The state executive committee of the dem

ham bouse yesterday at 10 o’clock a. m., and
was called to order by Hoo. Henry Jackaoo,
chairman.
John W. Akin was selected secretary.
The chairman then subm itted hls resigna
tion as a member of the committee. It was
u follows:
Atlanta, April 6 —Gentlemen of the Exec
utive Committee: Nearly two years ago, by
action of tbe democratic party of tbo stato of
Georgia, I became a member of this commit
tee. Before that body met there appeared to
be some diuatlsfaction in democratic ranks
with the condition of affairs, and grave loan
wren, entertained that its action would not
bd ratified at the polls. The convention had
scarcely adjourned before it became evident
that a rlgoroaa campaign wu necessary to
secure the election of its nominee for the
highest office within thogiftof the people of
Georgia. Tbo result of that contest wu de
cisive, and it wu qnickly followed by tbe
recovery of the two congressional districts
which had been represented by gentlemen
who bad been elected over the nominees of
the democralio conventions The death of
Governor Stephens rendered necessary the
nomination and election of a successor, and
the notion of the convention called to fill tho
vacancy, was indorsed at tbe polls withont
even the appearance of opposition. These
results, of so lunch consequence to the pros
perity of our beloved slate, were accomplished
by earnest aud systematic labor, and to you,
gentlemen, assisted lay an able democratic
preas, is due much of the credit. Tbe ardu
ous work is over, and tbe interests of tho
party in this state will soon be confided to
other hands.
I have endeavored to discharge to the
beat of my Ability the dnties assigned me by
the convention to which this committee owes
its existence, and bad hoped to continue
with you until our successors were selected
in accordance with the usages ot tho party,
bnt what I trust is an honorable ambition
hns led me to aspire to tbe democratic nom-
nation for congreu front tbe ilftb district,
and possibly it might be thought that my
connection with this committee could be
used to advance my own interests In the
direction indicated. Realising profoundly
that under our system of government nothing
coitld.be more demoralizing than the use of n
public office or trust for private ends, I de
sire to keep myself beyond the criticisms ol
even the moat aenaftlve or suspicious. I
therefore tender my resignation as chairman
and a member of tbe committee, end in go
doing, permit me to say that’ I lever my con
nection with yon entertaining tho kindest
feelings towards every member.
Trusting that tbedellberaUous upon which
you aro about to enter will result In main
taining tho harmony now existing In the
democratic parly, and in continuing its
complete supremacy in Georgia, believe me,
very truly yours,
Henry Jscksor.

cratic party of tbe State of Georgia.
