Resolred, That we do now acept a plat
form of this convention the platform of the
Cincinnati convention, and we isderso the
presidential tieket put forth by said conven
tion accepting Horace (Gteeley and B. OGrtz
Brown as our standard bearers in the ap
proaching national contest.
Besaoved, That any indorsement of the Cus
tom-Hoase ring would be a base surrender of
prmatple and self-respect. Any coalition
with them would drive from us the largo
body of white citizens who are ready to join
us on a Republican basis, and to defend our
liberties and rights, and would bring about a
division in politics upon the line of white and
black, and that such a course would be de
structive to our people and ir4Jrious to the
whole State; and that for these high and ur
gent reasons we do now indorse,datify and
nominate as our ticket the ticket ~iominated
.August 9th and 10th by the Liberal 8tate
convention, headed by Colonel D. B. Penn
and F. E. Dumas, and do urge upon all our
people to support and vote for it.

vention appoint an executive committee of
fifteen memnbers, to be known as the Auxil

dition to the powers and duties nominally
pertaining to such committees, shall be eni
powered to act as a conference committee.
and shall put themselves in communication
with t'ce Liberal State Committee for the
purpose of securing harmonious action there
with, and also to secure such modification
as may be deemed necessary to make the
