The Democrats of Precinct No 4, (Nor-
gan) are requested to meet at the Bosque
Citizen Office on Monday night, the Doth
inst, to organize a precinct Democratic
club After the organization and election
of officers the question of the eligibility OF

o. X Belcher addressed the club declar-
ing that he was a Simon-pure Democrat
from away-back where the roads originally
forked sucked Democratic milk, rocked in
a Democratic cradle, and would die Il Demo
crst and desired Democratic flag for Il
winding-shroud. He had spilled his blood
on the battlefield, under Stonewal Jack
son.
He offered the following resolutions,
which We're 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, and to instruct our dele
gates whom we appoint 10 higher Demo
cratic conventions, do hereby declare:
That it is the sense of this meeting that
Hon. n. w. Finley, chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee, having
attempted to usurp power not dsia3ssea
him, and having ordered the expulsion OF
believers in the sub-treasury from the Dem
Ocratic 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. s $,
Therefore, be itresolved, thatshe and his
henchmen that indorse this usAfpationfde
serve and should receive the .Sforn and;exe-
Grafton of every true Demoest in thestates
and be it further

ing who indorses hissaftempted despotic
ruling he is hereby expelled from the DEM
ocratic party of precinct No. of Bosque
county, Tex.

Democracy of precinct No. 4, heartily APP
prove the platform OF principles as set
forth at Ocala, Fla, December, 1890, we are
Simon-pure Democrats, having voted tire
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 r. g.
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 Will US VI [Auu llIStG

gresham 10 Abbott copy of this resolu-
ton.
