lutions, and announced that he could
not accept or reject the plan, until
his committee had taken action on
the matter, witch it will do before
many DAYS.
Ont OF courtesy, however, the In |
candidates, Messrs Stew
art. Duff, tlerrick, and Junkin, ad- |
dressed a letter to the candidates
Beaver, Rawle, Davies, Greer and
Brosius. They are desirous of
party unity, and are anxious to CO.
operate, to restore peace and har-
nony to the Republican party, but |
they do not believe that any of the
propositions if accepted, VIII produce
harmony in the party, but on the
contrary would lead to wider diris-
ions. To 60 before the people with
both tickets would be to divide the
party on the tickets. They are pre- !
pared to yield all personal considera-
ton, and aCiihdratO both tickets, and
Wedge Themselves not 10 accept any sub
Sequent nomination By the proposed new
ronrentton and they hope that the
Beaver ticket will approvs and accept
their proposal Of withdrawal.
Colone! Willis.i,n mcSIichaei did
nc !.c. ,vln in the proposal to withdraw
both tickets and nominate new tick
ct of newmen. He rejects the Coop
er Beaver proposals, because it is
plain proposal to re-nominate Beaver
and re-atfirm the abuses that called
the Independent movement into be-
ing. He declares that the Independ-
ent ticket was called into being, as a
against ''bossisln, the
spoils system, and all the evils which
impair Republican usefulness i
IN favor of popular rule,
equal rights OF al, national unity,
of the public credIt,
protection to labor and ali the plin-
cipies OF truo Repubhcanism. lie
declares, ''that no other ticket now
III the field presents those issues.
Snch is the situation that the
Committee meeting brought forth.
