committee.
Chairman Hobbs stated that he had
called the committee together on account
of information which he had which
seemed to make more active and ag-
gressive campaign upon the part of the
true Democracy of the District necessary.
Col. Harris offered preamble and res
olutions to be adopted as expressing the
views and recommendations of the com
mlttee on the situation. After consider
able discussion a committee was appoint
ed on resolutions, and the paper offered by
Col. Harris was referred TO that commit
tee. The committee on resolutions was
appointed by the Chairman, and consist
ed Messrs. Spence, Triplett and Irwin.
The committee ON resolutions accepted
the main features of Col Harris's reso-
lutions, and reported them with some
slight alterations and amendments. The
committee then made some alterations
and the resolutions as finally, adopted
were as follows:
"From unmistakable evidence which
has been laid before this committee. it
appears that the Third party in this dis
trict has formed itself into a political
party, having appointed a CAMPAIGN
committee, which in turn has sent out in
secret to the members of the Third party
of the district instructions to organize
and vote at the Democratic primaries
and select delegates of their own party
to the Democratic convention who will
vote for their nominees. And it further
appears that many misguided men here
tofore Democrats in the district, have
formally renowned Democracy and Join
eel the Third party, and proposed then to
go to the polls and vote as Democrats.
1t further appearing that, although
this committee requested all the cOun-
ties in this district to hold their several
primaries on the Both day Of July next
for the selection of delegates to the Con
gressional Convention to be held on the
18th day of August next, that several
counties, the Executive Committees of
which have upon them Third party men,
are ignoring said instructions. and are
calling and holding their conventions
now with view to selecting Third party
men as delegates to said Congressional
Convention to support Third party men.
The committee feel that in thus tying
to bring on the Congressional primaries
before the time recommended by this
committee, and in thus acting in dis
regard and in violation of Democratic
usage, the promoters and abettOrs OF the
Third party are seeking to force Demo-
Gratis to submit to their obnoxious and
dangerous doctrines. Be it therefore
Resolved, That we respectfully request
the true men of the district who have
been enticed into this unholv THIRD pr
ty movement 10 withdraw from the same.
and be with us as in the past ba Cling
shoulder to shoulder for our mutual in
terestS, which are identical. BE it fur
Their
Resolved That the Democrats of t. e
several counties of this district are re-
quested to refrain from participating in
any way in the primaries or c0nven n
which, under the organization and ma
nipulation of the Third party. are now
being held contrary to the instructions
of this committee. and to hold as re-
quested Democratic primaries on the 30lh
of July next for the selection Of delegates
to the Congressional convention. Be it
further
Resolved, That the Democrats of the
several counties in which conventions
are about to be held, ignore the same
and hold primaries on the seth Of July
next, to appoint delegates to the Con
gresional convention. Be it further
Resolved, That the convention which
is called TO meet IN Albany On the 18th
day of August next to nominate candi-
date for Congress for this district, are
respectfully requested to Iecogniz
only the delegates which are selected 10y
the primaries held on the 30th of July
next.
In making these recommendations the
convention does not wish to be under
stood as debating to the Democrats of
this district. We simply see the danger
Gus conspiracy which is organi' e
against your welfare and beg you to
put on your armor, and defeat the
Vaccinations of these dangerous men,
We fu ther request that the Democrats
of the several counties get torethct AMI
