sPeople's Club" of the Third Ward have re-
| quested this club to appoint conference
committee appointed from their body, to
| agree upon ticket for the coming State Con-
| ventlon; an !
Whereas, we have no faith in the individuals
composing said so-calleG People Club, either
as leaders or supporters of the Democratic
party; ano
Whereas we believe they have no status in
the Democratic party, their club being
founded upon aristocratic principles, namely:
the exclusion of the people, eno the admission
of the few,
No,s, be 1t resolved, That we cordially and
earnestly advise the members of the misnamed
Peoples Club to make, unassisted by us, their
own list of delegates, and for proprietys sake
to have the same printed upon postal cards
and distributed among their wealthy friends
and colaborers, as we, the poor working peo-
ple OF the ward, intend to indorse and support
men of our own choice, without the aid OF
postal cards; bet in a manly, open manner,
as well becomes yoemen OF the soil.
Be it further rescued. That we believe the
Central Club Of this ward should, previous to
the coming State Convention, be reorganized,
as we understand the election for delegates to
said Convent:o on to be the commencement OF
a new campaign.
Carried. E. y. BEowN, Secretary.

adopted by johnson Rangers and johnson
Rangers No. L. also, the Gibson Guards and
Claiborne Guards denOuncing the People

the Democratic voters of this ward; a body
of few men who desire at all hazards to
control entirely in their own interests the
hard, toiling workingmen of the ward.

point a committee on conference, to consist
of FIVE members, to act in conjunction with
