the proceeding of the Democratic meet
ngs in Calaveras, and one in Tuolumne.
They were both opposed to bringing on
the election at the present session.
The one held at Murphy's Camp, in
Caaveras county, proposed spirited and
| determined resolutions, from which we
extract the following:
Resolved, That the conduct of certain
politicians in endeavoring to force an
election Of United States Senator the
present session of the Legislature, is anti.
Democratic, reprehensible, and should
meet, as it deserves, it's reward in the just
Indignation of the Democracy of this
State.
RESOLVED, That however the matter
may, by interested parties, be achite,cash-
ed ouer, we view the case Of bribery, or
attempted bribery and corruption, lately
under investigation before the Senate, as
a disgrace to our State, and the legitimate
result of, and justly attributable to, the
illegal attempt made by certain partlzans
to favor said election at the present ses-
sion.
Resolvcd, That we will hold any mem
Der from this county, by whatever party
name he may call himself, who shall, in
any manner aid said election the present
session, as a political renegade, totally
unworthy Of our support for, or in any
office.
Resolved, That in accordance with the
uniform sentiment of the Democratic
press, after the canvass of 1910, in regard
to the bank question, we hold to the doc
trne of "repeat' as one of the conserva-
tive rights of the people; and we here
boldly declare that should fraud, bribery
and treachery succeed in depriving us from
being more directly heard in the choice of
our next United States Senator, ''repea"
shall be our watchword, and that we will
repudiate the Senator elect, be he Whom
he may
RESOLVED, That from reliable facts in
our possession, we fully believe that nine
tenths of the Democrats of Calaveras
county are opposed to an election of Sen
ator the present session; and, therefore,
that the Democratic delegation from this
county-in both Houses Il to represent
truly their constituents, should unitedly
oppose said election.
The meeting also passed resolutions
approving the course of those Democratic
members who signed the address against
the election, and request the delegation
from thst county, if unwilling to obey in
structlons, to resign and come home.
Here are the resolutions:
Resolved, That the only honorable
course for any representative to pursue,
who is not determined to be governed by
the will Of his constituents, Is to resign
Immediately, that his constituents may be
represented by a man of their choice
Resotred, That if there is any member
of the Legislature from Caiaveras county
who is not disposed to conform to the SEN
timents put forth by the Democratic
meeting, held in the Senate chamber, on
the evening of the 2d inst, such member
is imperiously called upon by a sense of
duty to hrnse and to his constituents, to
resign forthwith.
The whole series we're unanimously
adopted
The other meeting was held at Chinese
Camp, in Tuolumne, at which these reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, By the citizens of Chinese
Precinct, that our Representatives in the
Legislature be requested, and are hereby
instructed to Use all honorable means to
prevent the election of a United States
Senator the present session.
RESOLVED, That in the event Of the cleo
ton coming off this session, VIM. Nj.
Gwin Is our first choice.
Resolued, That we detest anything like
moneyed influences, which we have rea-
son to believe have been brought to bear,
by political trickSters, on the election for
United States Senator, for their own ag-
grandisement.
Resolred, That it is our firm conviction,
were it not for the selfish motives of a few
political aspirants, the question Of United
States Senator would not have been moot
ed the present session.
Resoiued, That we look with pride and
satisfaction on the persevering, manly y and
able course of Senator Gwn in The fur
therance of the interests of this our Pa
cic State.
At the same meeting, delegates were
elected to the Sonora Convention.
By private letter, the Republican also
learns that similar meeting had been
held at Montezuma.
