BHHmitic Convention of tbc State, to be
t approcd, mo lifted or rejected by said 8
Demtrr.Uic Convention. 8'
In fursnnnco of (bis sail, in its entirety, '
it is t? be presumed, tbc Executive Com I'
' mittceof the County Association, through "
i its Chiirinan, has issued a call for a meet- c
ing next Monday, to elect delegates to tho "
State Convention of the'JTth. a
This is the status of the case. Hut what
I do wo find proposed l?y a certain element ?
, Why, they say, we will answer this call, but
, with the tacit and even the avowed purpose S
of defeating its object. That is to say, in
so many words unexpre-sod; "we do not 1
know how otherwise to defeat these who f
liavo openly avowed their opposition to the
present expensive and aristocratic tendency
of legislation, so ws will pretend that we '
7 arc with them, nud go in and take possession [

It appears to this writer that those who
do not favor the purposes of the propose i
convention will stay away from tho whole
thing and fight it squarely and inan'y, either
i- at or before the St its Democratic Convention.
c They will not answer an invitation to a we lding
and after grttiug there goto work to
overturn the welding supper.
e By the way, .Mr. I'Mitar, will you do me
