Pesolred, Bythe Delegates of the National
Union Republican party of Bedford coun-
ty, in County Convention assembled, this
9th day of June, A. D., 1868:
I. We cordially approve the nomination
Of GRANT and COLFAX and the platform Of
principles adopted at Chicago.
, Believing it would conduce to harmO-
ny, and give general satisfaction if nomina-
tions were made by the direct popular vote,
we do therefore adopt that system common
" called the Crawford County System.

4. We urge upon Republicans the neces-
Sity for a full turnout at the nominating elec-
tions; and upon election committees not on
" the necessity for rigorous honesty and
fairness, but that this shall be transparency
evident and that even the appearance of
bias should be avoided We 90 for Priuci-
pies not men. The welfare Of the cause of
National Republicanism is Of more impor-
tance than the success Of individuals,
On motion the Convention adjourned.
