grace ftom them, and simply shows they
have no knowledge Of the condition of af-
fairs.
We belong 10 the regular organization in
this State, and have advocated in our plat
form of principles, for years past, and which,
have been indorsed by our party in this
county and State time and again, the plat
form which we raise at our mast head to-day.
In contending for these principles it was
necessary tor an organization. That organi-
zation We have upon principles, good and
true-that organization we will stand by,
those principles never DESERT
That the Douglasi,es are in the democratic
organization we deny. How came they so?
How can they claim to be! Is ii not we'll
known that when they attempted At the last
meeting Of our State Central Committee to
anna lgamate, the request was denied and
treated with contempt. Were they not then
and there told that union between Demo.
Gratis and any other party, could only be -ef-
fsc;ed upon principles. That, hack seats in
the synagogue they might take, but leaders
they never could be, and their squatter
sovereignty doctrine nerer indorsed. rt
Yet in the face Of these we'll known facts
the Douglasi'es claim the regular organiza-
tion--the falsiy of the assertion is only
equalled 10y the impudence with which i: is
asserted. The figures show that while their
candidate for Governor (Curry,) only rereiv
ed 81 1902 votes, Latham, The Democratic
candidate received 81 asa and that Scott
and Birch were elected over Baker. and Nc
Kibben the Douglas Republican candidates
for Congress, 10y about 10000 majority.
Aud again, the Democracy of this State
never sent delegates to a Douglas Conven
tion-never snt delegates to REASONABLE
squotter sovereignty republican convention,
but t"a DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CON
VENTION. To a Convention where their
principles could be expressed and their doc
have carried out the wishes Of the Demo
crary of California, let the result tell.
They have assisted in the adoption of
platform, an in it are expressed the senti-
mens Of the Democracy of this State, and
the sentiments Of the organization Of the
democracy of California and the Union.
Well have they acted their part We in
dorse them, and know tha, every true demo
crat will do the same.

In the face Of these facts it comes, as we
