But there was another Democratic
reaction on, and Governor Foraker
met with defeat. The Ohio Repub-
lican platform of 1889, the last upon
which Senat Foraker stood as
candidate for Governor, affirmed:
I'VE renew our adherence to all
the principles 30 clearly and strongly
enumerated by the Republican Ma.

on both occasions as Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions. His hand

of 1892: 81

our country is largely due the wise
