The next Union Republican National Conven-
ton, for the nomination of candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States, will
be held in the city of Cincinnati, on Wednesday,
June 14th 1876, at IL o'clock noon, and will con-
sist of delegates from each State equal to twice the
Congress and of two delegates from each organ
lied Territory and the District of Columbia
In calling the convention for the election of
delegates, the committees of the several States
recommended TO invite all republican electors and
all other voters, without regard to past political
difference or previous party utilization, who are
opposed to reviving sectional issues, and desire to
promote friendly feelings and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and en-
forcing all the constitutional rights of every cG-

right of suffrage without intimidation and with
out fraud, and who are in favor of continued pro-
secution and fuller punishment of all official dis:
honesty and an economical administration
of the government by honest, faithful and capable
officers who are in favor of making such reforms
in the government as experience may from time

credit Of the nation by deprecatng any of its OBJ
legations, and in favor of sustaining in every way
the national faith and financial honor; who hold
that the common school system is the nursery Of
American liberty, and should be maintained alb
s0lutely free from sectarian control; who be-
lieve that for the promotion of these ends the
direction of the government should continue to
be confded to those who adhere TO the principles
Of l776, support them as incorporated in the con-

4 FRANK STATEMENT.

| The New York Tribune has the frank,
ness to acknowledge that its experience
III regard to accusations against Mr.. Blaine
has been of a character to render 1t eau
tons how it credits reports defamatory OF
him. 1t has therefore taken no stock In
the recent charges against him, and THINKS
those who originated them had better pro-
duce their proof promptly or retract their
accusations as the Tribune did when made
sensible of its error. The frank and true
statement Of the Tribune is very interest
inc reading about this time. 1t is as fol-
lows:
There can be no doubt of the general
effect OF Mr. Blaine's speech in defense OF
himself against the anonymous charges OF
corruption in railroad affairs. 1t is gener-
ally accepted as an absolute and conciu-
sive refutaton-to be shaken only by pos
tive proof of the falsity of some OF its
explicit statements. If anybody has such
proof, now is the time to bring 1t forward.
If there is none, the effect OF the charges
will inevitably be to improve Mr.. Blalne's
standing. The Tribune has taken no stock
whatever in these latter accusations. 1t
had an experience with Mr.. Blaine in 1872,
with which it was entirely satisfied to quit
that business. We had then legal docu-
menls which seemed to constitute Prana
tdcie case. 1t turned out that they were
full OF blunders, that the number of shares
charged to him was monstrously increased
by clerical error in the lawyers Office.
and finally that the Blaine involved was
not the SpeakeI.at all. Thereupon, in the
midst of the heated campaign, the Tribune
promptly made an explicit and complete
retractIon. If there are responsible back
ers for the present charges, it is time for
them now to prove them promptly. Or
do as the Tribune did,

ments and could not be treated by the
United States, and said this aggrandize-
ment of the powers of the States by the
federal government is one of the radical
evils Of our time. He would vote against
the bill, believing that legislation to re-
form the vice Of intemperance only in
creased the evil He submitted an
amendment instructing the Commission
to inquire whether the use of opium as q
substitute for alcoholic drinks had not
become more general in consequence OF
legislation.
Mr.. Sherman said the use of spirituous
liquors was the cause of crime in all parts
of the world and caused beggary and
poverty. This vice was almost universal,
and il seemed to him that the Congress
of the United States might well give the
subject full and fair examination. He
was not in favor OF prohibitory laws, but
he believed the passage of this bill would
promote the common good and Congress
had the right to pass it.
Mr.. Howe, of Wis, spoke in favor of
the bill, and hoped the Senate of the
United States would not decline to make
the small appropriation asked for. He
thought the argument of the Senator
from Delaware (Mr. Bayard) premature,
as this was not bill to prevent the sale
of liquor.
The amendment of Mr.. Bayard was
rejected
Mr.. Morrell, OF Ne, said while the
whole question regulating the sale Of in
toxicating drinks belonged primarily to
the States, he could see that this bill was
for the good of the whole country, and
the inquiry proposed should be made.
The government authorized the manufac-
So Of al 20
and surely Congress had the right to in
quire into a subject which brought reve-
nue. to the government The inquiry
should be made as to the moral, social,
and economic aspect Of the liquor traffic.
The question was not new one at all.
At the close OF the Revolutionary War,
and for two or three decades after, the
people of this country drank more liquor
per capita than those OF any country on
the face of the earth, and whoever would
take the pains to look into history.
would see that il was in consequence of
the government raising a revenue from
alcoholic liquors. In the year 1900 there
were 1900 retail licenses issued, and in
temperance grew so that it soon came to
pass that we were denominated over the
civilized world as a nation of drunkards.
When the government of Great Britain
encouraged the importation and manu-
facture of alcoholic liquors, retail shops
we're opened, crime was increased and
the prisons were filed. In this country
l00,000.000 gallons were manufactured
annually.
By Mr.. Sherman-Besides the crooked
whisky. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Morrill, (continued) asked what
became of this great quantity 1t was
used by 40,000,O00 people, and by it they
were poisoned. Pauperism, crime, beg
gary, want and death was the result.
Three-fourths of the pauperism was at
tributable directly or indirectly to the
use of Intoxicating liquors. Congress
had the right to inquire into the matter.
The use ofliquor was the gigantic crime
of crimes in this country.
The bill was passed by the Senate on
the 25th; yeas n, nays 20.
