THE DanvilIe Adrocate suggests
I'VE think it eminently proper that the
Greeley and Brown electoral ticket, in
this State, should contain the names OF
two or three Liberal Republicans. The
ticket was formed by the Democratic
State Convention, previous to the assem-
bling Of the Baltimore Convention, and
is made up exclusively of Democrats.
The National Convention having adopted
the platform of the Liberal Republicans
and nominated the same ticket, we are
essentially one party coutending for the
same principles. Ia some Of the North
ern States there has been an equal divis-
ion of the ticket but this could not be
asked in Kentucky. where the larger
portion of the vote that will be cast for
Greeley and Brown will come from the
Democratic ranks. Yet 1t occurs to US
that it would be we'll for two or three OF
the Democratic electors to retire, aud
permit their places to be filed with Lib
eral Republicans who have gone into
this movement from patriotic considera
tons"
