While it may be right for the chair
man of the executive committee of the
county to issue calls for the organiza-
tons Of ward club meetings, it is by
no means his privilege to organize
them temporarily. The line of action
pursued mt the meeting of the First
ward last night is nnti-DemoCratic and
withouta precedent In the organization
of clubs. When the Democracy of the
ward assemblies, it is their privilege to
organize just as seems best to
them, without the Interference or SUI
perintendencc Of the chairman Of the
executive committee, whose duties eX.
pire the moment the call is issued.
Democratic usage makes il the duty of
the chairman of the county committee
to organize county conventions, but in
no wise Is this the case in ward or club
meetings.
Let each ward organize its own club
in its own way, without any lobbying
or outside pressure from other wards.
The Democracy of the Second Ward
will meet tonight at the Broom Fac
tory. In this connection it would
seem that the fixing of the ward meet
ings on different nights hrs Il suspi-
cious look. Was 1t done with n view
Of manipulating them in deta'l in the
interest Of certain Gspirant' for Con-
gressional E0nOrs? Why could the
Democracy not meet in all the wards
on the same night" Simply because
it would not have suited the purpose
of those who are endeavoring to organ

in their own interests. The People see
through the miserable suhteriuge and
viii not permit themselves to be drlV-
en- like sheep to the sh0mbles. They
intend to support Governor Throck.
morton in spite Of any small faction
striving to undermine him in ward
meetings and county convention.
1t Is the general impression,
from last nights work, that IA
few gentlemen still persist in
their misguided ambition, to hope
that through these Tildel and Hen
bricks clubs they will be able to come
in, possibly for nomination by the
county convention, as the choice of
Dallas county for Congress. Hence
their extraordinary zeal in superin-
tending SO diSinterestedly the organi.
cation Of each ward club consecutively.
1t looks AS if the 'pilden and Hendricks
club business was simply Il blind; the
cat in the meal tub is the defeat of
rhrockmort0n. 1t IL, of course, the
privilege of any gentleman, and W
fully recognize the right, to aspire to
Congressional honors. What is COM
planned of Is the sc ,ret and mysterious
means being employed to accomplish
the end. Come Out, boldly, gentlemen,
and announce your favorit4 candidate,
and The HERALD will do you the JUS
tice of placing his claims fairly before
its readers.
