Democratic State Convention

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

The Democratic State Convention, to appoint delegates to the Democratic National Convention, to nominate candidates for President and Vice-President, and to select a State Central Committee, will be held at East Saginaw, on Tuesday, the 8th day of June next, at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. The question “whether it be desirable to continue the two-thirds rule longer in force in National Conventions,” will likewise come before said Convention, the last National Convention having desired the State convention to instruct delegates to the Convention of 1880 in regard to it.

Each County will be entitled to six delegates for each Representative to which, under the last apportionment, it is entitled in the lower branch of the State Legislature—but each organized county will be entitled to at least two delegates. No county, except those of the Upper Peninsula, will be entitled to be represented by delegates not residents of such county.

All citizens of the State, irrespective of party political associations or differences, who can unite with us in an effort for pure, economical, and constitutional government, and the preservation of free republican institutions, are cordially invited to join in sending delegates to this Convention.

O. M. BARNES, Chairman
WILLIAM BRODIE, Secretary
