The extreme wing of the Republican
marty met in convention yesterday o.
Jackson, Mississippi, and placed in NOM
;nat;on the names of Gen. Alcorn for
Governor (who wss nominated BY &C.
clamation); N. G. Powers for Lieutenant
Governor, james Lynch (negro) tor
Secretary of State, H. Musgrove for Au-
d;tor of Public Accounts, William d.
ya,ser for Treasurer, and Judge ). 8.
Morris for Attorney General This is
the final set.cff to the Dent ticket, NOM
mated some time since, and viii
comnare favorably with it. The
head of the ticket (Alcorn) is we'll
known in Mississippi and Tennessee
and it may be said with great truth that
there is nothing known favorabIy OF him
in either State. The Confederates al
have a knowledge of the course OF this
man who aspired to be Msjor General
IN The Confederate army, and because
Jsfferson Davis, then President of the
Confederacy, did not, as Alcorn thought
have the proper appreciation OF bis Mt
ness for the office, the fustian Doh
Ouixote left of being co-operator 10
the Southern cause and returned 70 the
