To the Democratic Conservative Voters o
Mississippi:
An election formembers of con
grcss will be held in November
Within a few days from this date
all the nominations will have beer
made by Your party in conventions
regularly assembled, and your can
didatcs will be III the field. 1t Is
earnestly recommended that the
Importance OF the election be not
overlooked, and that proper meas
ures be taken to secure the success
of the nominees over all opposition,
in whatever form it may come. 10
this end, the beat clubs should be
called together by their chairmen
under summons from the chairmen
OF the County Executive commit
tees, and re-organizGd. When thus
re.organized, they should ratily Il
resolution, the same in eilectas that
adopted by the State convention OF
August /, 1877, a $ follows:
RcSoired, That unity and harmony are
essential to victory that all independent
movements are dangerous to the integrity
Of party organization that all %iudcpemd-
ent candidates are inspired solely by Il lust
for office that they shall be treated as
common enemies tothcwelfarr Of the pco-
pie, and the avowcd enemies OF the demo
cIatic-conscryatiyo party Of the state Of
Mississippi,
The convention or caucus system
is an indispensable uSuage Of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS party.
Without it there could be no regu-
larity of proceeding, or concert Of
action. lie who setsa diiance the
decision Of these asSemblagrs,
make war upon thcaccepted means
of CARRYING its measures into effect,
and is an enemy OF the party the
same as if he openly denounced IT'S
principles ana objects. There is
strength in organization and unity.
There is defeat in division, IT
would be suicidal for tile party in
Mississippi to permit it's orgamiza,
fjon to be- weakened. and it's disri.
