Platform Adopted. The Democratic party of Ohio, In convention assembled, points with satisfaction and pride to the wisdom of the action of that party In the last two years and the results accomplished according to Its promises, to-wlt: The repeal of the Republican legislation known as the Sherman law, the un-Ameri-can Federal election law, and the McKinley law, from which repeals has resulted returning prosperity to the country to such an extent that even the Republicans are obliged to recognize the same. We congratulate President Cleveland that his efforts in favor of the repeal of these vicious laws and the upholding of the credit of the country have been successful. We congratulate our Senator, the Hon. Calvin S. Brice, for the earnest and effective support he has given to the President In these matters. When we consider the fact that the Democratic party received from the Republican* in 1892 a bankrupt treasury, that It Inherited from them the vicious currency and tariff laws which had prepared and finally produced the panic of 1893, we Insist that ft Is entitled to the thanks of the people for the courage with which It has attacked and repealed these laws. We reaffirm the following portion of the seventh plank of the platform of the last National Democratic Convention. “We hold to the use' of both gold and silver as tho standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and sliver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage; but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal Intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted by International agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall lnsnre the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times In the payment of debts; and we demand that the paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable In such coin. Wo Insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of farmer* and the laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and fluctuating currency.’’ We call the attention of the people to the methods and practices of bossism by which the Republican party in this State has been managed In the last few years, and for examples point to Its history in Hamilton county and to the final culmination of the same in the Zanesville convention, and we ask the people by their votes this fall to put their condemnation on such practices. We denounce the last Legislature as corrupt and unworthy of the confidence of the people, and we submit to tho voters whether they wish to perpetuate this condition of affairs by placing the Republicans again In power. « We view with alarm the large increase of Indebtedness throughout the State by counties and municipalities, as authorized by the last Legislature, and the Increase In the last few years In the tax rate, and we demand economy In expenditure and conservatism in the increase of debt.

C. S. BRICE.
