George Wells, David o. Parlett. The
committee reported the following reso-
buttons;
Resolped, by the Democrats of Annapo-
lis, in Convention assembled. That, we
view with just indignation, the disgrace
full conduct of those who had the duty
of calling the primary meetings to order
in the first and second election districts
of this county, and the partizan and
faithless manner in which the State Cen
trail Committee OF this county exercised
its powers In directing the places and
manner OF holding the several primary
meetings In Annapolis, the second and
third districts.
Resolued, That the unusual division Of
the City of Annapolis into three prima-
ry meetings was as unnecessary as Il was
unsuccessful, and which miserable de-
vice of petty politics was reproved In
that signal manner with which the In
yincible democracy OF Annapolis knows
how to rebuke personal injury
Resolred, That the conduct of the faith
less and pitiful puppet of the State Gen.
trail Committee in endeavoring 10 de-
| feat the will of the Democrats of the
second district by not calling the meet
ing TO order was an outrage that shows
the State Central oL.mitte and their
abettors i'm this county. do not hesitate
ed to carry out their political purposes.
ResolDed, That the calling of the pri-
mary meeting at one place in the large
and populous Third district, was also an
attack upon the rights of the people TO
have as convenient place as possible at
which to express their will.
ResolUed, That the browning act of po-
litical villainy In the conspiracy to carry
x.sst
of the Democracy of Anne Arundel, was
reached in the first district, where Mil
| ford II. Hill, the representative OF the
State Central Committee, and an en-
ployee of the State Tobacco Warehouse,
deliberately refused TO receive the votes
and motions of the Democrats assembled,
ami with the assistance of one John III.
Jones, declared a set of delegates elected
against the will and majesty OF the
Democrats there assembled.
Rfsolced further, That had such con-
duct as enacted by this man Hill
been attempted In Annapolis 1t
would have been at the peril of the petty
tyrant; that we call upon the Governor
Of the State TO dismiss from Office a mao
so lost to honor and right, and who is
the willing tool of greater conspirators;
and we further ask the Democrats OF
Anne Arundel opposed to the recent
and similar outrages upon ourrights and
| liberties, to meet in Annapolis at q day
future TO be named by the President OF
this Convention to form such an organi:
zation. and to take such action as will
restore to the Democracy fair prima
ries.
On motion of Mr.. George t. Jewell,
the resolutions were adopted unanimous
| ly.
