| live as a servant in the Republican ranks.
| II was 10 o'clock when Chairman Kerr
called the convention to order. All con-
| tests had been settled satisfactorily by
| the committees. The McKisson delegation
from Cuyahoga cleveland was shut out.
| The temporary organization was made
permanent
The following platform was adopted:
PLATFORM.
"The Republican party Of Ohio re-
afIirms the principles declared by the 81.
Louis platform.
I'VE earnestly endorse the great adj
ministration of William Mckinley. 1t Is
distinguished TO a remarkable degree in
the history of national administrations.
Under the last Democratic administra-
ton. and as result OF Democratic prin-
stroyed, capital and labor were unem-
ployed. tho poor suffered as never before
in our history, agricultural products could
not be sold because consumers could not
earn money with which 10 buy. and every
branch of trade felt the blighting influence
of the Democratic tariff reform-hard
times. The Treasury of the United
States was depleted and the gold reserve
disappeared. The government borrowed
money to pay current expenses. increas-
ing the debt in time of peace by hundreds
of millions of dollars. The Democratic
party proposed to the people, as a remedy
ciated and dishonest currency, which in
tensifed every i'll. During all that
period of depression and distress, the
Republican party stood fast for the prin-
ciples and policies under which American
industries had been built up and had flour
ished beyond example-the principles and
policies under which the people had pros
pered and the nation had grown great
for a generation; stood fast for sound
and honest currency and in 1896 elected |
10 the presidency William Mckinley the |
best exponent of true American ideas |
and politics, the friend OF every Ameri- |
can Industry, and the wisest and most
patriotic defender of honest money |
Under his splendid Republican admins |
tration credit has been restored pros- |
perity has developed our commerce has |
grown great our trade-domestic and |
foreign-has increased TO a degree meyer |
before known. and the people are look |
ing with confidence for greater things 10 |

THE WAR WITH SPAIN.
'The magnificent achievements of orr
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 Castilan despotism. accomplish
ed under the master guidance of a Re-
publican administration are necessarily
subjects for highest cncomium by a con-
yention 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
the momentous problem Of Cuba. Porto
Rico. and the Philippine Islands. the wise
solution OF which Will vastly Increase our
foreign trade spread American cNisza-
tion abroad and add 10 the power and
glory Of this great nation.
I'VE commend the President Tor the
notifications OF the civii-ser-
vice rules recently promulgated.
For the national defence; Tor The re-
of the navy; Tor the en-
largement OF our foreign markets: for
the employment of American working
men In the mines. forests, farms. mills.
and shp-yards, we demand the
enactment OF legislation SINH
lar TO that favorably reported to each
branch of the Fifty-fifth Congress at It's
last session, so that American-built,
and American-manned
ships may regain the carrying OF our for
eign commerce.
