Democratic party reform urged in Lincoln county politics
An unsigned 1880s era notice urges Lincoln county Democrats to nominate a full slate for all offices, enforce party discipline, and hold conventions. It disputes confusions over candidate identity and warns against factional scrambling, while endorsing a reorganization and unified ticket headed by party standards. It also clarifies a misidentified Henry Mayson and ends with a jab at Gov Hill as a Democratic 1888 standard-bearer.
