SbhSuhssHs
Tho undersigned, disclaiming any
authority TO speak for any others
than themselves, being deeply i'm
pressed with tho necessity of con-
corted action among those who FL.
vor tho ratification Of tho constitu.
ton and consequent speedy rcor-
ganization ofcivil government, altcr
mature reflection, and upon a very
FREQ interchange Of opinions by
written and oral communications
with hundreds Of tho most earnest
and influential Republicans in every
section of tho State, who wcro un-
able to attend consultation, and
whose letters form the basis of our
present action, and who are ANNA
ted by similar purposes with our
selves, beg leave to recommend tho
following named gentlemen as wor-
thy theconidenco and support Of all
patriotic citizens for tho several
State Offices named. They are all
Republicans, and we present them
as such. They are old citizens, long
identified with tho State, and need
no special commentator at our
hands.
For Lieutenant Govornor.-Judgc
A. II. Latimer, ofRed River county.
For Comptroller.-A. 7. Monroe,
of Houston county.
For Treasurer.-J. W. Thomas, Of
Collin county.
For Commissioner of the General
Land Oflice.--J. Schutze, of Bastrop
county. 49,.
Gov. A. J. Hamilton is already
before tho people as n candidate for
Governor. In. announcing Himself,
he has but yielded to the irrcsistib,
voice Of the people, proclaimed wi 'e
a unanimity heretofore unparalleled
in this State, excepting only in the
case of the last election of the lamen-
ted Houston.
His stern devotion to those prin-
ciples which received tho national
approval in the election of Gen.
Grant, his introduction and advoca-
cy in the Convention of those liber-
al features in the proposed Constitu-
ton which meets the approval of the
the most liberal and enlightened
statesmen ofour party, and touched
the hearts Of those heretofore oppos-
ing us, and above all, his large heart
and commanding talents, point to
him with unerring certainty, as the
only man in our midst who can res
tore to us again the blessings of
peace.
1t is but Just that We should re-
cognizo the attitude asumod by those
who have heretofore antagonized us
From the tone of their leading jour
nails, and the utterances of their
most trusted leaders, IL is evident
that thoy too are in search of the
paths of peace. They sock no par
ty triumphs; but with on earnest
ness which challenges our conf
dcnce and respect, concede that the
State Government shall be controll-
cd by those who are known to nos:
sess the confidence of tho National
authorities.
1t is, therefore, respectfully re-
commended that all those through
out the State, who arc in favor of
the adoption Of the proposed Con-
stitutioD, and the election Of Gov.
Hamilton will meet in their rcspcc-
tive counties, at such times as may
be convenient, and give a public ex-
preston of their opinions Of the tick
ct we have recommended.
We feel justified in pursuing the
course herein indicated from the
fact, that a majority of the Rcpubli-
can members of the Constitutional
Convention deemed itunwise to call
a part convention. So also tho Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Republic
can party, in which view we most
heartily concur, as do also the great
mass Of the leading Republicans of
the State, as shown by their letters
at our consultation.
We earnestly desire the restora-
ton Of the peace of society, and the
ofall unfricndly memoir
les of the past. In pursuit Of these
laudable objects, which must com
mend themselves to the judgment
and conscience Of all considcrate
men, we appeal 10 the virtue, in
tclligenco and patriotism of the
confident that the appeal
will not have been in vain.
