"Republican electors in the several states and territories, and voters with out regard to past political affiliations, who believe in republican principles and indorse the republican policy, are cordi ally invited to unite under this call in the formation of a new ticket. Each state will be entitled to four delegates-at-large, and for each' representative in congrees-at-lafge two delegates, and for each congressional district, each terri tory, and the District of Columbia, two delegates, . "Delegates-at-large shall be chosen by popular state conventions, called not less than 20 days after this published notice, and not less than SO days before the meeting of the national convention Congressional district delegates shall be chosen at the conventions called by the congressional committee of each district, in the same manner as the nomination of the representative in congress is made in said district; that in any congression al district where there is no republican congressional committee the republican state committee shall appoint from the residents of such district a committee for the purpose of calling a district con vention to elect district delegates.

An alternate delegate for each delegate to the national convention to act in case of the absence of a delegate, shall be elected in. the same manner and at the same time as the delegate is elerted.

MORTON A CASPIDATE. He Will Accept the Honors Tendered to Illm al Saratoga. New Yobk, Dec. 15. The Morning Advertiser will tomorrow say that Levi P. Morton is an avowed candidate for the presidency. The Advertiser is able to make this announcement on what may be termed the. best authority. During the present week a distingushed party leader told an Advertiser reporter that the governor may . conclude to take his friends, into his confidence and de clare to them how he feels about 1896. :. A leader who saw the governor Thurs day last came back with a pretty , good conviction that Mr. Morton does not propose to toss away the honor offered him at the last Saratoga convention, and that, while he does not propose per sonally to exert himself, he will "be pleaeed to have the New York delega tion stand as finn y for his nomination at St. Louis as did the famous 306 for Grant. Continuing, the Morning Advertiser says : . . "The Advertiser possesses other infor mation which has to do -with the forma tion of a most powerful combination, which, when occasion requires it, is in tended ti be swung to the support of either Morton, Reed or Allison. v In Favor ofLait Chinee. . Boisk, Idaho, Dec. 14, Judge Beatty, in court today, rendered a decision in the celebrated mining case of Tyler vs. the Last Chance Mining Company, which has twice been to the court of ap peals and once to the United States su preme court. The decision is in the favor of tha Last Chance. The Atlanta Congress on Africa. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 14. Governor At kinson, in his address before the con gress on Africa, said, in referring to the interest of the negroes in the conversion and salvation of the Dark Continent, that it remained for each to decide for himself whether he would go or re main. "You are free citizens of this republic. If you care to stay, the choice is yours ; if you think best to cast your lot among the people of your old country, none may say you nay. So long as I have been a voice in the affairs of Georgia I shall do my utmost to see that the colored man has his rlghrs." The object of this congress is to give the relation to the civilization and le demption of Africa. The African ex plorer and linguist, Hell Chatelaine, J. M. Smythe, ex minister to Liberia, and Dr. Alexander Crumell, of Washington, author of the "Future of Africa," were among the other speakers. - No more BOILS, no more PIMPLES Use Kinersly's Iron Tonic. .-, The Snipes Kinersly Drug Co.
