ton. and heartily fsvors Hayes snd
Wheeler. The address says i, is the
logical result Of the liberal movement;
those who still adhere TO it should at
this time cordially support Hayes and
Wheeler. II is more decided than the
platform upon which he stands. Hayes
has personally declared for civil scr
vice reform, for return 10 specie pay

the rule Of one term only for the Presi-
dency, the latter principle being
found ouly in the Liberal Republican
platform The characters Of the nomi-

TESS II the Liberals in 1872 sustained
Horace Greeley. who was the foremost
Republican of his day. because be was
an unselfsh patriot and an honest man,
they must now sustain Gov. Hayes for
the same reason. and TO do otherwis
would be inconsistent action. The OPP
position Of the Liberals has never been
against the Republican party. of which
they iyn-d n part, but rather against
those who unfortunately for it and the
nation had control Of its destiny to its
discredit. The good results gained by
the Inauguration Of the Liberal move
ment of 1872. is matter Of congratu-
lation. 1t was then that the demand
for reform against existing abuses was
first made by those who had before
acted within the Republican lines.
Subsequent events have more than con-
firmcd the warnings Of Liberals then
given, and have indicated that by their
efforts, then made for national reform
and firmly maintaining them for the
past four years. they have seen indie
pendent voters of all parties adopt
their views and at the eleventh hour they
have seen the Republican party in con-
vention act in entire harmony with the
demands Of the Liberals, and disregard
ing machine politicians, so called, place
in nomination men whose great dis
tinction is that they ara thoroughly
honest as we'll as capable. The con
se;a.eo Of the nation. which, rising
above party. rsvolted against the re-
form organization Of 1872, must now
endorse this action. The Liberal move
ment will be remembered As al evil
dence that when the hour demands it,
its people are capable Of making party
managers subservient 10 their will.
Their protest in defiance Of party dis
cipline rs originally made at Cincinnati
in 1872. is proof that citizens remain
faithful to an honest discharge Of their
political duties. though party leaders
| become corrupt. 1t only remains for me
to declare. by virtue of tho author
ity given me Is above. that. the Liberal
Republicans Of the United States,
through thoir national committee,
approve the nominees of the Republican
party, wherefore a call for Liberal
convention, TO be held at Philadelphia
on the 26th day Of July 1876. is
annulled.
