The effectiveness Of the nesting OF
Democrats held In Willard salisbury,
Jr's., law ofice. "Wednesday evening, was
largely destroyed by It's one-man char.
acter and privacy. The object was good
but improperly carried out. In the first
place, Mr.. Salisbury sent out pereonal
Invitations as though parii
san or non partisan Constitutions!
Convention were a matter In which he
was solely interested. Ia the second
place, he designated bis own office as the
place Of nesting, thereby placing him
self In the position OF host and thoze
whom he had invited in tho position Of
guests. In the third place, after ho had
promulgated his plan and secured the
endorsement Of a majority Of those
present, he invited his guests to an
upper room where there was a little ban
qust prepared for them at the expense OF
their host.
The Democratic party cannot bs bound
by any auch meeting As that, and the
Republican party will be extremely
foolish to reoognlzs it az the official
action Of the Democratic party.
We have g Democratic County Exscu
tive Committee which is a representative
body and delegated by the Democratic
party to express It's Views and watch
over its political interests between
elections Ths Republicans have a similar
body. These ars the organizations which
must, first sevsrally and then jointly, do.
eide upon the constitution Of tho delegate
ticket. II outsiders are to be called In to
help them, then it should not be at
secret meeting called By one
man, who has always had q penchant
for using other mems thunder for his own
political credit. We have searched the
proceedings of the last State Convention; /;
have inquired concerning the proceedings
of the State Central Committee and
County Executive Committee. aud no

otherwise, appointed committee Of one

We are IN sympathy with this non.
