THE GOVERNOR.
What The EHseutivS Committee Of
1ariOn County Says.

The Marion County Democratic exc
cutive committee does not intend that
| the public shall be misinformed con-
corning its position in the matter of the
recent appointment of county Judge
for that county, and has adopted the
following resolutions on the subject:
| Be it resolved at this, a regular call
ed meeting of the Marion County Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, called
for the express purpose of taking ac-
ton in regard to the recent appoint
ment of county judge by Governor
| Broward:
/. That it is with regret that we
| find it necessary as representatives of
the Democratic masses of Marion coun-
| ty, to censure the Governor of Florida.
whom we only q short time ago elected
as a democrat TO hold the high and
honorable position that he now Occu-
pie, for exercising undemocratic pre-
negatives.
9 AS executive committeeman from
the great county Of Marion, we feel
that we should be recreant to the trust
reposed In US by our democratic con-
stituents were we to fail to take no
tice of and resent the unjustifiable and
undemocratic action of Governor
BrowRrd In forcing a county judge
upon us against our will and very
much against us as a party organiza-
ton.
8. AS one of the largest counties of
the State, with an element that might
be used against the democratic party
in the future we feel that our organi-
zed democracy should be upheld and
strengthened, rather than weakened
and made the laughing stock Of by
independents and Republicans, as Is
now the case, caused by Governor
BrowRrd's unwgrranted action In his
resent appointment IN our county.
I. That we believe that Marion
county Democrats know whom they
officials better than any man outside
Of the cOuny, though this man may
be the governor Of our state.
5. That we know that the COnstitu-
ton permits the governor TO I'LL certain
official vacancies by appointments, yet
when he does 70, a. In our case, under
considerations refusing TO let the demo-
crazy be heard from, throttling the
voice Of the people; he ignores demo-
cratic precedents and tTamples upon
the foundation Of all true democratic
principles the voice Of the people.
And though we cannot change his re
cent appointment, we can and do re-
rent the insult and sting given to every
loyal Democrat in our county and State
the stab in the back by one who we
should have least expected this stroke
in favor of ''independentism."
6. That these resolutions be given
publicity through our county papers.
