Show Blue Grass Kcpnblicnns. i Louisiana, IS. The state republican republi-can convention was held here to-day . The resolutions adopted were of the usual character. The following was read with great applause: As Kentucky gave Abraham Lin- ; coin to his country and to mankind, for the great works by him, Bhe now presents Benjamin D; liristow to complete the correction of ills ever incident to war. His past conduct in office is the truest evidence ol his luture course. Ho has been true to republican principles in war and peace, ever manly, calm and courageous, and faithful to the discharge dis-charge of his duly. His persistent and successful warfare against corruption, deserves the thanks of all iriends of honest government. In thus presenting pre-senting and commending our fellow citizen to the republican national convention, we are not unmindful of the distinguished services and worth of other republicans. We trust the Cincinnati convention will present as candidates such men whose allegiance to the party has been proved, and who will hare tho moral courage to enior'ce the law. |
