To the Editor of the Commercial.
Your article in the Commercial to-
day, in regard to the action of Liberal
Republicans at the October election, I
think is based upon an error, viz: the
error of supposing that there is any
large degree of hesitancy upon "the
subject. That question has been prac-
tically settled by the determination of
the friends of Greeley and Brown to
vote in October the ticket that repre-
sents Greeley and Brown in the State
election. T'j +. ." iii' a -
The Liberal Republican State Cen
trail Committee has been unit upon
this subject from the beginning. A
month ago circular was sent to the
local organization of every county
and township in the State, counseling
Liberal Republicans to vote as solid
unit for the Democratic State ticket
in October. >ft ~ H'i's.' ~
In response to this circular hundreds
of letters have been recefYed, and thus
far not more than half a dozen have
indicated anything else than cordial
approval of the policy advised BY Us.
. The REASONS for such approval are so
palpable thatit requires bdt q moments
sideration to convince any. friend
of Greeley, and Brown of the Infinite
/ folly or any other policy" To lose
Ohio, Indiana and sPe4nsylvania in
October by voting for tie Grant State
tickets, is simply snicide on the part
Of Liberal Republicans. The truth is
they are not in the mood for any such
nonsense. They proposeo to act in
perfect good faith with. all tie friends
