What Was Done at their Regular Meeting
Last Night.

Last night being the time for the
regular meeting of the Hogg club,
about forty of its members assembled
at the court house and were called to
order by Col. j. j. Faux, in the
absence OF the chairman.
Mr.. Roche offered the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously
adopted:
Be it resolved by the Central Demo
cratic club of the county of Travis,
First-That vacancy exists in the
craftsmanship of the Democratic exec
utive committee of Travis county by
reason of our late chairman having
opposed and voted against the regu-
larly organized Democracy at our re-
cent general election held on the 8th
inst.
SecCnd-That the Hon. Jos. w.
Robertson, chairman of this senatorial
district, be requested to fill said va
cancy at his earliest convenience.
Third-That this club recommends
j. H. Henderson as a suitable
and proper person to be appointed to
Cplu pOoluiOhs
Fourth--That the said chairman when
appointed be requested to immedi-
ately convene the executive commit
tee of Travis county and fill all vacan-
cies that may exist.
Fifth--That the secretary of this club
be directed to transmit copy of these
resolutions to said Joseph w. Robert
son.

The following committee report was
offered by Mr.. Roche and adopted:
Fi-st-This club was organized to
teach the doctrines of Democracy and
to assist in the election of the regu-
larry nominated ticket of the party.
Second-We recommend that this
organization be maintained, and that
every good Democrat or voter who
desires to join the Democratic ranks
be cordially invited to become men,
bers of this club
Third-It is the opinion of this
committee that this club, as
a body, should not endorse
the application of any person for fed
eral appointment at this time, leaving
the individual members to use their
own discretion.
Fourth-We further recommend
that whereas faction OF the Demo-
cratic party have deserted the party
in time of danger and formed an al.
lance with the Republican party; and,
Whereas, these misguided men, at
a recent meeting in Waco, solemnly
declared their intention of maintain
ing their organization for the purpose
of making war upon the regular DEM
ocratic party of this state, that it
shall be the duty of this club,
representing the Democracy OF
this county, to protest against
the appointment of any person to
position under the federal government
who acknowledges allegiance to or
gives assistance to these boilers.
We, therefore, recommend that it
shall be the duty of the chairman of
this club, through its secretary, to
promptly advise our senators and rep
resentatives in congress of the protest
in section hereof, and to report to
this club his action thereon at its next
meeting.
