this state upon the
| financial condition OF their commonwealth
which demonstrates that the legislative power
OF the state was economically and honestly ex-
ercised by . republican legislature We
| promise . continuance Of biennial sessions
|
the present inequalities Of taxation, the max
ing Of only saOh appropriations As may b,
properly required for the needs Of our rapidly
| growing state aud the avoidance Of uAneces
sary special legislation, believing that the 70
| publican idea Of homo rule y best subservet
By leaving the broadest possible powers o
local government with ,he peopla Tho suo
oess Of the republican party will insure tho sd
van tages of better schools, better roads aat
oil those progressive ideas which will keel
Ohio at the head OF the sisterhood Of statea

representation In the United States senate.
Desiring to continue such representation ant

the people Of the state and nation, and his smi

dorse the candidacy OF Hon. Marcus 4 HannI
for United States senator TO succeed himself
and pledge the support Of the party In the mex
general assembly to his election 70 both th
short and the long termR
The mention of Senator Hannai

He thanked the convention for this expires
sion of confidence and pledged himself to co
operate with the standard bearer bushnell
for republican success In Ohio Senator Ham,
said the republicans had been warned that thi!

the challenge. The republicans of Ohio sl
ways fight best when there is danger ahead
The opposition propose to stir up the oncC
threshed straw. They will revive free silver II
Ohio, but never again free wool
He discussed the pending tsrin bill at lenGtl
and paid high tribute to Gen. Grosvcnor 10
