"What are some of the planks Y
was asked the gentleman being in
terviewed.
"a full VOTE" he replied, ia fai
count, free schools, the abolition
the poll tax, abolishment of the coz
vict system, and so on. All tn
planks are catchy and will take hrr
hold on the masses. We also Incl
deutally discussed the necessity c
esta blishing an anti-Bourbon orgal
as mouth piece of the new move
mont at Atlanta, the capital. Moth
ing definite was done as to standard
bearer, but the sense of the meeting
was strongly in favor of Hon. VIM
II. FELTON, for Governor. A com
mittee, consisting of one Republican
and one Independent, was appointed
to communicate with leading Iuda'
pendents and Republicans 10 every
county 10 the State, with view to
perfecting State organization. Az
the proper time this committee will
call another conference to select cans
didates to make the race for various
State officers and for Congress, -
Men are to be chosen who will be
agreeable both to the Republicans
and Independent Democrats"
will convention be called !"
"Not of the Independent Demo-
Gratis. But, at the proper time, a
mass meeting of Independents from
all over Georgia will assemble in At
lanta to endorse the candidates sug
gested. Then the Republicans will
bold a convention and decide to sup
port the ticket named"
The conference is the all-absorb"
ing topic of conversation tonight,
being regarded as the first gun of an
importont political battle in Georgia.
A. very significant fact is that tho
conference was Thoroughly attt'eed to
4rthw'S administration, and decid'
eddy inimical to Senator Joe Brown.

UTIvE COMMITTEE, Atlanta, Ga,
January 5, 18S2.-At called meets
ing of the Committee, a special com
mittee of three, consisting OF Hon.
G. d. Forsyth, W. A. Pledger and
R. II. Carter, was appointed to draft
and submit resolutions bearing upon
the contemplated liberal movement
10 Georgia,
The following preamble and reso
lutions we're submitted and unani>
mously adopted
Whereas, The Republicans of this
State have for many years been unN
able to secure the righ'ful results of
their ballots cast 10 general elections;
Whereas, The State administra-
ton has been and now is hostile to
the principles of our party, and det'
rimental to the permanent growth
and prosperity of the State;
Whereas, A certain element not
strictly aligned with either the Re-
publican or Democratic party, has
and published through
one of its lcaders a platform upon
which Republicans may unite withN
out sacrifice of principles and,
Whereas, 1t is believed that by
cooperation that the State Govern
ment may be reformed so as to seN
cure to the citizens, whatever his
past political association may have
been, the full measure of bis legal
and constitutional rights, and tend to
promote the general welfare OF the
State; therefore,
Resolved |. That we consider the
so formulated and publish
ed, as sufficiently broad, liberal and
comprehensive as to justify the hope
that if practically carried out in wise
and liberal measures, their triumph
will rebound to the general good OF
the whole people.
Resolved, That we recommend to
the Republicans Of the State the fa'
vorable consideration of line OF
pulley in the coming campaign for
State officers in cooperation with all
persons who meet US upon the plat
form of principles above referred to,
reserving to themselves their own
preferment whenever they are justly
entitled to the same.
Resolved, That no man, on &C.
count of past political affiliations
alone, or claims to preferment,
should control, but the best man, all
things considered, for the advance
ment of our principles, should be
supported.
Resolved, That the above declsr~
atoms and recommendations are 10
no wise intended to Imply an aban-
donment Of the Republican organizs
ton of this State.

stitute the new Republican State Elk
