Rucker, Mayor. W. A. Gilleland, Treasurer and Clerk of Council. Pursuant to a call of the Chairman of the DemoiiVatic Executive Com mittee ot Clarke county, a meeting of the Democracy was held at Deuprec Hall, on Saturday, the 29th tilt. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Dr. R. .. . Smith, who after stating the object of the caii to be a reorganization of the Democratic Executive Committee of the county, tendered bis resigna tion. His re-ignation was accpted and a vote of thanks tendered him for the able and impartial discharge of the duties of his office. Owing to the feebleness of Dr. Smith, Col. S. C. DoLhs was called to the Chair. Upon motion a committee was ap pointed to report names for Chair man, Vice-Chairman, S eerctary ami Treasurer and members of the Exec- u'.ive Committee. 'The Committee reported that the cons.nation re quired, that a Chairman, a Vice- Chairman, a Secretaiy and Treasurer lie elected, and that the Chairman appoint the members of the Execu tive Committee, whereupon the meet ing proceeded to an election, when the following were elected unani mously and by acclamation: Col. S C. Dobbs, Chairman; Mr. J. R. Crane, Vice-Chairman; P. G. Thompson, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer. The Chairman then ap pointed the folio win 4 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. S.

Thompson offered the following resolutions which were seconded by Capt. Pope Barrow, in an able, earnest and most eloquent speech’.entreating the Democracy to stand firm by those principles and that organization which ha i forever proven the safe guard of Constitution al government and thu desertion ot which had caused that cm nipt ion auvliippECdsiou from which our conn try had so iiiuch suffered, and from which, thank God, through the strong arm of the Democracy the country was about to be relieved. The resolutions were unanimously adopted which are as follows: Resolved, Tnat in union there is strength. That the success of the Democratic party depends upon a strict and universal adherance to Democratic principles and usages. 2. Resolved, That the Democratic party ot Clarke county pledges its undivided and earnest support to whoever may be regularly nomi- lted as a candidate for Congress, at the ensiling Gainesville Convention. 3. Resolved, That we look with ilisapproval upon the Independent movement, believing that it will, if not checked, result disastrously to thorough Democratic organization and prove a source of m little en couragement to the rebuilding up of the Radical party in the State of Georgia. The Chairman then stated that a primary election would be held or, Tuesday 2d of July, for delegates to represent the county in the Gainsville Convention, which would arsemble the 18.li of August. II.- urged all to bear the election in mind and pole the full vole of the county. The meeting was iht-n upon motion ad journed’. S. C.'Dobbs, Cli’in. P. G. TiSoiireoN, Sec. The meeting of the Democracy on Saturday was nnusually large one fully second tLo resolution as well a« the sentiments expressed by the mover in his remark-. It was surely unnecessary for him to argue to this meeting the soundness of Democratic principles. Every gen .tlenian present he presumed to be a Democrat and thoroughly wedded to ihe principles of the party. He would not talk about organized Democracy. That was a perversion of terms. There is no other sort of Democracy' except organized De mocracy. If you say you are a Democrat, it follows of course that you belong lo the organization. If a voter sees proper to attack the party, he has a right to do so. He may pick flaws and find grievances, and demand redress, but when the griev ances are removed, and the redress is given, and the abuses are leformedj there is no excuse for continuing the j attack. If it is continued longer, it | is for sonic other reason. The prin ciph-8 ot the Democratic parly are well known. They have been the source of all the blessings that the people have enjoyed, and a violation < f them has been the causes ofall our troubles. Those who believe in the.-e principles find a home in the Democratic paity organization. It is tlioir only exponent. If you find people who repudiate the organiza tion, you may safely say it is because it- principles do not suit them. They have a right to differ. They may lie honorable gentlemen and good citizens, but they are not Democrats. But he said he was not a politician, and not competent to instruct tlum Gov. Alfred H. Colquitt. Our city council, by resolution, last February extended the hospitalities of this community to our honored chief Executive and Staff during the August Convention of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, and ex pressed at the same time an earnest desire that they would grace and dignify the Commencement exercises of the State University, by th^ir presence. The Trustees of the Uni versity could then honor themselves by electing “ our Governor” a mem ber of their body. He is an earnest friend of University education, and his deepest sympathies are with the farmers of Georgia and our State College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts. J. II.
