been unjustly and slanderously assail-
ed by the Tallahassee True Democrat

hibition; and,
"Whereas, That while our camp is
non-partisan and non-political, we feel
it incumbent upon us to repel unjust
charges, and to defend the character
OF our members; and,
"Whereas, The following publication
appeared in the columns Of the Talla-
hassee True Democrat. to-wit:

test in Marion county. He holds abso-
lutte sway in his little particular com.

vain. There are but few stronger sa.
loon sympathizers in the state. \
