EcUTIvE COMMITTEE, No. 22S
FAYETTEvILsE STREET.
RALEIGH, N. c., March 10, '92
To THE VOTERS OF NORTH
CAROLINA AT a meeting of
the State Democratic Executive
Committee held in this city on
the End 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.
1t will devolve on this Con-
vention to nominate candidates
for Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Secretary of State, Treas
urer, Auditor, Attorney Gensr-
eral and Superintendent ef Pub
lie Instruction, to elect four
delegates at large and four al
ternates to the National Demo-
cratic Convention to be held at
Chicago, June 22nd, 1899, to
nominate two candidates for
electors-at-large; to adopt a
platform Of principles and to
transact such other business as
may properly come before it.
In all cases where the Con-
gressional Conventions have
not been held previously the
delegates to this convention
from each Congressional Dis
trict will choose two delegates
and two alternates to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention
and report their names to the
Slate 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 proportionate voice
in all State and District conven-
tions, and, in defersnce to the
fair and just sentiment, the
committee, while realizing that
il had no power to add to or
vary the "Plan of o Organization"
as adopted by the last State con-
yention and bind the people to
its observance, unanimously re-
commended to all county con-
ventions the following rule, and
earnestly requests that it be
observed, viz: ''In all county
conventions in which delegates
shall be selected to attend any
State, Congressional, judicial
or other convention a vote shall
be taken in accordance with the
plan of organization as to the
candidates whose names may
be presented to such Co. con.
yeltion. The delegates shall
be selected from the friends and
supporters Of each candidate
voted for in proportion 10 the
number of votes he shall receive
in such county convention, and
no other instructions shall be
given; provided, that where only
one candidate is presented and
voted for at such county con
vention it shall be lawful to in
struct for such candidate"
II is urged that all county
conventions shall, at the same
time they select delegates tC
this convention, elect a county
executive committee to serve
during the coming campaign
THIS action is essential to per,
feet organization and enables
the chairman Of the State com
mittee to at once put himself in
touch with the county chair
man.
All township and county con,
ventions should be held at such
times and places as will afford
to each member of the party an
opportunity for full and lair dis
cussion. 1t is essential to sue.

be engendered or dissensions
fostered, and no one should be
given even the semblance Of an
excuse for refusing TO support

and an honest administration Of

uate the rule of the Anglo-Sax-
