A Declaration of Principles Made

sembled at Austin, Juljr 17,
1878.
Hon. D. K. Taylor, President of the Dem-
ocratic State Convention:
We, your committee platform, beg to sub-
mit the following:
Whereas, It is right and proper that the
friends ot constitutional government should
reassert their devotion to it and to proclaim
the principles ujwn which it should be admin-
istered; therefore be it
Resolved, by the Democratic party in
convention assembled, that we have an abid-
ing confidence in the devotion of the National
Democratic party to the correct principles of
government, and we pledge ourselves toco-
of that policy and the restoration of all
the rights they are entitled to npon its ascend
ancy to power.
10. We congratulate the country upon the
restoration of the constitutional and pacific
policy oi local self government in the States
of the South so long advocated by the Demo-
cratic party, and which ha* brought peace
and harmony to our section of the Union.
11. Lpon this platform of principles the
Democratic party, freling that the jwpnlar
heart beats in unison with it, apjwals to every
lover of constitutional government, whatever
may have been bis formeralllliations, and es-
pecially to those who have hitherto acted and
believed with u*. but who now mistakenly
hope for relief from other parties, to unite
with us in our effort* to maintain a jnst and
economic administration of the State irtrvern-
ment, and to recne the administration of the
* ederal government from the hands of the un-
scrupulous part}-which has ruled it for seven-
teen years, and which has hesitated at no
course to perpetuate its unhallowed rule.

' • That at a lime when tiie country was

sweeping change in the measure of value,

A convention of the Democratic party of
Washington county will meet at the court-
house in the city of Brenham on Saturday,
September ;th, 1878, at it o'clock a. m.,
for the purpose of making nominations for
county officers, and for such other purposes
as to the convention may seem proper:
T4he Democrats in the several justices'
precincts are recommended to hold their
primary meetings on Saturday, August 17,
to select delegates to the county conven-
tion as above called. Some contusion and
dissatisfaction having arisen in previous
county conventions, from the fact of sepa-
rate delegations claiming representation
from the same precinct, it is hoped that but
one meeting will be held in each precinct,
and but a single delegation will be sent
from each.
Each precinct will be entitled to one
vote in the county convention for evary 50
votes cast therein for the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor at the general election in
1876, and one additional vote for any
fraction of fifty votes over twenty-five,
For the purpose of perfecting the organ-
ization of the party, it is further -recom-
mended that tne several precinct meetings
should appoint a permanent chairman and
such other officers as may be necessaiy,
and that such steps be taken with regard to
nominating precinct officers as may seem to
them proper. It will also be competent for
such meetings to organize one or more
Democratic Clubs at each voting precinct
in their several Justices' precincts.
It is believed that with thorough organi-
zation, and a reasonable degree of energy,
the county may be entirely relieved of the
thraldom and misrule which has hitherto
oppressed us.
