Gen Robert Lowry, chairman of Execu-
tive Committees called the Convention TO
order at eleven o'clock; and. after briefly
addressing the Convention, moved that the
| Hon. John W. C. Watson be called to the

whereupon Judge Watson took the chair
and returned TO the Convention his pro-
found acknowledgment of the honor con-
ferred. He called attention TO the fact that
this was a critical period in our national
history, and that upon the action OF this
body may depend the issue of the PreSl-
II Dental election, and on that result was sus-
pended the weightieSt conceivable conse-
quences. The reelection of Gen. Grant
would consummate mighty revolution III
the character of our government. ndef
his policy, if continued. the government
must become great central, all-absorbing,
consolidated. unconstitutional jurisdiction
Corruption in office should cease, the rule
of the bayOnet must be rebnked, and the
era of honesty. capacity and fidelity in of
flee must be reinaugurated. Harmony and
united action was ali that was necessary TO.
secure the overthrow of Grant. All oppo-
sing forces should be united in one unbro-
ken phalanx, and thus popular triumph
