Republican Mass Meeting at Court House
Monday Sets Another Organization
Afloat on the Political Sea.
cULBERsoNs's ENDORSEMENT WITHDRAWN
BY Executive Committee and the Prize Transferred to
Blanchard.

thority, had been writing letters
in the interest, of candi.
who had not even gone
before the convention for en-.
dorsement, and against the regu.
lar nominee of said convention
and of the Executive Committee.
That since this meeting had been
called for, the county chairman
had called together the Executive
committee, and, by means of
proxies, appointing a new men,
Der; had the committee, over the
protest of members in the minori-
ty, withdraw endorsement from
the regular nominee regularly and
fairly elected at County Republic
can primary and gave it to f.
Blanchard, a man who had not
sufficient popularity to risk his
candidacy in the primary conven-
ton, composed of Republicans,
and partly selected by himself.
The man who thought that the
Executive Committee endorse
ment would not amount to much I;
that his record as postmaster was
all sufficient. / trust that this
meeting will take such action in
this matter that will deter any
one in the future from trying to
disgrace the good name of the
Republican party in old Tom
Green county. (great applause)
After Mr.. Millspaugh's adj
dress, the two letters of Hon.
Henry Terrell to Mr.. Tweedy were
read, also, Mr.. Tweedy's letter of
resignation to Mr.. Richardson
These letters will be found else
where in The Press.
Motion by Mr.. Heitzler that n
committee be appointed on reso-
lutlons, carried. Chair appoints
l.. Heitzler, T. G. Newton and
r. A. Flanagan, committee.
Inside of half an hour the COM
mittee returned with the follow
ing resolutions
Resolved that Joseph Tweedy,
the brains and energy of the Re-
publican party of San Angelo,
has the confidence and esteem of
the Republicans of said county.
Resolved, that the Republic
cans of Tom Green county, in
mass meeting assembled, con-
denim the action of Geo. Richard
son, as county chairman, in de-
serting, without cause, the regu-
lar nominee of the Republican
Primary Convention for post
master, and endorsing f. Blan-
chard for same; a man who ig-
nored the County Executive Com
mittee and did not consider that
their endorsement was necessa-
ry; but, that his record as post
master was all that would be
needed to get him the appoint
ment, and for that reason, did
not, till now, condescend to ask
any thing of the committee; that
the county chairman and such of
the members of that committee
as sustained him, have forfeited
the trust, confidence and respect
of all loyal Republicans, and that
we impeach and remove him from
the honorable position of County
Chairman of the Republican Or
ganization of Tom Green county.
(great applause).
Resolved, that we elect n new
chairman, and grant him the
power to appoint ten committee
men, and that the first duty of
this chairman and committee !
shall be to endorse Frank Gull
bertson for postmaster, as they
are in honor bound to do, and use |
their efforts to the utmost to bring
about his appointment as post |
master at San Angelo.
Resolved, that, if f. Blanchard |
had been wanted for postmaster
that he would have been selected,
and no other; that copy of these
resolutions be sent to President
and the Hon. r. B.
Hawley, Hon. Cecil Lyon, state
chairman, and the San Angelo
papers be requested to publish
these proceedings,
