offered last evening:
WHEREAS, The State Democratic
Conservative Convention which assem-
bled at Mefidian on September II, 1873,
did adjourn without appointing a State
Executive Committee; and
WHEREAS, In order to place our State
in accord with the great conservative
elements of politics and society Of the
nation, that are everywhere rallying un-
der the standard of that party, to whose
success we look for the restoration Of the
right of local self-government in this and
other States, and for the overthrow of
the Radical party, whose administration
of public affairs is fast destroying not
only the material prosperity of the coun-
try, but even its traditions of civil liber-
ty, it is imperatively demanded that the
Democratic party shall be recognized !;
and, whereas that can only be done by
the voice of the Democratic-C Conservative
people in delegate convention assembled.
1. ResOlued, That it is the sense Of this
Democratic Conference that the exigen-
cies of our political situation demand the
reorganization of the Democratic party
in this State by Convention duly assem-
bled, in ample time to perfect a thorough
and efficient organization for the Fall
campaign.
| 2. Resolved, That whilst we have the
utmost confidence in the ability and in
tegrity of the committee appointed by
Democratic members of the Legislature,
we believe that harmony in our ranks is
the first great essential, and that in order
to obtain harmony when said Committee
meets, it should call delegate Conven-
ton at an early date, for the purpose Of
appointing State Executive Committee,
recognizing the party, and nominating
a candidate for State Treasurer.
After very brief discussion the reso-
lutions were adopted with but one dis
senting voice.
Upon motion, the Democratic journals
of Mississippi were respectfully requested
to publish the proceedings of this con-
ference, after which, on motion, it was
adjourned sine die.
w. l.. LOWRY, Chairman.
w. II. RICHARDSON, Secretary.
