st. Louis Platform Endorsed.
The platform adopted reaffirms the
principles declared by the st. Louis
platform. 1t indorses President Nc
Kinley as follows:
1--WE earnestly indorse the great admin.
istration OF William Mckinley. It Is dis
unguished to q remarkable degree in the
history Of national administrations On.
der his splendid republican administration
public credit has been restored, the pros
perity, Of the people has developed. our
commerce has grown great, our trade.
domestic and foreign. has increased to a
degree never before known. and the peo-
pie are looking with confidence for greater
things to come.
1.-THE magnificent achievements of our
army and navy In the war with Spain for
the liberation of the downtrodden and op-
pressed people of Cuba from the domina-
ton Of Castilian despotism, accomplished
under the master guidance Of a republican
administration, are necessarily subjects
for highest encomium by convention of
Ohio republicans.
'"To the same master guidance, con-
trolled 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
momentous problem of the future of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines Their wise
solution will vastly increase our foreign
trade, spread American civilization abroad
and add to the honor and power and glory
of this great nation.
1--WE commend the president for the jul
dicious notifications of the civil service
rules recently promulgated.
For the national defense, for the re-
enforcement of the navy, for the enlarge
ment of our foreign markets, for the en-
ployment of American workingmen in the
mines, forests, farms, mills, factories and
ship yards we demand the immediate en-
actment of legislation similar to that IA
vorably reported to each branch of the
Fifty-fifth congress at its last session, so
that American built, American owned and
American manned ships may regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce"
In reference to state matters the gen.
eralassembly is commended for the pas
sage of an antitrust law and such UNI
lawful combinations are denounced as
inimical to the interests of the people,
and the party is pledged to such further
legislation as experience may deter
mine necessary to prevent the forma-
tion and operation of such iniquitous
and dangerous combinations. A pro-
test is made against lynching and the
Ohio centennial at Toledo in 1902 is
strongly favored.
