 After retiring aad aaturely delibe.aliag, ,iIe Committee returned and reported the fol- i lowing Preamble and Resolutions:
 Whereas, i! is well known that the Demo- cratic party have largely inc ascenaaacy in :hls StaJe; and as t is not probable, under the circumstances, yliat the Wings will make any effort to bring candidate of theif own par 1 ty into the contest for Representative or 5en- ator to the Congress ol the United States, dis affection ii the Democratic party, by selfish and designing men, may consequently be eX- pectel, h the States of NIabana and feaHes- see, tire disorgaaizess, by combination with tiie Wings, have succeeded beyond e%pecta- ton. This will have great tendency to en- courage the disaliaetien which has existed j for some time in this State--It is therefore, l all important. tat the Democratic parry i should consul. bs Conventions, and ali o,h- ef weys PassioIe1 as to the best means of se- curing success to .aeif bong cherished pgnci- ] pies.
 l l. has sometimes happened that, hy com 1 huation ef the d'se.eanizes of the dominant ! party, with the parry II the minority, that ftti.i lioas, and thereby lbe Democracy hafs been defeated
 i This combination aot only defeats t!5e sill of the people; bot has tendency to promote set oi men unworthy ot promotion ia free 1 goyernment-an event to be deplorad by all l lovers Of #eiyil ii5egte.
 The dzaiiectioA Whi5 now exists Fl the Democratic parry al hls State Is Of no recent date; il is HOW only newly stimulated bv auc- ce=s abroad f etiAed niih iAe saaae ssi of 0isns b aa n7ar@iag c9teA, in Lte F4li Of ., ald ~ ftc Spring ef l8i}-it e6isted and w8s iG fujl operation, aabcH tts aHfB 5e@- 1cIaiie Press i,t iae .ttatc icas frtHf.rred l3 l He 5#es. and ea eFaH jhfebg #e3g 10 'raAff a4efarj #, 8a .etete Democratic tif- iy. Butthe Legislature ,hen being ia session, I the Democratic portion thereof met m couu- ciIaud soiemnIy protested against being t,ans- leFea to the Wings.
 They then concluded to establish, and did establish, al the Citg Of Litile Rock, a print ing press for the better organization Of the Deaoef9tie parry, and to maintain qasaIliod tue great principles of Democracy.
 Reorganization was ihen exhibited to the whole people in is true colors, by that press; aud the principles Of Democracy exhibited in such q Pe.sPieaoas aad forcible manner, that Reorganization hid her delormed hoad for a time,
 The paper then established was called the "ArAaasas Banaero Under thai Banner we : have fought and WeH one glorious victory. That press is stilI iu fIti operation, under ;te sHPef.HenJeaee oi General SoLog BoR- LAND. The same lailbul sentinel on the watch tower of Democracy, he has for years welded his pen ill her cause, whether in prosperity or adyefsiiy. He las an eye that never wiaks al, and aa exertion that never tries ln sHPpressiag Reorganization.
 Under that Banner let Us once more rally, and call to our aid, from all parts of the Stele, the lovers of common justice and equal rights those who love Democracy for her prin- I ciples alone.
 DEMOCRACY is as broad as equal rights as deep as the channel of TtuJh-as high as human wisdom can attain The pillows of , dlsaaeetioR may fise-tho clouds of disor- ganiza.lon may lower and threaten; but the Temple of Democracy, standing upon the rock oI common iusticeand equal rights. hids defiance to them all. Those swellinewaves,
 ceming with corruption, will break into pow erlcss nipples at inc aaamantinc base of the peoples power; and fiose threatening clouds will vanish into thin air, or descend in harm less mists, dissolved by the glorious sunlight oi Truth ami the peoples will. That noble Temple standing erect, and towering high, with her Pillars-the eternal principles of Democracy and still guarded by the true hear!s and strong arms ot the people r -lAe acme oi human wisdom, and the safe beacon light to guide the human family into the harbor of political happiness.
 We believe that the faithful sentihels and soldiers, who have so long and so vigiiantly guarded the sacred Temple of Democracy are threatened With betrayal; into the hands of the enemy, fora time. Democrats, to the rescue i-to the reseue!i Ana whereas Conventions are one means of giving warning to the faithful. and Con- vention having been proFosed to be held on the 8ih of January 1916, at the City of Llue Rock, for the purposed of producing harmo- [ ny of sentiment, and concert of action, and nominating suitable person to represent the Stale in Congress, ,-Therelore-
