REPUBLICAN, u0NYMNrlON.
Maynard Nominated.


The Republican State Convention
which met in Chattanooga the 18Th in
slant, nominated Horace Maynard by
acclamation. Maynard made n speech,
accepting the h0nor, and declared him
SELF for tue Civil Rights Bill entirely ;
claimed that it did not mean mixed
schools, except those supported hy tn"
United States; said better, however,
to have said nothing ahont schools, as
it was premature; attacked the iiaan-
cial plank in the Democratic platform.
and defended the national bank sys
ten denounced outragcs, and limited
that Brown ought to have done more,
but did not charge it; and announced
that he would make . thorough can.
yass Of the State.
But the most significant feature Of
the proceedings is that the platform
lodges the Civjl Rights BIZ entirely.
As some facctious Democrat remarked ,
The white Republicans get the plat
form, and tho negroes get the candi,
date.
