The following is the platform
adopted
1.-The Republican party Of Ohio re-
affirms the principles declared by the
st. Louis platform, We earnestly in
dorse the great administration of
William Mckinley. 1t is distinguished
to a remarkable degree in the history
of national administrations
The magnificent achievements of
our army and navy in the war with
Spain for the liberation of the down
troddcn and oppressed people of Cuba
from the domination of Castillian des-
potism, accomplished under the mas
ter guidance of Republican admins
tration, arc necessarily subjects for
highest encomiun by /; convention of
Ohio Republicans.
ITO the same master guidance, con-
pllH LNop ptSo "i'oo
have shaped the high destiny of the
Republican party, from Lincoln to
Mckinley, the people can safely COM
nit the solution of the lnomentous
problem of the future of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Their wise
solution will vastly increase our for
eign trade, spread American civiliza-
ton abroad and add 10 the honor and
power and glory of this great nation.
We commend the President for the
iudicious notifications of the civil
service rules recently promulgated,
for the national defense, for the rein
forcement of the navy, for the en-
largement of our foreign markets, for
the employment of American work
-ngmen in the mines, forests, farms,
mills, factories and shipyards. We
demand the Immediate enactment of
legislation similar to that favorably
reported to each branch of the Fifty
fifth congress ut it's last session, so
that American built, American owned
and American-manrcd ships might re-
gain the carrying of our foreign COM
merce.
1--WE commend the action of the
seventythird general assembly of
Ohio in passing the stringent law now
on our statute BOOKS. prohibiting the
organizations of trusts and we de-
nouncc such uninwfGl combinations as
inimical 80 the interests of the peo-
pie.
"We congratulate the people of the
state upon the fHct that the Republi-
can legislature enacted this law and
we demand its rigid enforcement. We
pledge our party TO such further legis-
lation as experience may determine
necessary to prevent the formation
and operation of such iniquitous and
dangerous combinations"
