POLITICAL STANDING OF COLUMBUS LIE
CION.-This strong club has declared in
favor of the Liberal party, the declaration
having been made Sunday evening at a
meeting in the rotunda of the st. Louis
Hotel, Mr. j. P. Macheca presiding at the
deliberations. The meeting was called for
the express purpose of agreeing on a pO-
litical course to be pursued during the
present campaign. The following resolu-
tons were read in English and Italian, and
were readily adopted:
Re80lced, BY the Columbus Legion, repre-
senting the city of New Orleans, that we do
earnestly and heartily indOrse the platform
Of principles adopted at Cincinnati and ap-
proved by the Baltimore convention.
ReSOlred, That we indOrse and approve
and pledge ourselves to support the nOmi-
nations OF the Cincinnati and Baltimore
conventions, believing, as we do, that Gree
ley and Brown fully represent the liberal,
patriotic and honest Republican sentiment
of the country
ResoLred, That we approve and indorse
the call of the Liberal Executive Committee
for a State convention, to be held on the
fifth Of August, and pledge our support to
the State and electoral tickets to be pre-
sented by that convention.
These resolutions had previously been
adopted by the executive committee. Sew
eral members spoke to the question before
the resolutions were adopted, but the oppo-
sitiOn was very limited, and finally subsidized
altogether. When the yeas and nays were
called, by a showing Of hands, not an op-
posing arm was lifted.
Deafening cheers followed, and the men,
bers appeared well pleased with the result.
