The Republican state Central Committee having.
in the discharge Of the duties imposed upon them
by the last State Convention arrived at the regular
period which has been cot apart by the usages OF
the party for its State Conventions. and having
authorized their President to issue the usual call

this year The election Of this high ofacer Of the
republic, whose character and political views are
soimportant. especially to the Republicans OF the
South, and whose selection almost decides polt
ica fate for the next four years. and perhaps for the
whole future, makes this election one of the deep.
est and most vital interest to al our people. We
feel that we speak their unanimous sentiment
when we invite them to respond to the call of the
National Republican Committee, and sdvise them
to send our best representative men to the Phila-
delphia Convention, to help in selecting tried,
true and unfinching Republican to be our next
President Our State election is also Of the great
est importance. We have to elect q Governor.
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor
of Public Accounts, Superintendent Of Public Edu-
cation, Attorney General, new General Assembly,
and Representatives in Congress. In fact, this
election is to determine question still more i'm.
portant to us than who shall be the next President
It is to determine for the next four years whether
the State government shall be Republican or Demo
cratic; in favor Of equal rights against Them in
favor Of progress, education and Improvement for
all people, black a. wen as white or in favor
only of white progress, education and improve
ment and opposed to equal advantages for
the black people; whether we shall retain all that
we have won and 60 forward, or whether we shall
lose all and go back to where We were at the close
of the war. -s ,-
We wish plainly and distinctly to understand the
fact that all parties opposed to the Republican
party whether under the name of Democrats, Re-
formers, Peoples party or any other title what
ever, are simply the old Democratic party under
new Names and have for their object but one thing
that is to throw the State government ont Of the
control Of the Republican party and into the hands
of their enemies Our people viii also see that to
defeat the strong and determined efforts of the
enemy to again get control Of the State, thing
is the great essential that all Republicans shall be
UNITED AND WORK TOGETHER II we do this
victory ia certain.
To this end, we cordially invite all true and
earnest Republicans, without regard to past differ
ences to unite in this convention and to nominats
| such ticket and adopt such aplatforn as viii
command the respect and support of the whole
| people.
| AL good Republicans also desire that our party
shal a. we are assured it will. declare itself de
cidedly, distinctly and definitely in favor of re
| trenchment, reform. reduction of taxes and tn
| removal of all unnecessary burdens on commerc
and trade, and in favor Of equal and just legisla
ton for all interests and all classes of persons
| By order of the committee.
