Postponement of the Democratic State Convention.
The Executive Committee of the Democratic State Central Committee, together with about
thirty Democrats of prominence, from various portions of the State and of this city, met at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel, yesterday, to discuss the expediency of postponing the meeting of the State
Convention from the called day—May 27th—to July 4th. After a full and free expression of the views
of all present, the prevailing sentiment was in favor of the postponement. In harmonious accord
with this sentiment the Executive Committee met after the others present had retired, and issued a
call for a meeting of the full Committee at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, in this city, on Tuesday next, the
20th, at noon, to determine the matter. The expression in favor of the postponement was so nearly
unanimous at the meeting, yesterday only one voting against it —that it may be considered as a
foregone conclusion that the State Committee will order it as suggested, to the Fourth of July.
Nevada County Workingmen.
The Workingmen’s Central Committee of Nevada County has passed a resolution requesting
their State Committee to postpone the meeting of the State Convention one month. The calling of
a county nominating convention was postponed until such time as the Executive Committee may
determine. The county convention for the appointment of delegates to the State Convention is called
to meet at Nevada City, on the 31st inst. All persons who voted for the new Constitution are to be
considered eligible as voters at the primaries or as delegates.
