NEW YORK, July 2I.-Ethan Allen, chair
man OF the national liberal republican COM
mittee, has issued an address To the liberal
republicans, annulling the cali for q nation
al convention to be held July 26, at Philadel-
phla, and supporting the Cincinnati ticke
Mr.. Allen cites q resolution adopted at a
meeting OF the national committee OF lib
erals held here last May, at which time the
call for the convention was issued, which
says; "That II, after the republican and the
democratic conventions have been held
In June next, one or both OF these parties
shall seem, In the Judgment OF our chairman,
Mr.. Ethan Allen, 10 have responded To the
principles and aims OF the liberal republican
organization, both In measures and men,
In that event our chairman is hereby
authorized, after the conference with the
committee, by proclamation 10 annul the
call FOR a national convention this day
ordered, but after said conventions and their
action being unfavorable to reform, our
chairman Is empowered TO take such action
In furthering the cali for a liberal conven-
uon lhls day ordered as he may deem neces-
sary. Mr.. Allen then says the republican
and the democratic conventions have both
been held, and as commanded In the above
resolution, have since conferred by CORES .
pondence with the members OF the nationaI
liberal committee, and the response which
is In entire harmony with my own views is
almost unanimous 10 annul the call for the
liberal national convention above referred
10, and TO approve in the name OF the Ii beral
republicans OF the u. s. OF the Nomination
OF Rutherford B: Hayes, OF Ohio, for PresI-
cent, and OF William A. Wheeler, of New
York, for Vice President. Mr.. Aliens az
dress says: "lf the liberals in 1872 sustained
Horace Greeley, who was the foremost re.
Pnbilcan or his day, because he was an un-
selfish patriot and an honest man, they must
now sustain Gen. Hayes for the same rea
sons, and TO do otherwise would be incon-
slstent action. The opposition OF the liberals
mas never been against the republican party,
OF which they formed a part, but rather
against those who, unfortunately for the ma.
ton, have bad control OF its destiny TO its
dlscredit." he reviews the course of the
liberals, and concludes by annalling the call
for national convention at PHILADELPHIA,
