Il. That we recognize to the fullest
extent the belief OF the members OF the
Committee that, by their action, they
were inaugurating a reform in the man
ner of electing delegates, and that they
were prompted by desire to promote
the cause of Democracy, yet we regard
the plan Indicated as being opposed to
the wishes OF the people.
"2. In the name Of The Democracy and
In the interests Of the Democrats OF
Hamilton County We protest against
such action Of the Committee as unuem-
ocratic, ill.adyised and destructive OF
the best interests Of the party.
"8. That tue selection OF delegates in
the manner adopted at that meeting is u
departure from the well established and
time-honored customs OF the party, and
is a disfranchisement Of the voters, and
a denial Of the rights OF the people, from
whom the Committee derives its exist
ence. This Executive Committee is the
servant, not the master, OF the constitu-
ENJOY that created 1t.
"a. Should the Committee be permitted
to carry out this proposed plan, bane-
ful precedent will be establlsneu, and it
will result in evils greater than any 1t
is intended to cure.
20. That we respectfully but earnestly
request The Executive Committee TO re-
solnd their action; and, in order to pro-
mote peace and harmony In our ranks,
we recommend that the election OF dele
neld in accordance VITA the require
ments OF the Baber Law,
y. The Committee failing to rescind
their action, we recommend that the
Democracy OF this county assemble in
Lheir respective wards and precincts,
and eleSt three de- egates to the State
Convention In the customary mAnnor,
anu that tue delegation so elected shall
appeal to the Democracy OF the State
IN Convention assembled at Columbus,
confident that they Will be admitted
anu approved AZ The true and only rep
resenGaLiVes OF the Democracy OF Ham
llLon County.
Respectfully submitted,
