ROoM9 OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
EXECUTIVE Committee,
RALEIGH, \. &.
10 the Democratic Voters Of
North Carolina ::
Alta meeting Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, held
I'm this city on the 10th inst, it
was resolved that the Democrat
ic State Convention he held in
the city of Raleigh on Wednes-
day, the goth day Of August,
1890.
1t will devolve Oh this conven-
ton to nominate for vacancies
now filed by appointment of
the Governor, a chief justice
and one associate justice of the
Superior Court for the first,
fourth, fifth, eighth and tenth
districts; also, judges of the
Superior Court for the second,
sixth, seventh and eleventh dis
tricts to succeed the present in
cumbents whose terms expire
The convention is called to
meet later than in 1888, to suit
the convenience Of the great
masses of Democratic voters, so
that a fuller representation, re-
tlecting a more general senti-
nent, may be insured.
The Democratic party con
graduates the people of the
State upon the material and
moral advancement made under
the beneficent admins. ration of
affairs, and. having redeemed its
pledges i'll the past, presents its
claims to them for a continuance
of that confidence to which it is
justly entitled, feeling assured
that they will be recognized and
the interests of all classes thus
subserved.
The term for which Hon. Zeb-
ulon B. Vance has been elected
to the Senate of the United
States will expire next Ma rch
and the LEGISLATURE to be chosen
this year will be called upon to
fill it. It behnoves us to see to
it that no Republican is elected
to the Senate from this State.
The committee most earnestly
rt quests thorough early organ
izatiOn in every township and
l cal1ty i'll the State. 1t is es
sential that this preliInina ry
work shall be done at once, SC
that we may be ready for al
active, energetic campaign as
soon as the convention adjOurns
1t will not do to assume that Oul
opponents, because they are
inactive now, have no life. They
can organize with celebrity anG
stand ready to take advanta q
of any apparent lethargy on onl
part, and if We wish to proven
opposition, we must demon
strate by our organization ant
strength, it's futility.
In 1892 our confidence am
apathy nearly resulted in til,
loss Of the State aud again il
1886, from the same causes tn
control of the House of Repre-
sentatives Of the State was los
to the Democrats and given t
our opponents. Such a resul
I must be carefully guarde
J against this year.
1t is important that the var
Gus county conventions be Gale
at such times as will best sui
: the masses of the party to til
end that a full and free chOic
j. of candidates for the Offices ma
be had and no discomfort be Ell
gendered.
The Republican garry of tt
day is the same as in the dar
