ISM IS DENOUNCED

The state repu blican convention reassem- bled at o'clock yesterday morning and proceeded to the consideration of the resolu- tions read Thursday afternoon and referred to the committee on rules, resolutions and platform.
 As stated in the AGE HERALD yesterday, there were two sets of resolutions intro- duced, one indorsing the democratic ticket and the other advising the republicans to vote as they please between tho demo- cratic and Jeffersonian state tickets, but urging them to vote for republican county tickets wherever there was one in the field.
 There was a lengthy discussion, which lasted until late in the afternoon, but be- fore adiourning the convention adopted the following resolutions:
 Whereas, The republican party of Ala bama, in convention assembled, owing to unfortunate dissensions in the ranks of the party, caused by the ''rule or ruin' spirit of some factions and designing members of the party, deem it not advisable to put a ticket in the field in the coming contest; therefore, be it resolved;
 l. That we reaffirm our loyalty to the republican party and our devotion to it's principles and measures.
 2. That we condemn the nefarious pro- ject of Dr. Moseley and other ambitious and designing (so- called) members of the republican party in trying to turn over to the Kolbites the republics vote of Ala bama. We decline to follow such schemers and time- servers, and denouuce their slimy and snakey plans. We honestly believe that the greatest disaster that could befall the colored people of Alabama would be the election of Captain Kolb to the office of governor.
 B.. That we denounce the scandalous and disgraceful effort of Dr. Moseley, Captain Kolb and others to induce the colored vot- CTS Of A Ia ba fn fran no1 al in many counties in the state by not regis- tering. We hold up to the universal exe- cratlon and contempt of our people the shameful practices of these arch conspira- tors and enemies of the colored race in their diabolIcal attempt to belittle the negro and rob him of right which cost millions ot money and thousands of human lives. Away with such men and their schemes.
 4. That having no ticket of our the field, it becomes necessarX choose between the tickets pp1
 two factions of the democrat
 state, and in making
 act Rs loyal republicans
 tune good citizens, havih( - I - IDl1l best interests Of our beloved state, remem- bering always, however,. that in the su- premacy of the law and the strict enf force- ment Of its orderly observance the colored man finds the surest guarantee of his pres ent good and future progress and useful ness.
 b. While every mem Der of the republi- < can party Is at nDerty 10 choose TOT .nlm- self between tbe two factions Of the demo- cratic party, this convention, believing in the lore going principles and that the more just and equitable administration of the jaws will be obtained under the adminis- tration of Colonel Oates than Captain Kolb, advises republicans to support abdd-yote for him in he coming election.
 6. We denounce the K olb Moseley -Jelter- sonian ombine for their unjust decaras~- tion against the right of the negroes to work in the mines of Alabama or elsewhere as guaranteed to all men by the constitu- tion of the country; and We denounce such an unfriendly effort to deprive the negro of his right to earn s living aud elevate his citizenship by honest toil.
 Delegations were present from forty four of the sixty-six counties of the state and all seemed deeply interested in the political situation in Alabama. The delegates were nearly all colored and were representative of their race.
