Country Looks to Ohio.
'Now, as for forty years, since the be-
ginning Of the republican era In Ohio. the
country has looked to the state for gui-
dance and example. The Ohio idea has
been paramount ,, not only in the councils
l OF the republican party, but in the nation
itself, while the republican party and its
principles have become practically the in
lcarnatton of the country. Ohio's work Is
Ia Hateful work She is the personif1catior
of all lofty ideals Of craftsmanship and
good government In the past she has
spoken thru the republican party as she
will speak this year. The country waits
, our decision, and by the adoption Of oul
resolutions the word goes out that we still
, believe in calmness and conservative ac
. ton.
, 1--WE favor the extreme in nothing. w,
are for no fads or isns, no matter whenc,
, they come or by whom they are cham
ptoned. Republican nonsense Is as dan
gerous to the body polite as any othe
y kind. Untried and untested theories Q
government or conduct should find n
place in cur category Of principles. TIL
sails of the republican party In this stat
have, never been trimmed to catch tn
+ passing breeze. and it has never floate
: q doubtful flag.
= Let us, therefore, continue to steer
:, middle course and retain our position a
. the settling grounds between the sections

tween the east and the west"
