CHICAGO, May 22.-The Commit
tee on Resolutions reported con-
CALCULATIONS to the country on the
assured success of the Congressional
plan of reconstruction. Congress
must guarantee and maintain suf-
frage to Southern loyalists. Denoun-
ccs reputation as National crime.
The National obligations must be
paid in the letter and spirit. De-
mands equalization and reduction
of taxes, favors extending the re-
demption of the debt to the latest
day reducing interest whenever
honorably possible. The Govern
ment should be administered with
the strictest economy. Corruption
and extravaganza fostered by john
son S should be reformed. Lincoln's
death and Johnson's accession are
deplorod. He is q usurper, violator
of laws Instructor of reconstruction
and justly impeachcd ofhigh crimes
and misdemeanors. No citizens,
native or naturalized, must be i'm
prsoned when abroad, except for
violation ofIaw. Eulogizcs soldiers
and sailors; their country's obliga-
tons are never to be forgotten; their
orphans and widows are nations
wards. Immigration should be
fostcred by a liberia: and just policy.
The Convention sympathizes with
all oppressed people who are strug-
Cling for their rights. Adopted, two
dissenting.
Logan nominated Grant, who was
unanimously nominated. Governor
Brown, announcing Georgia's vote,
said the maxim of Georgia repub-
licans was, "enemies in war, in
peace friends"
