The Platform.
The platform adopted by the conven-
ton is as follows:
The Republican party of Ohio reafflrms
the principles declared by the St. Louis
platform.
We earnestly endorse the great admin
istration of William Mckinley. 1t is dis
tinguished to II remarkable degree in the
history of national administration. Under
the last Democratic administration, and
as q result of the Democratic principles
and policy, u industries were destroyed,
capital and labor were unemployed, the
people suffered as never before in our his
tory; agricultural products could not be
sold because consumers could not earn
money with which to buy, and every
branch of trade felt tho blighting inhu.
ence Of tho Democratic tariff reform hard
times; the treasury of the United States
was depleted and the gold reserve disap-
peared. The government borrowed money
to pay current expenses. increasing the
public debt in times of peace by hundreds
OF millions of dollars.
The Democratic party proposed to the
people us a remedy for all these Demo-
cratic ills, a dcbascd and dishonest cur
rency, which intensified every evil.
During all that period Of depression
and distress, the Republican party stood
fast for the principles and policies under
which American industries had been
built up and had hourishcd beyond ex-
ample-the principles and policies under
which the people had prospered and the
nation had grown great for a generations;
stood fast for q sound and honest cur
rency and in 1885 elected to the presidency
William Mckinley, the best exponent of
Republicanism and true American ideas
and policies, the friend of every American
industry and the wise and patriotic de-
fender and advocate of honest money.
Under his splendid Republican admin.
istration public credit has been restored,
the property of the people has developed,
our commerce has grown great, our trade,
domestic and foreign, has increased to Il
degree never before known and the people
are looking with confidence for greater
things to come.
The magnificent achievements of u
army and navy in the war with Spain for
the liberation of the down-trodden and
oppressed people of Cuba from the domi-
nation of Castilian despotism, accom-
plished under the master guidance of a
Republican administration, are necessar-
lily subjects for highest encomium by q
convention of Ohio Republicans.
To the same master guidance, controlled
by the great principles that have shaped
the high destiny of the Republican party
from Lincoln to Mckinley, the people can
safely commit the solution of the none
tary problem of the future of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Their wise So
luton will vastly increase our foreign
trade, spread American civilization
abroad and add to the honor md power
and glory of this great nation.
We commend the president for the ju-
dicious notifications of the civil service
rules, recently promulgated; for the ma.
tional defense for the reinforcement of the
navy, for the enlargement Of our foreign
markets, for the employment of Amer.
lean workingmen in the mines, forests,
farms, mills, factories and shidyards.
We demand the immediate enactment
of legislation similar to that %favorably re-
ported to each branch of the Fifty-ffth
congress, at it's last session, SO that Amer
ican-built, American-owned and Amer
ican.manncd ships may regain the carry
ing of u foreign commerce.
Tho legislature of Ohio is commended
Tor passing the law prohibiting h organ,
ization Of trusts" and we denounce such
unlawful combinations as inimical to the
interests Of the people.
We congratulate the people of the state
upon the fact that a Republican legisla.
ture enacted this law, and we demand Its
rigid enforcement.
We pledge our party to such further
legislation IS experience may determine
necessary to prevent the formation and
operation Of such iniquitous and danger.
Ous combinations.
Other resolutions recommend laws fol
aqualizing taxes, uniform system of &c.
lecting delegates for state conventions,
protesting against lynching, and strongly
favoring the Ohio centennial at Toledo in
1904.
