caji eaiuly be made. All that is needed is
a few more ribs on the bow, and then the
iron plates of the hull will be riveted on.

Th aime being one for each 200 votes,
and fraction over 100 cast for Hon. J.
S. Smith at the last geaefaJ fcJection, and
one delegate at large frcrc each county.
We also, recommend that the new coun
ties of Crook and Kalmath send one
delegate at large each to represent them
in the Convention, and that the number
of delegates allotted to" the counties of
Wasco and Lrke, from which these eouu
ties were formed, be apportioned be
tween the aid counties and the nw.
The Committee recommend that the
primaries be held on Api il f, and the
County Convention on April 11; subject
however, to the approval of the various
County Committees. . '. -
The committee deem it fitting to pre
sent to the Democratic voters of the
State the following considerations:
We see approaching nn election of
most vital import to our commonwealth
in nil its interests, both public and pri
vate. Deeming honesty the best policy, and
in striking conjlftvt with the course of
the opposing p?.rty, we have named an
early day for the assembling of the State
Convention. Our principles as a party
will then be enunciated 'and our candi
dates placed iii the field subject to tho
approval or condemnation of thb body
politic.
The variance in the vote of this State
d unrig the past few years, and .especially
the very close content lq the Presidential
election of 1880, gives us (much hope
that, notwithstanding our present mi
nority, with harmony in our ranks, and
a well directed exertion of our strength,
we shall carry of! the palm of victory,
But to assur this cud it is imperative that
all Democrats shoald contribute their un
divided support and hearty co-operation,
not only in the actual canvas; J.-f t Jftom
its very initiation ch county primaries.
We do not presume, to trespass upon the
piovince of our popular Convention, but
do earnestly invoke all members of our
party to put aside past differences and
personal antagonisms, to unite in har
monious action in the various primaries,
and to send full delegations of represen
tative men to attend the State Conven
tion. We have deemed it fitting to
.reduce the number of delegates in the
j hope of securing tin personal attend
ance of those to be chosen. We es
pecially recommeiut . the formation of lo
cal clubs, where practicable, throughout
the H'tarc.
Believing that the success of theDe
mocracy is the welfare of the people, we
cordially invite a' 1-persons, regardless of
past political affiliatioris, who favor sim
plicity, economy and frugality in the ad
ministration of public affairs, to unite
with us
