RALEIGH, n. G., April 1G.-The State
Democratic Executive Committee met here
to-day. There was large attendance, all
the districts being represented. Chairman
Octayius Coke rendered his resignation,
which was accepted, and Richard ii. Bat
tie, OF Raleigh, was chosen chairman. A
State Convention was called for June 25th,
at Raleigh. Resolutions were adopted IA
voring a plank in the national platform adj
vocating the abolition OF the internal-rev-
enue system as onerOuS and oppressive,
and commencing the earnest and faithful
efforts OF the Democratic representatives
from this St9te to secure such repeal. The
resolutions cast a doubt upon the claims
of the Republican and Liberal parties that
they desire the repeal OF the internal-rev-
enue system. The sudden announcement
Of this policy is alleged to be q recognition
OF the validity and justice OF the position
of the Democratic party upon this great
question. The meeting was very harmo-
NOUS. and many speeches were made.
