THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON.
VENTION

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
We find tho following in the Chicag
I. Times of May 80:
The chairman of tho democratic stat
central committee has called meeting o.
that committee TO take place at Spring
!. field ON the Ash prox. The object of til,
meeting is supposed to DO to amend th,
call for the democratic state convention
so as TO provide for the nomination Of a
state ticket ut the same time that delegat
are chosen to Baltimore. This is in defer.
ence to the request Of the squad of liberal
republicans who mot at Springfield on the
I'D inst, in the capacity seemingly, of a
side show to the radical state convention.
The programme thst was then promul-
gated BY that veteran democrat, Dir. Hor-
ace White, was that the democrats and lib
eral republicans should both hold state
conventions at Springfield on the 26th
prox and should put in nomination a
ticket for state officers, u part of the can
didates to be chosen by each convention.
1t Is not certain whether this programme
will be carried out or not, but it is quite
| certain that, so far as it involves the in
dorsement Of Greeley by the democratic
doubt competent for the state central COM
mittee to amend their call so as to make it
one of the objects Of the convention TO
| nominate candidates for state officers but
| it is quite as competent for the conven-
ton, when it assemblies, to refuse to take
| such action, or, if it decides to nominate u
state ticket to refuse to cooperate with
the liberal republicans.
The Times cannot be coaxed into a
good humor and persists in being UNI
happy. But why should it, as it does,
therefore follow that the Times should
persist in being untru.hful and unfair
If our amiable contemporary, who is
crashing his teeth ut the other end Of the
State, had endeavored to ascertain the
truth and had done so, and then had not
refused to tell it, the charge would not
have been made, that the chairman Of the
Democratic committee of the State called
| = meeting Of his committee ain Difference
to the request Of the squad of Liberal
Republicans who met at Springfield on
'the 22d inst" The fac, is, the call has
been made in Difference to the request of 9
meeting Of Democrats, and in the mem
bership Of that meeting, Mr.. Storey, if b,
had been present, would have recognized
j. &. Allen, Samuel A. Buckmaster, VIM.
NJ. Morrison, John A. McClernand, d
Cameron, Judge Edmunds, Alexander
Siarne, Chas II. Lanpher, and at leas
fifty other well-known and highly es
teemed Democrats of Illinois. In tina
l meeting were fvo members Of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee. S
