1 In publishing tI,is call FOR our
Democratic Convention, the Com.
inltfre was directed to request that
AL North Carnlinians who love
good order and have "a proper re-
gard for The due administration of
Justice, shonld join with us III max
my onr nominations for these high
and responsible judicial offices.
" e call then upon all the true SONS
"f North Carolina tocome together,
insi ired by AN cnn"bling patriotism,
*nG nominate and elect our best and
trne>t and greatest SONS to these e&,.
allied judicial statirns. The officers
So chosen are to sit in judgement
on onr rights of property, our lives,
our liberties. Their court is the
court of last resort. From their
decision there is nG appeal. Let us
! then approach their selection pro
fonndly impressed wiJh the i!nSor-
tancc of tue oct:asiou ; let MS subcr-,
dinatc our persona! preferences, and
animated by q worthy ambition,
seek to restore TO this Supreme tri-
hnnal the exalted character to
which it had attained il tle days of
its highest fame.
We yGcorumcnd 10 our friends in
every township and ward to hold
primary meetings, 1T which dele
ga'es may be selected by ballot or
otherwise to their County Cunvcn-
tions-w where in like manner, dele
gates Shalt re chose:I 20 represent
the counties in the STATE Convention
In these primary meetings we
urgently recommend that the ut
most fairness and impartality shall
be ohscrved-that harmony shall be
considered OF IrIme importance,
and that no practices tending to
,ii7aIr -Utf''iI UI ureor .nI.i1rriutr o''"lI
rcceieve the slightest cuuurenance
or sanction. The Democratic party
is the party OF tie people. 1t is
the instrument by which the people
accomplish their aims and purposes.
1t is the peoplc--banded together
1 in one great organization or socicir
to protect their rights, to advance
their interests, to promote their
prosperity and to pcrpetuaie those
IihrItics which make our country at
once the envy OF oppressed nations
and the crowning glory of mankind
Within this organization the utmost
freedom is allowed largest lib

cy and the neagc3 and practices OF
the part. But harmony must pre-

will of the organization is the will
!, OF the people! When expressed it

Il t"rtitude, g!nrlirg in the triumph
e of the organization even though he

d in particular Go we earnestly en-
% treat that no one shall conntcnanct
Ia an in3cpendent candidate. ''Inde-
II peudcncl" means opposition to tho
n Democratic party. He who resorts
= to Il seeks his own preterment a
: the expense of his friends. He seeks
,c to disintcgrate-to dlsorgauize-t'
Ii destroy. He lends himself as viii
W ling tool 10 fh2 opponents Of hi
le own political associates. He i
IS more urt!ul than an avowed antag
ar pnist because he claims to be f,
tc friend, and retrains from wearing
.e the uniform Of the cneny only tha
a he luay the better accomplish hi
ty selfish purposes. His aim and de
al sire is self-aggrandizrment and b
ne would barter away the rights OF hi
Mt party that he may enjoy the cmolu
he ments of office.
III In conclusion we therefore urg
: that harmony shall preva.f--tfr
p disorganization be discouhtcnancec
ng and that we adhere stcadlastly t
ly the principles and usages of on
ed grand cid Party, whose triumph
in the past give an assurance of sti
'te greater triumphs in the future.
