Davis as Do-Nothing.
The jackson Democratic Association held its
regular monthly meeting last evening at Sanger
bund hall; in the absence Of the president, the
FIRST vice president, Mr. Jesse B. Wilson, occupied
the chair; Dc. Charles Allen acted as secretary.
The minutes Of the last meeting were read. Mr..
c. p. Culver objected to the phraseoIogy Of por-
tion of a resolution presented by him at the last
meeting, and published at that time. The min
utes put him In the light Of nominating Messrs.
Thurman and Bayard as the Democratic esndi-
dates respectively for President and Vice Presi-
dent in the next contest, whereas he had only
recommended those gentlemen as the Democratic
standard bearers in the next Presidential cam
paign; and be re-read the original resolution to
sustain his point. The minutes were ordered to
be corrected in accordance with Mr.. Culver's OBJ
lection, and otherwise remained unchanged.
The committee on applications for nIem bership
reported fRVOrably on the name of Mr.. Thomas
jenkins, and he was elected member.
At the request Of Captain Godfrey the resolu-
tiOn presented by Mr.. Culver at the last meet
ing, and referred TO the committee on resolutions
was read in full.
Mr. H S Davis, from the committee on resolu-
tions, who had this resolution in charge, reported
that they had been unable to meet and act on II:
would be reported back Tor the action OF the
association.
NOMINATE EN-.
DR.. Allen urged that the association proceed
waiting Tor the action OF the committee. They
had had ample time to get up o report, and he
did hot believe in entom bing resolutions in CON-
mittees.
Mr. navis objected to bringing up the resoiu-
uOn. The committee would certainly report at
the next meeting.
On motion Of Mr.. Culver, the committee was
allowed TO retain the resolution until the next
meeting Of the association.
DR.. Allen offered the following resolution:
which was referred to the committee m resolu-
tions, with the request that they submit report
Resolred, That the oppression of the interests
OF labor by the Republican party has produced
the present depressed condition Of the country,
cratic party will always recognize the dignity or
labor and advance by all means in its power its
bests interests.
ResoIred, That in view of the State Democratic
Convention of Ohio, to be held in the city of Co.
lumbus on the 18th instant, and the general invi-
tatiOn given by the call Of that convention to all
the States and Territories to send to 1t delegates
the Jackson Democratic Association send two or
more delegates to said convention.
Mr.. Davis thought that, as this District was
neither State nor a Territory, delegates sent 5y
them could have no influence and would only be
sUBJEcFED TO RIDICULE.
Mr.. Culver stated that It had been their Gus
tom send delegates not orly to national, but to
State conventions, not with the view Of voting,
but to give them the preference Of the District
Democrats. He did not think that 1t would be
out Of the way to send delegates to the Ohio con-
vention, If merely to give them the advantage
of their presence.
Mr.. Davis was willing to let delegates go If
they wished to pay their own expenses. He did
not believe any men would want to pick up their
carpetbags and 90 to Ohio just to be seen there.
1t was probably important for this association
that had nominated Thurman for President to
have delegates there. He hoped they would not
make themselves a laughing stock.
DIR. Allen said that Mr.. Davis policy during
his whole course In the association had been ado
nothing" policy. He could not see the force of
any Of his objections. The question was whether
they should accept the invitation from Ohio to
the Democracy or not.
Capt. Godfrey wanted to know what was ex-
pected Of these delegates If they were sent.
DR.. Allen said that, as Democrats Of the coun-
try had been invited, the District Democrats
ought to GO, and detail the wrongs that had been
perpetrated here. If he were appointed as
delegate he would consider 1t an honor, and would
not hesitate 10 20 and pay his own expenses, If
his business permitted.
Upon motion Of DR.. Allen, the resolution was
adopted,
The Chair was directed, upon motion of Mr..
Culver, to appoint the delegates; which he will
do in time Tor the convention.
The association then adjourned.
