The usual time for holding the Democratic
State Gonventon, (the sth of January ) is near at
hand, but we have, as yet, ne call for it. 1t
is certainly tims for the Democracy to begin to
act. fhe Convention is certainly an important
one, not only as concerns the officers to be nom
mated, but also as respects the principles to be
set forth in the platform of the party. We have
seen, in the past few years, the principles advanc-
ed by the Democracy nobly sustained by the peo-
pie, and adopted as the policy of the State It's
now time for the party of progress to take further
steps in advance, and to clearly set forth the meas
dfes for which they are cohtending. The Con-
vention will have Governor, Lieut. Governors
Supreme Judge, Member of the Board of Public
Works, Secretary of State, Treasurer of State,
and Attorney General, to nominate. 1t is high
time for the people to begin to act in regard to
these matters.
