true American ideas and policies, the
friend of every American industry, and
the wise and patriotic defender and adj
vOcate of honest money.
Under his splendid Republican adj
ministration our credit has been re-
stored, the prosperity 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 people are looking with
confidence for greater things to come.
THE magnificent achievement Of the
army and navy in the war with Spain
for the liberation Of the down trodden
and oppressed people of Cuba from the
domination Of Castilian despotism, ac-
conplished under the master guidance
of a Republican administration, are
necessarily subjects for highest enco-
MUM by a convention of Ohio Repub-
licanS. To the same master guidance,
controlled by the great principles that
have shaped the high destiny of the
Republican party, from Lincoln to Nc
Kinley, the people can safely commit
the solution of the momentous problem
of the future of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. Their wise solution
will vastly increase our foreign trade,
and add to the honor and power and
glory Of this great nation.
I'VE commend the President for the
judicious notifications of the civil SER
vice rules recently promulgated, for
the national defense, for the reinforce
ment of the navy, for the enlargement
of our foreign markets, for the employ
ment of American workingmen in the
Mines forests, farms, mills factories
and Shipyards; we demand the imme-
diate enactment of legislation similar
to that favorably reported to each
branch of the Fifty fifth Congress at
it's last session, SO that American built,
American-owned and American-man-
ned ships may regain the carrying Of
our foreign commerce.
I'VE commend the action of the Sew
enty-third General Assembly of Ohio
in passing the stringent law now on
our statute books prohibiting the or
ganization of trusts, and we denounce
such unlawful combinations as inimical
to the interests of the people
I'VE congratulate the people of the
State upon the fact that a Republican
Legislature enacted this law, and we
demand its rigid enforcement.
I'VE pledge our party to such further
legislation as experience may determine
necessary to prevent the formation
and operation of such iniquitous and
dangerous combina TONS"
