men aud we hope they will put them be-
fore the people for election.

taken by the Democratic party in Chca-
go, we, Republicans and Independents,
direct our committee TO call conven-
ton in such manner ns they may deem
expedient, after the Democratic candi
dates have been nominated and not later
than August first, and to take such
iuither action AS may to them seem nee
essary to carry ont the sense OF this |
meeting, with practical effect.
lIallowell offered resolution declar- |
ing that any man who accepted Pres.
Dental nomination from the Democratic |
party thereby forfeited all claim to Re-
publican support. This was received
with hisses aud finally defeated.
Htlowel said he could not vote with
the Democrats.
President Elliot, of Harvard, in
speech secondmg the Fourth resolution,
said 81 must confess it will be only by |
a dispensation OF Providence that the
Democratic party will give us the can
didate we want. Ii we put ON our plat |
form their candidate it will be better for |
them, and perfectly satiafaetory to us.
But political progress is to be at.
timed only by conflict of national par
tie, aul, as rule, two national parties,
therefore hope that out OF this meeting
will grow new party as one was grown
years ago. We want to found new
party in our country, party OF national
principles, one which looks forward to
national triumph"
