at Anna Oh the evening OF September 9Th,
l.7G, TO consider the petitions for q new
convention. As is well known to you, a
considerable dissatisfaction exists with re-
gard TO the action of the Jonesboro conven-
| ton. II this dissatisfaction was confined TO
| few individuals only, We should have dis
| regarded ii, but the petitions have been
signed by u sufficient number Of Democrats
to demand, in our judgment, some action
on our part to restore harmony to the par
ty. We have acted sngly with an eye to
the good Of the par y, and the plan upon
which we have decided, we believe to be
one which every Democrat in the district
should heartily endorse as fair solution of
all d difficulties, and ore which should restore
unity of action to the party.
There being y vacancy ON the ticket,
caused by the withdrawal Of Mr.. Oberly a.
candidate for representative, a majority of
your committee decided 10 call a new con-
vention TO fill the vacancy, recomme ding
TO the committee of the several counties,
through their chairman, that such action
be taken wi h regard to the nomination Of

the wishes OF a ma jority OF the Democracy
If it shall be determined by the convention
that the best interests OF the party demand
. ne W ticket, then let the convention nom
mate one but if on the other hand, it sball
be declared that the interests of the party
Will be best subseryed by the ticket re % aim
ing as it Is, then let the convention refuse to
take any action with regard to the present
nominees. We have accordingly notified
each chairman of the several county cen.
trail committees to cal conventions In their
respective counties to nominate delegates
to the general convention named to be held
at the court house IN Jonesboro, on the 18th
day of September, 1876, at 2 O'Clock p. m.
In consideration of the action OF the
committee, and that all trouble between
the supporters and enemies of Messrs.

settled, Mr.. W. IL. Morris, chairman OF
