We had seen Jsf5srsop's Rip some

Perhaps the best criterion Of an sctOr's

II may be truthfully said Of Rsinforth

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-05
ANOTHER WISE MAN SPEAKS,

Charles M. Conrad, always known and
respected in Louisiana as an able man and
a sincere patriot, has addressed letter to
the New Orleans Times, in which he
indorses the policy Of supporting Mr..
Greeley. He does not halt nor equivocate
in his expression of opinion, but drives
directly at the subject as one upon which
his opinions and convictions are fixed and
satisfactory.
Mr.. Conrad instructs his old friends
that the Liberal Republican movement
originated in the minds Of patriotic men,
not from any sinister or selfish impulse,
but from a sincere conviction that it was
necessary to the preservation Of the liber-
ties Of the country. It developed itself
among the men who belonged to the party
in power, and is, therefore, to be credited
as honorable, because it was made against
the interests Of those who set it in motion
The patriots who first arrayed themselves
against General Grant had all to lose
and nothing to gain by their protest
against his abuse Of power. And Mr..
Conrad gives to Governor Warmoth the
credit Of having engaged in this perilous
opposition in its earliest beginning, for he
distinctly says that Louisiana furnished
prompt assistance to the revolt which a
small band Of distinguished Republicans
boldly raised against executive usurpation
and corruption.
Judge Conrad asks Of the people of
Louisiana if they are willing to turn their
backs upon this effort to reform the coun-
try when the men who set it in motion are
holding out their hands to them for help.
If the Liberal Republicans were selfish or
ambitious, they might make terms with
Grant, and become the partners in that
corruption which is destroying the virtue
and beating down the intelligence of the
country. As they are not selfish enough
to surrender, they demand the assistance
Of all who are equally unselfsh as them
selves in efecting the reforms which will
save the people
The principles which the Liberal Repub-
icans' advance are acceptable to the South,
the candidates are committed to those
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-05
TIE TWO CONVENTIONS.

The two conventions were in session
yesterday. The Democratic convention
met at eleven o'clock, and on motion Of
Judge McEnery, of Ouachita, who stated
that, in view of the fact that the conven-
ton had appointed committee Of confer
ence the previous day to act with a like
committee to be appointed by the Reform
convention, he would move an adjourn
ment until three o'clock. This motion
finally prevailed by vote of 231 yeas to
80 nays.
This convention met according to ad-
journment, and without transaeting anv
business Of importance, adjourned again
until this morning at eleven o'clock. Dur
ing the afternoon session Judge Hunt rose
to a privileged question and spoke at some
length in explanation Of a speech he made
the night before. We regret that we did
not hear either Of these speeches, and are,
consequently, unable to speak Of them
from personal knowledge as they deserve.
We are confident, however, the learned
judge did not fail in an effort to do himself
justice while seeking to empty the walls Of
his wrath upon Governor Warmoth. The
gray hairs Of the venerable patriarch led
US to look for more reason and less passion
than has been displayed by Judge Hunt in
his personal attack upon Governor War
moth, at time when harmony is essential
for the success Of reform.
The Reform convention met at twelve
o'clock and was called to order by Judge
Thomas H. Kennedy, president Of the
Reform State Central Committee, who an
nounced that the duties of the provisional
committee ceased with the meeting Of the
convention. Judge Kennedy, after adj
dressing the convention in a few appro-
pirate remarks, nominated J. D. Hill,
ESQ, as temporary chairman. Mr.. Hill
was elected chairman, and upon taking
The chair rendered his thanks to the con-
vention for the compliment conferred
upon him. He said at least one signif-
cant thing, and that was that the conven-
ton must proceed to act upon the broad
est liberality in its thoughts and deter
limiting them by no prejudice
and'no bitterness.
Mr.. Robert Gribble was elected tenn
poTary secretary of the convention, and
after the appointment Of d committee on
the convention took a recess
Of one hour in order to give the COM
mittee time to report.
The convention met again in the after
noon, adopted the report Of the committee
on credentials, elected Mr.. George vii
Hanson, Of Caddo, permanent president, |
appointed committee Of conference to |
confer with a like committee appointed |
by the Democratic convention, and adj
jouTned.
The public viii look with much anxiety
