The Republican ana the Democratic Conventions nave
both been ncld AMI, commanded in the above rcsou
don have sace conferred, correspondence, with the
members Of the National Liberal Committee, and the re-
Spouse, which IS in entire harmony with my own views
is almost unanimous 10 aHnu The call FOR the Liberal
National Convention above referred to- and To approve
in the name of the Liberal Republicans OF the United
states of the nominations OF Rutherford b. Hayes of
OHio for President and OF William A. Wheeler OF New
Yolk for Vicc-Prcsident.
IL is a lOyical result of the Liberal movement that
those who still adhere to i, should ut this tne cordially
support Hayes and Wheeler. More decided than the
platform upon which he stands, Gen. Hayes has person
ally declared for civil service reform, for tie return to
specie payment at the eares possible day ana Tor me
rule of one term only the PIcsdencyhe latter prin
ciple being found only in tho Liberal Republican plat
form The characters OF the nominees guarantee the
principles they profess. II tie Liberals in 1872 suS
tanned Horace Greeley, who was the foremost Republican
of his day, because he unscliish patriot and an
honest man, they must now sustain Cen Hayes Tor the
same reasons ana do otherwise would DO inconsistent
action The opposition of the Liberals has never been
against the Republican party of which they formed
part but rather against those who unfortunately for
and for tie nation have had control Of s destiny 10 its
discredit.
The good results which have been gained by the naugu
ration of the Liberal movement OF 1872 matters Of
at he re-
was made against existing abuses by those VINO had be
fore acted within the Republican lines Subsequent
events have than confirmed the warnings OF the
Liberals given and have vindcated Their efforts
then made for national reform. Firmly maintaining
the past four they have seen the
independent voter OF all rites adopt their views and
at the eleventh hour they have seen the Republican
party in convention assembled, entire harmony with
the demands OF the Liberals dsregardng the "maclne
politicians called, place in nomination men whose
great distinction is that they thoroughly honest
well as capable The conscience Of the nation which,
rising above party revolt.d against the Republican or
ganzaon in 1872, must now ndOrsc this action
The Liberal movement viii no remembered as an evil
deuce that when the honr demands it, tine people are
capable of making party managers subservien to their
will The protest. in defiance party discipline origin
ally made at Cincinnati in 1872 is proof that the c
zen remains faithful to an honest discharge of his po
zeal duties, though party leaders become corrupt
II only remains FOR 10 declare by virtue or the au
hority given above, that the Liberal Republicans
Of the United ates, through their National Committee
approving the nominees OF the Republican party, the
"cal for s"Natoual Convention OF Liberal Repubi-
cans" TO be held at Philadelphia on the 2Gth day OF
July, 1876. is annuled ETHAN ALLEN,
