The Meetlng.
About one hundrod and flfty people
gathered ln Sanger Hall at 0 o clock yes?
terday aiternoon. All of them wore vot
era 01 tno county anu all ot inern stauuch
Democrats and adnerents of tho party
as ropresenied v&y lnp- Biate Cwuraa
Commlttea.
lt is d. -i.niflcant fact that soveral of tho
membora of tho County Cotnmitteo, wno,
ln a muiunty report, owned aiiegluuco
to tho Stato body, were present ana took
prominent part ia the muottiia. Mr.
Edward L.. Ryan, a young attorney, wtio
waa deteaied by two voies for the oillco
of county chairman, was chosen to pre
sldo over the gathering and Mr. E. L
Kellain, also a meraoer of the Couuiy
Commlttee, was made aecrotary.
Sevoral acJdreases were dellvered, fn
cludlng one from Mr. Brauor hlmsolf.
Every part of the county was repro
sentcd, and tho greatest enthusiasm was
manlfestod. Plans for conducting tho
campaign were diacuaaed and a commlt?
tee was appolnted from each preclnct
to carry on the flght ln lts respectlve
terrltory. The aituation wa? gone over
aa a whole and provlalon waa made for
every contingency that may arlao, indl
catlng that it fa the purpose af the treas
urer to make a flnlsh flght of lt. Be?
fore the meetlng adjourned tho followlng
resolutlons, whlch fully explaln the pur
poses of the gathering, were adopted:
We, Democratlc citlzens of the county
of Henrico, reapectfully requeat all Dem?
ocratlc oitlzena of the county of Henrico,
to aupport Mr. Wllllam H. Brauer, the
only regular and true Democratlc nomi
| nee for the offlce of treaaurer ln aaid
county. ?
Tho State DemocraUc Commlttee on Oc?
tober 2, 1903. having unanimously paased
tho followlng resolutlon: (Here follow
the resolutlons adopted by that body
hcrotoforo printed.) ?
It ls our duty as loyal Democrats hav?
ing the Interest of the party at heart,
rather than the Interest of any one man
to aocept tho declsion of tho Stato Dem?
ocratlc Commlttee. tho highest nuthorlty
ln the Democratlo party, and it having
doclared that Wm. H. Brauer, Is the reg?
ular Democratlc candidato for trcasirrer,
we are ln honor bourai to support hlm
and by all lawful means hold up iho
banner of Democracy and elect ita can
dldatos.
We call upon all Democratlc voters to
rally around tho Democratlc flag and
carry lts ticket to victory.
We recall the fact that when the county
waa hapelessly Republican, somo of tho
offloos belng flllod by negroes, it w-s
Wllllam H. Brauer, at a personal sacri
fice to himself, who entere dthe fleld as
tho Democratlo nominee for treaaurer,
when nobody else would have the noml
naUon, and by the ald of tho good voters
of Henrico succeeded ln placing Henrico
in the Democratlc ranks. We make thls
appeal to the Democratlc. voters for a
further reaaon; that should the pcop'e
now flghtlng the State Commlttee, suc
ceed in this electlon It would be the cn
tering wedge of the Republican party.
Thefie misgulded people who aro at
tomptlng to run anothor candidate against
the regular Democratlc nominee, Wm. H.
Brauor, are ln our Judgment dolng moro
to wreck tho Democratlo party than If
they openly deolared themselves Repub?
lican. for under the gulso of Democrats
the ya.ro seeklng to elect a man who haa
openly defled the Democratlo party of tha
State and can no longer be termed a
Domocrat.
