through defeat and success. and who glory
in the name and fame of the Democratic
party, and who, when the State was under
going one Of the most distressing ordeals
ever known to American people, risked our
lives and all that We hold dear in the service
| of Democracy, now realizing the fact that
there is difference Of opinion among US as
De locrats; and whereas, We do not desire
to appear unjust or unfair to our brother
Democrats who honestly differ from us
upon certain men and measures; and
whereas, our county executive committee
did not state specifically in their call for the
convention, in which we are now assembled,
that delegates should be elected to the Sep
tember convention; and whereas, under the

ing delegates to the September convention,
might be 4 debatable question, and rs true
and loyal Democrats and firm believers in
the doctrine of white mans supremacy, we
deem it best for the harmonious contiuu-
ance of the party, to only adopt such meas
ures as will admit of no doubt rs being in
conformity to the constitution Of the Demo-
