Rooms OF THE STATE DEMOCRATIC
ExETCUIvE COMMITTEE.
Raleigh, N c., March 10, 1892
To the voters of North Carolina:
At meeting of the Democratic
Executive Committee, held in this city
on the I'd inst, it was resolved that the
next State Convention should be held
in the CITY of Raleigh on the 18th day
of May, 1892. at IL o'clock a. m
Tt will devolve on this Convention
to nominate candidates for Gouernor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary OF
State, Attorney General, Auditor
Treasure and Superintendent OF Public
Instruction; to elect four delegates at
large and four alternates to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention to be
held at Chicago June the %. 1892; "a
nominate two candidate for Electors;
at large; and to adopt platform OF
principl IS, and to transact such other
business as may properly come before
it.
Wherever the Congressinal Con
ventions have not been held previous
ly. the delegates to this Convention
from each Congressional District will
choose two delegates and two alternates
to the State convention.
There has been for some time a
firmly rooted idea among the people
that some system should be adopted
by which minorities in the various
counties should have their proportion
ate voice in all State and District
Conventions, and, in Difference to this
fair and inst sentiment, the Commits
tee, while realizing that it had no pow
er to add to or vary the "Plan Of Or
ganization," as adopted by the last
State Convention, and bind the people
to its observance, unanimously recon-
mended to all county Conventions the
following rule, and earnestly requests
that it be observed.
"In all County Conventions in
which delegates shall be selected to
attend any State, Congressional, Ju
dicial or other Convention, vote
shall be taken in accordance with the
plan of organization as to the candi-
dates whose names may be presented
to such County Convention. The
delegates shall be selected from the
friends and supporters of each candi
date voted for in proportion to the
number of votes he shall receive in
such County Convention, and no other
instructions ehall be given. provid-
ed that where only one candidate is
presented and voted for at such Coun-
ty Convention it shall be lawful to
to instruct for such candidate"
1t is urged that all county conven-
tions shall, at the same time they Sc
lect delegates to this convention, elect
a county committee to serve during
the coming campaign. This action is
essential to perfect organization and
enables the Chairman of the State
committee to al once put himself In
such with the county chairman.
All township and county conventions
should be held at such times and
places as will afford 10 each member
of the party an opportunity for full
and fair discussion. II is essential to
success that animosities should not
be engendered and ascension fustered
and no one should be given even the
semblance of an excuse for refusing
to support the Democratic party, The
supremacy Of which is SO necessary to
secure good government and an honest
administration Of public affairs
To devide now is TO turn over the
State to the euemy Let US stand to
gether as in the past and thus perpct
uate the reign Of Anglo-Saxon.
ED. CHAMBERS SMITH, Chairman
B. G. BEcKwITH, Secretary.
