GRAFT and desired a Democratic flag for
winding shroud. He had spilled his blood
On the battlefield, under Stonewall jack
son.
He offered the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted
We, the Democracy of precinct No. 4, in
masS-meeting assembled, not having dele
gated to any authority the right TO hand
down to us any construction of Democratic
principles, and retaining the right to be the
Judge of our own membership in our pri-
mary meetings, ana to instruct our dele
gates whom we appoint 10 higher Demo-
cratic conventions, do hereby declare:
That IL IS the sense of this meeting that
Hon. n. w. Finley, chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee, having
attempted to usurp power not delegated to
him, and having ordered the expulsion OF
believers in the Sub-treaSury from the Dem
ocratlc primaries. but retaining therein the
members of the National bankers associa-
ton, has proved recreant TO the high trust
reposed in him, faithless to the true princi-
pies of the Democratic party, and pusillani-
nous and apOstate toward the Democrats
that gave him the balance of power in the
San Antonio state convention
Therefore, be it resolved, that he and his
henchmen that indOrse this usurpation. de-
serve and should receive the scorn and exc
Grafton of every true Democrat III the state,
and be it further
Resolved, that if there is one in this meet
ing who indorses his attempted despotic
ruling he is hereby expelled from the Dem
ocratic party of precinct No. of Bosque
county, Tex
Resolved, further, that while we, the
Democracy of precinct No. 4, heartily APP
prove the platform of principles as set
forth at Ocala, Fla. December, 1870, we are
Simon-pure Democrats, having voted tie
Democratic ticket in the last election, and
many of us never having voted any other
ticket.
Resolved, that as the speaker of the house
of representatives has the appointment of
all committees, and therefore indirectly the
power to kill many good bills, and as T. @.
Mills is not in sympathy with the agricult-
ural Democracy on finance, it is the sense
OF this meeting that our congressman, 10
Abbott, be requested to withhold his sup
port from him and vote for someone in
sympathy with US on finance. And that
the secretary is instructed to send Con-
: IeSSlndn Jo aDUOtu copy OF IHlS feSOlu- |
ton.

ton, which vas adopted:

who called this meeting. is in sympathy |
with the plutocracy, and in collision with |

whom the San Antonio convention has con-
iemned, it is the sense of this meeting that
le be expelled from the Democratic party
If this precinct.
