ial dispatch ITO the EVENING JOURNAL

cratic State Central COMMITTEES met in
the hall Of the House here at /. 80 yester-
day. Though the impression was for a
canvass among the members before they
assembled that the date of the state
convention would be either the 90 or the
the 25 of July the members found after
discussing the matter in committee
meeting that there was serious objection
to both dates The first was too early to
suit either the New Castle or Sussex
men and the latter date was too close to
the end Of the National sGuard encamp-
ment Finaely upon motion OF Mr.. Hopes
the 12 Of August was decided on.
After the mutual interchange of views
a subcommittee was appointed to draft
an address to the Democracy OF the state.
