On motion, it was declared that Hon

Mr. Brady offered the following resolu-
ton: --
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that in the present state Of affairs
in the South, no Republican vote ought to
be cast under any circumstances, for any
candidate who is not an open and ayoSed
Republican. 80 -r.3 Inf ny
This resolution elected considerable dis
cussion. Judge NJ NJ. Brien as Republi- /
can, rather favored it. He thought too,
that the Republicans ought to present a
bold front, and run candidate for every
Office, municipal and others, whether
elected or not They should run candi
dates to keep up organization. They
should at least fire blank cartridges As
to the present candidate for Mayor, neither
Morris nor Beech was his man. All that
Beech had ever done for the Republicans
that he knew OF, was to boast that he had
burnt bridge this side Of Louisville 10
prevent the advance of the Federal army.
He advised them to nominate a candidate
for Mayor and to vote for him, and for
every Office from the lowest to the Presi-
dency of the United States, and to vote
for Republican from principle. j.
The. convention adjourned without pass
ing the resolution.
