Ohio Declares for Bryan.
Imperialism in America Severely
Denounced.

Denounced.
The following is an abstract of the
platform adopted by the Ohio Dem
ocrats in convention assembled:
We heartily re affirm the entire
Chicago platform of 1896; and We
especially emphasize the financial
plank therein, and We continue to
demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold as equal in
primary money, at the rate of 16 to
l, independent of all the other ma
tions of the world.
The Hon. VIM. J. Bryan still re-
tains our entire confidence and We
demand his denomination in 1900.
We recognize the solemn fact that
our government cannot be both Re
public and imperial.
We stand in line with Washington,
jefferson, jackson, Lincoln, Grant
and all the other American patriots,
living and dead, in desiring the per-
petuity of our Republic.
We are radically and unalterably
opposed to imperialism in the United
States of America. When We have
solved some of the race problems
that confront US at home, then by
example, We can proclaim the bless
ings that flow from free institutions
and thus procure ''benevolent assim-
ilation without criminal aggression
We are opposed to entangling alli-
ances with foreign kingdoms and en-
pires.
We com mend the action of Con-
gress in declaring that our war with
Spain was for humanity, not for con-
quest.
We proudly recognize the valor
and glorious achievements of our
gallant soldiers and sailors from
Bunker Hill to this very hour, as be-
ing among the most thrilling and
glorious in the history of the world,
but We PROFOUNDLY regret that Amer
ican soldiers are being unlawfully
used in the name of liberty, to crush
and destroy dawning republicanism
in the Orient, and We denounce the
secret and viscious alliance now in
evidence between England and the
Republican administration whereby
this nation may become involved in
war with foreign nations.
We demand that the Cubans and
Filipinos not only be permitted but
encouraged to establish Independent
republics, deriving all their govern
mental powers from the consent of
the governed.
We denounce the Republican party
for it's thirty eight years of abject
subservience to the shipping interest
of Great Britain ard we denounce
tie HANNAH Payne shipping bill, which
if enacted into law, would further
shackle our interests.
We are in favor Ct maintaining
our splendid and efficient navy.
A large standing army is menace
to our liberty.
We favor the initiative and referen-
dunn, the passage Of the eight hou,
labor law, the more rigid inspection
of mines and workshops, the probibi
tion of sweat shops, and the abolition
of the contract system of prison Ia
Dor.
We declare that all unlawful com
binations of capital are the legisi
mate fruits Of a gold standard anc
other corrupt Republican Legislation
on the questions Of the tariff, ane
we demand that ali articles the prices
Of which are controlled by the trusts
be placed on the free list.

Of Mr.. d. f.. Campbell was robbed of an

withdraw. At Ruther Glen. 1t is report
ed. the store Of Hunter a. Co. suffered a
loss amounting 10 $40. and an attempt
was made to rob the station-hand Of his

and several clocks. The rowdies further
amused themselves by breaking the glass
