mocracy of the Counties sho uld be sub
m1tted to the Convention upon this SUBJ
ject. Therefore, be it "a. I'm
vention that the action of the Executive
Committee is wise and prudent, that
much good will result to the State from
settling the policy of the party, so that
dissensions may be healed and prevent
ed, and that the unity of purpose neces-
sary for success may be attained.
Resolued, That in the opinion of this
Convention and Of the constituency

vention should proceed to the nomina-
