Tue Lynchburg Republican says =
"No personal consideration should be al
lowed to enter the contest, which will be
narrowed down between Conservative
candidate and one put forward by the
Radical party. TO refuse to support the
formeris to give aid to the latter, and
this isa position which we hardly think
any of our Conservative friends woGld
like to occupy. The true course
is, that while you may have personal
preference, you will submit to the decis-
ion of the nominating convention, demand
ing united support fer your candidate if he
should he presented, and an turn accord
ing like support to the nominee if he
should not be your choice. This is no

The Democratic State Convention of

adopted are in substance as follows: q" A
general indictment against the Republi-

form in internal Revenue matters. De-
nouncing the Congressional Naturalization
act. Rejoicing at the downfall of Impe-
rialisn, in France and the establishment
Of French Republic. and also the rees-
adjustment of German unity. Sympa-
thizipg with the people of ireland, CUBA.
and all others struggling for liberty,
Calling for TIE extension OF clemcncy to
prisoners for violating the Neutrality laws.
Endorsing the Canal Funding bill. En~
dorsing the administration of Governor

were excluded, sent protest to the Off

taken of it, eaa

President Grant has written letter to
the u. S. Internal Revenue collector, at
ST. Louis, misunderstanding the Rcpubli
can ticket in Missouri headed by Brown
for Governor, and commencing the reg
ular" candidate of the party.
In the letter he says: II regard the
movement headed by Carl Schurz. Brown
& Co., as similar to the Tennessee and
Virginia movements, intended to carry
portion of the Republican party over to
the Democrats, and thus give them con-
troll. I hope you will all see your way
clear to give the regular ticket your sup
port"
Judging the results in Virginia and
Tennessee, the weight of the Presidents
influence is not great.

IF the necessity Of the occasion is such
as to warrant the holding of a Congress
ional Convention, in this District. in order
to secure suitable and proper representa-
tion in Congress, We would suggest that
a strict States Right Democratic platform
be adopted by the Convention. together
with resolution requiring the nominee to
announce himself fairly and squaroly up
on the text Of that safeguard. IF this
policy is rigidly insisted upon it will pre-
vent an occurrence similar to the last cana
paign, and insure US against bad faith, s
.practiced by our United States Sela:or
for the long terra. Tho people CT t RICH
should require this bond for good
faith and proper representation.
