CHAMBER OF THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CONSERVATIVE PARTY,
RALEIGH, Feb ,, 1872.
At recent meeting of the Democratic /
Conservative members Of the Legislature, |
the present State Executive Committee of
the Democratic Conservative party were by
resolution continued until the meeting OF
the State Convention Of that party, and the !
Hon. ID. M. Bauinger was appointed in
the place of the late Gov. Bragg.
The State Convention will be held i'll the
town of Greensboro, on Wednesday the
first day of May next.
That Convention will be charged with
high duties in the selection of a candidate
for Governor, Attorney General, Treasurer,
Auditor, Secretary of State, Superinten-
dent of Education and Superintendent of
Public Works,as also in declaring the princi-
pies and policy both State and Federal OF
the party, and providing for efficient organi-
cation in the approaching campaign.
1t is therefore very desirable and nnrOr-
tant, that every county in the State shall
be represented in that Convention, and it
IS CO4lIl0ntly uOIpcu IlldI our
will take immediate and efficient steps TO
secure such representation.
To that end, the Central Executive Com
mittee are instructed to suggest that county
| popular meetings composed of all persons
| opposed to rGdicdlis,n, misrttte and f,u6ttc
| Extravaganza, be called in each county OF
| the State, as soon as practicable, to appoint
delegates to the Convention and devise
ways and means to secure their atten-
dance.
In order to avoid failure of representa-
ton, let each county meeting appoint one
or more proxies, who will certainly attend
the Convention.
In the meantime, every one opposed to
radical misrule, without regard to past po-
litical differences, is expected and cordially
invited to raise his voice and exert himself
to inform the public mind, and prepare the
people to stand together i'll the noble and
patriotic struggle to uphold, maintain and
administer honestly and faithfully the prill-
cipleS Of free constitutional government.
The most effective means Of informing
the public mind is the Press. How impor-
tant therefore that it shall be properly and
thoroughly directed. We feel the strong
est assurances that those who conduct the
Democratic Conservative press, will be ac-
tive and faithful in placing before the poo
pie such arguments and information as may
be at their command, and we respectfully
urge our friends to be active i'll extending
, the circulation Of our newspapers as grand
help to success.
The Committee is instructed to submit
and suggest the annexed plan of nrganiZa
| ton.
A copy of the proceedings Of county
meet gs, appointing delegates to the State
, Convention. should be sent to this Com
mttee.
