bright outlook for the national Democratic
uckpt, we deeply depi0re the unfortunate
discussions ~ the Democratic ranks in the
State of Virginia.
3. ResoiUed. That in our opinion the
question OF the State debt is foreign TO, and
ought not 10 enter as an issue IN, the ma
tionaI canvass, iuDsmuch Is no principle IN
v0lyed In the debt or any other local issue
can be settled by the election OF President
of the United States or by the election oil
congressman.

persons claiming 10 be Democrats to sup
port the electoral ticket put forth by the

of its delegates as the representatives. OF the
Democratic party Of the State, and by CIV
ing it representation on the National DEM
ocratic Committee.
5. Resolved, To prevent the possibility
Of the Republican party carrying Virginia
when the Democrats have Il majority OF forty
thousand votes, we call upon all voters,
without distinction OF party, who oppose
the election OF the Republican candidates,
to unite in opposition to said ticket, dissen-
sions and ordinations In Democratic ranks
being suicidal to the interests OF Virginia
and the nation.
