convention!
a week or two ago intelligence was
sent abroad through the country that
tho National Democratic Executive
Committee had determined to call
Convention Of the party, shortly after
the Adjournment of the Cincinnati
Convention, to consider the question Of
Presidential nomination, and other
matters Of like import. Following
this, we have been hoping to sec some
action taken in our own State towards
assembling State Convention for the
p"rposo Of appointing delegates to
the National Convention, but as vet
nothing has been dono having that
end in view.
Tho truth is, VIC arc Mt n loss to
Know who has authority to call n
State Convention. There is now no
/ Democratic organization in the State,
aud in fact no organized opposition to
The n,rty in power. Col. G. II. ST.
D'ntun, Of Charleston, represents this
81 .tn "n tho National Democratic
Executive Committee, and, in our
Opinion, could only suggc,t the pro-
pretty of State Convention, not ac,
An'h"rltativnly il calling it.
, IL" would ike 10 sec this matter
] A"hn,ru and imm"diate action taken
IN regard to K. The sixty thousand
Dom"cratic voters in this State are
cert .inly entitled to u voice in the
National Convention, und we hope
they will be represented by the ablcs,
'n&n in the Safe, lot politicians of
the "Bourbon," or ";mpracticable"
school, but progressive, active men,
who have an eye moie to the welfare
OF IN" State than to mere party afli'
iat;ons.
Tho n&xt National Democrats Con.
ve"'i"n will occupy ii position of ex>
fra'F"'nAry responsibility. 1t will be
CALLED under peculiar circumstances
and it is all important that every
S'a'c ~ the Urion should have a full
d"l' gat'"n in il, p.rticularly ever,
Southern State. Tho result Of its dc.
i'herations may affect the general
condition of 'hc coun,ry for tho uoxl
'""r years, and may bring abon:, b,
q pr udcn' and sagacinus course, the
change of govcrnucnt so desirable at
the i'rcS,nt time. lIcuca the necvs.i.
ty for" Convention representing
every section of our land. Harmony
Is much nceded in tho party, and can
only be effected by an Interchange of
ideas on the part Of th" reprcscuta~
tiyes of the whole Democratic Gle
! ment. "'
We ask other members Of the State

means Of obtaining what we oouside er
so essential, Ii Q. a Convention
