Chairman Hobbs stated that he had
called the committee together on account
of information which he had which I
seemed to make a more active and ag
gressive campaign upon the part of the
true Democracy of the District necessary.
Col. Harris offered a preamble and res
olutions to be adopted as expressing the
views and recommendations of the com
mittee on the situation. After consider
able discussion a committee was appoint
ed on resolutions,and the paper offered by
Col, Harris was referred to that commit
tee. The committee on resolutions was
appointed by the Chairman, and consist
ed Messrs. Spence, Triplett and Irvin,
The committee on resolutions accepted
the main features of Col. Harris’s reso
lations, and reported them with some
slight alterations and amendments, The
committee then made some alterations
and the resolutions as finally, adopted
were as follows:
“From unmistakable’ evidence which
has been Jaid before this committee, it
appears that the Third party in this dis
trict has formed itself into a political
party, having appointed a cimpaign
committee, which in turn has sent out in
secret to the members of the Third party
of the district instructions to organize
and vote at the Democratic primaries
and select delegates of their own party
to the Democratic convention who will
vote for their nominees. And it furthe:
appears that many misguided men here
tofore Democrats in the district, have
formally renounced Democracy «nd join
ed the Third party, and proposed then to
go to the polls and vote as Democrats,
It further appearing that, although
this committee requested all the coun
ties in this distriet to hold their several
primaries on the 30th day of July next
for the selection of delegates to the Con
gressional Convention to be held on the
17th day of August next, that several
counties, the Executive Committees of
which have upon them Third party men,
are ignoring said instructions and are
calling and holding their conventions
now with a view to selecting 'T'liird party
men as delegates to said Concressional
Comnvention to support Third party men.
The committee fe:l that. inthus tiving
to bring on the Congressional nimories
before the time recommended by this
committee, and in thus acting in dis
regard and in violation of Democratic
usage, the promoters and abettors of the
Third party ars seeking to force Demo
crats to submit to their obnoxious and
dangerous doctrines. Be it ‘herefore
Resolved, T'hat we respectfuily request
the true men of the district who lave
been enticed into this unholy Third por
ty movement vo withdraw from the s: me,
and be with us as in the past ba {ling
shoulder to shoulder for our mutnal in
terests, which are identical. ¢ic fur
ther
Resolved. That the Democrats of tle
several counties of this district are re
quested to rerfain from participatine in
any way in the primaries or conven i n
which, under the organization and ma
nipulation of the Third party, are now
being held contrary to the instructions
of this committee, and to hold as re
quested Democratic primaries on the 301 h
of July next for the selection of delegate:
to the Congressional convention. Be it
further
Resolved, That the Democrats of the
seéveral counties in which conventicns
are about to be held, igno~e the same
and hold primaries on the 56ih of July
next, to appoint delegates to the Con
gresional conveniion. Be it further
Resolved, That the conventton which
is called to meet in Albany cn the 17th
day of August next to nominate a candi
date for Congress for this district, are
respectfully requested to lecogniz
only the delegates which are selected by
the primaries held on the 30th of July
next.
In making these recommendations the
convention does not wish to be under
stood as dictating to the Demoerats of
this district. We simply see the danger
ous conspiracy which is organirel
against your welfare. and Dbeg you to
put on your armor, and defeat th
machinations of these dangerous men.
We fu ‘ther request that the Democrats
of the several couniies get tocether and
see to it that their Executive Committe:s
are composed of Pemocrats, purging the
committces of all Third perty men and
those who will not abide by the pai
iy rules adopted by this commitice, aud
hat the committee, when purced and
organized, shall hold primaries as pro
vided by aw, And that the returns of
the elections thus held shall be retarned
to the Executive Committees of the sev
eral counties by the managers of said
elections, after consolidation,
Resolved, That the test for a votrr at
the U'emceratic primaries in (his distric:
be that the voter, when challenged, shal
swear that Le accepts, in good faith, the
platform of principles adopted by the
National Democratic Convention at Chi
cago, and that the Nationl Democratic
platform adopted at CLicago be the true
test of Demoecracy.
Col. E. L. Wight appeared before the
committee as the representative of the
Dougerty County Democratic Club and
asked that Democrats who favor the
Ocala platform, and cldim to be Demo
crats, be not read out of the party.
Mr. J. H. Scaife, Chairman of the Ex
ecutive Committee of Mitchell county,
anc Mr. Scott, chairman of the Clay
county committee, were present and ad
dressed the committee, giving the status
of affairs in their respective counties.
Col. Harris moved that Democratic
syeaxers from any part of the State be
invited to vis't the Second district and
make speeches, 3
Mr. Spence moved that this committee
elect from its number a committee of
tive, to be known as the Central Execu
tive Committee, whose duty it shall be
‘o selcet speakers and make appoint
ments for a vigorous campaign. Mr.
Spence’s motion was unanimously adopt
ed, and the following central committee
was appointed: Messrs. Harris, Bush,
Spence, Triplett and Boyd, to which
Capt. Hobbs was added as ex-officio
