comments on the resolutions adopted by
our convention on the LIST inst, saying

fusion programme. 1t gives in full the
resolution which it CONSTITUTES to mean iu'
sion. The resolution is rs follows:
ResOl,ed, That we invite all good citizens,
without distinction OF party, whether Re
publicans, Conservatives, Greenbackers OF
Democrats, to unite with US IN giving
effect and success to the policy hetein
enunciated, and declare that We are ~
favor Of any coalition upon honoIaoIe
terms to effect these reforms that does NOT
require surrender OF any Of the cardinal
principles Of the Republican party.
The resolution contains nothing IN any
of itself TO which any Republican coulu
take otfense. Read for the first tune " y

proposed fusion, he would never dream,
that the coalition upon honorable terms
meant the silent reputation oil the hn Joy
