THE STATE CONVENTION

Organized on the oath in Atlanta,
Hon. Thomas Hardeman, President.
Gov. SMITH was nominated by ac-
clamation, no dissentients. The
Liberal Republicans, headed by
ex-Gov. Brown, made overtures for
alliance and representation on the
Electoral Ticket, which the Con-
vention declined, whereupon the
liberals expressed their intention of
supporting the Electoral Ticket
nominated, but reserving the privi-
lege Of going for whom they pleas
ed in the Canvass for State officials
The Platform supports Greeley and
Brown and is made up as usual Of
"glittering generalities" touching the
old issues. The following electors
we're nominated for the State al
large:
LIST Distriot--H G. Turner Of Brooks; alter
nate, J. Rivers Of Laurens.
I'd District r. n. Ely of Dougherty; alter
nate, A. L. HAYES Of Baker.
3rd District--W j. Hudson Of Harris; alter
nate, T. +. Smith of Cowea.
4th District-J. NJ. Pace Of Newton; alter
nate, T. f. Newell of Baldwin
9th District--Dr II II. Kasey OF Columbia
alternate, A. M. Rogers Of Burke.
9th Dstrict-Jasper N. Dorsey Of Hall al
tenate. l.. J. Alfred Of Pckens.
18th District. d. Graham Of Dade alter
mate, II, A. Aston of DeKalb.
We have now in nomination, by
Democratic Conventions, candidates
for the Executive Departments of
the National and State governments.
They are none of our choosing
We could have found many to suit
US better; but in the game of poll.
ties sound judgment always prompts
ITO take the best we can get"--and
this is all that is left for us to do in
reference t. these important offices.

THE GEORGIA VOTE FOR pREsI
DENT

The result may not be confidently
predicted now, but may be closely
conjectured. There will be few
democrats who cannot bring them
selves to vote for Greeley in view of
his ante bellum record. There are
other few who secretly prefer Grant
and openly oppose Greeley. But
these constitute very small portion
of the democracy of Georgia; while,
on the other hand, it is now known
that a very large portion of the re-
publican vote of Georgia will go for
Greeley, so that his majority in the
State will be fully up to the usual
democratic strength.

Senate called to order by Presi-
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1872-05-16
OPENING DAY.

The grand day for the ladies Of CUR
City was last Thursday, when they were
invited to see the latest styles in bonnets
and hats, ribbons, artificial flowers, feath-
ers, laces, gloves and even some unmen-
tionable fixtures for ladies wear, and to
admire and then purchase Dolly Warden
or some other of the ten OF twelve differ
ent patterns in hats or bonnets. Mrs.
Feiker exhibited the largest assortment
ever brought to this City, including sam
pies imported direct from Paris, and if
ever our Ladies had occasion to be pleased,
they ought to be certainly at this time
one thing is evident, there is no necessi-
ty any more to send their money away
for obtaining the latest fashions, and our
milliners are certainly able and willing to
successfully compete in cheapness with
any ether city in the courtry.
Mrs. Wimpf opened her new establish
ment on York street. with all tie latest
styles and now keeps two Millinery stores
in this City.
Miss Sidel also is crowded with new
goods at her store near Sth street Bridge.
and all seem to have more work on hand
than they csp possibly finish according to
promise.

We notice by our Sheboygan exchanges
that they are terribly troubled about the
depth of water in our harbor. They
aohiue considerably about it. The tug
Kitty Smoke, only drawing seven feet of
water. has been in Sheboygan harbor
two or three times this spring, and the
captain reports to have never gone in or
out, without pounding heavily on the
bottom. IF Sheboygan harbor has
greater depth of water than ours, how is
it that the Sheboy -qanders send all of
their Lake Superior freight to Milwau-
kee by the Goodrich boats? None but
mosquito feet can enter that burg. If
the falsyyino marine reporter of those en-
terprising journals was standing on the
bottom of our river, anywhere below
Main street, (there being ten feet we
doubt very much as to whether his head
would be above water, though his tongue
might.
