Inc respect and confidence of the cit

ton, and

VariaDly exercised for the benefit of
certain cliques and candidates, and not
IN me interest of harmony and fair play
10 All parties interested, which action
mas cauSed deep-rooted dissatisfaction
IN The ranks of the Democratic party:

Lon OF such action In issuing the call
iot inc coming primary meetings will
De bitterly resented by the voters, and
may cause disastrous consequences at
the election, it is hereby
Resolved, That this club hereby de-
mands of the Democratic city committee
that, IN issuing the call for the coming
primary meetings, it shall direct that
the judges thereof be selected by the

time OF opening the polls, to the eud
mat the various factions may be repre-
sented on saiG board of Judges, and
mus insure fair play and a harmonious
convention; it is also further

district shall contain more than $50

OF this club is hereby Instructed to
