REMARKABLE RESOLUTIONS.

The Sacramento Democratic County
Central Committee yesterday convened in
response to call of the Democratic
State Central Committee addressed to
County Committees of the party, direct
ing them to send delegates to a party
council of war to be held in San Francisco
on the 18th inst. The purpose of this
council is to select delegation of Demo-
cratic thoroughbreds to go on to Washing
ton and advise President-clect Cleveland
how to dispense patronage on this coast.
In other words it is an effort on the part
of the discounted, soured and vicious
Stockton Convention Democracy to cinch
all Democrats who did not sit at that love
feast, and to keep out in the cold the old
time Democrats who were read out of the
party for conscience sake, and have had
the manliness to strike back
The Sacramento Democratic Committee
refuses to be party to the further schemes
of the Observation-Disclosures extra
session crowd. The resolutions, which APP
pear elsewhere, when brought in by the
reporters were assumed to be the usual
party conventional hog-wash but on peru
sal we find them to be something out Of
the commonplace, and so full of wit, vigor
and truth as to challenge admiration. We
confess that from a party body, usually so
obedient to the whip and spur of the
bosses as Democratic Central Committees
are, We had not expected anything so
manly, independent and incisive.
The committee sharply rebukes the
State Committee for killing off Mr. Gayi-
gan's peace-ofiering resolutions, and raps
the self-appointed con?essors of the party
over the knuckles for reinaugurating
shameful and vicious warfare within the
party that is perfectly certain to separate
lis two wings more and more, and render
the hope Of reunion hourly fainter The
committee calls attention to the fact that
the plan to send on a delegation to inhu-
.ence Mr.. Cleveland is a fat insult to the
Senator and Congressman from California
who are members of the party, and have
not shown any lack of fealty to the Demo-
cratic organization. 1t certainly is an inn
pudent and cold-blooded proposition, and
should excite the Just indignation of every
county central committee of the party in
the State, rs it does Of every true man of
party, no matter Of what faith
The Stockton Convention stripe of Dem
ocratic papers have never tired of iterating
that the act Of the people in bundling the
Democrats out of power on the 4th of Nc
vember was due TO the Blaine boom, and
not to any disgust on the part of the pee
pie with the seheming and demagogy of
the ranting crew that yelp to the call of
George Hearst, and foam at the mouth at
the command OF Clarence Greathouse.
They have stubbornly refused to see
that the people returned a Repub-
lican Legislature because the Re
publican party declared for fair
dealing and exact justice, alike
to carriers and shippers and refused
,uarely to tag on to the skirts of the
demagogic and vicious platform declared
at Stockton by band of political conspi-
rators, whose sole aim was the exaltation
of ignorant wealth and audacious impu-
dence. But here we have the deliberate
e
sentative committee Of the Democratic
party, in a Republican county, that knows
what political battle against superior
numbers means-a committee of party
that in Sacramento has more than once
wrmg victory from an adverse majority
declaration that the committee believes,
h d there been an election for State officers
only on the 4th of November last, the de-
