BE
Clmi nil nil of the Executive Committee De
posed for Cause by a Large Convention
In pursuance of a call by a large
number of democrats from the various
seotions of Washington county, a mass
uieetiuK of the democrats of Washing
ten county was held in the courthouse
at 11:45 a. m , April 30, 1900, aud the
following proceedings were had, to-wit:
Hon. E. J, Baxter was elected chair
man and J. L. Humphrey was elected
secretary of such convention. At said
mass-meeting a resolution was offered,
and unanimously adopted. Said reso
lution was offered by Cy H. Lyle, R.
L. Patton aud J. L. Humphrey, com
mittee, with a bill of particulars attach-ed-thereto',
in the words and figures as
follows, to-wit:
"To the Democrats of Washington
County: The very basis of democracy
is that the voice of the people fairly and
honestly expressed shall rule and all
else is corrupt and corrupting. (2) The
democratic party has always stood, on
its fealty to democratic principles unbi
ased by a republican leader or by re
publican money. (3) One of the prtH
cipal tenets of the democratic party
being tquality among the sovereigns,
that the poorest though he be a hod
carrier, is as much a sovereign as the
monied capitalist and in the councils of
the party the only question should be
is he an incorruptible democrat? (4)
Recognizing the importance of organi
zation to secure the success of the par
ty, yet at the same time the will of the
majority can not be ignored without
violation of one of the most eacred
principles for which the party stands
aud without which the party can not
stand.
It is charged against Geo. W. Willett,
the chairman of the democratic com
mittee of Washington, as follows:
(1) That he bus abused Lis trust and
betrayed his party into this, that in the
interest of certain candidates he has at
tempted to change the chairman in a
unmber of the civil districts of Wash
ington county in a secret and clandes
tine manner and thereby usurptiDg the
power that did not rightfully beloDg to
him and in violation of the old and well
settled regulations of the party.
(2) ihat be has without cause at
tempted to remove or ignore the chair
man in certaiu districts where they had
been appoiuted by himself as the exec
utive chairman and substituted others
in their stead.
When requested time SDd again
by the secretary of the executive com
mittee to be furnished with a list of the
names of the parties composing the ex
ecutive committee of the several dis
tricts of the county he failed to do so.
Therefore we demand that he be re
moved from office as chairman of the
executive committee of the democratic
party of Washington county.

All the changes have been made ar-
bitrarily and without cause within the
I last few weeks aud were not made for
the good of democracy. The men who
were sought to be displaced as chair
men are the truest democrats in the
county and it is apparent that tbe sub
stitutions were made for the pnrposeof
changing the complexion of the com
mittee as between the candidates for
governor and for the further purpose
of putting men in charge of the district
conventions who would do tbe biddiug
of the chairman and attempt to run
rough shod over the democracy of
Washington county."

For the Ninth Civil District of Washington
County, Tenn., in Obedience to the

"Pnrsnaut to the orders of a meeting
of the democratic executive committee
for Washineton county, Tenn , held in

the democratic voters of the Ninth civil

ed to meet in a district primary conven

The democrats of the said Ninth civil

The Contested Delegations.
The Nashville American, though more
or lesa neutral in its choice for govern
or, takea a wise and firm stand on the
question of contesting county delega
Hons,
It says;
" Weakley continues to be included
in the published list of contested coun
ties. There is no contest in that oonn
ty. Patterson has never thought of
making any. UnlesB it be Wilson, no
contest anywhere has been made at his
suggestion. Bond will make no con
test in Weakley. That county's vote
belongs to Cox. There is no ground
for contest iu Giles or Shelby. The
same, we tbitik, is true of Davidson.
Technical and frilolous coutests can
not possibly operate in the interests of
the party, and should not be tolerated,
no matter what candidate or faction
may favor or oppose them. If the par
ty is guided by common sense and com
mon justice it can not go wrong, and
the people will approve it."
All that is asked by Gen. Patterson
is this " common sense and common
justice" extolled by the American. He
has not made bin campaign at tbe ex
pense of party harmony, but in the in
terest of that harmony. When the ex
ecutive committees of the counties have
canvassed the returns of the votes aud
put their seals of approval to these re
turns Gen. Patterson has, in no case,
bolted from the decision and introduced
the harmony destroying contest.
In Weakley there was talk of a con
test upon the part of Judge Bond's ad
herents. Gen, Patterson had nothing
whatever to do with the threat, and if
there be a contest in that county he is
in no way responsible for it.
The Wilson county democratic exec
ntiye committee itself declined to stand
for the open fraud attempted in that
county by tbe governor's prison warden.
The Cox men there having made a con
tract with the Patterson followers vio
lated their faith and endeavored to set
up Cox as the choice bf Wilson. The
executive committee, which the proper
bdy to canvass such returns, decliuei!

I
to recognize the subterfuge as the will
of the democrats of Wilson. This com
raittee, thereupon, called a primary
and the county went overwhelmingly
for Patterson. Thus the Patterson del
egates from Wilson will go to the con
veution with their credentials signed
by tbe body having authority to issue
them.
It is claimed by Cox organs that Fat
terson is contesting Wilson. This is
not true. His delegation will be equip
ped with credentials from the majority
of the executive committee, consequent
ly tbe real contestant of Wilson is Gov.
Cox. -
, It is not necessary to elucidate the
situation in Giles, Davidson and She!
by. Ail Tennessee knows the Cox tricks
used in Giles aud Shelby and how friv
olous and clumsy both of them are. The
state, too, is well aware of the flimsy
nature of tbe governor's pretensions to
Davidson.
The contests, then, iu Wilson, Giles,
Davidson and Shelby, as instituted by
Cox, come with tbe American's categu
ry of "technical and trivolons contests,"
which, according to that journal, "can
not possibly operate in the interest of
tbe party, and should not be tolerated,
no matter what candidate or factum
may favor or oppose them "
With this verdict we thoroughly agree
and we believe the voters of Teuuessee
will in nint upon its observance when
their representatives meet in conven
tion. Commercial-Appeal.

Hon.

Knoxville, Tenn., April 28.-Unicoi,
Sevier and Hancock were the only
counties of the First congressional dis
trict which were not represented today
in a meeting held at Bull's Gap for tbe
purpose of layiug lai3 to secure tbe
defeat of Congressman W. P. Biownlow
for re-electiou. A. J. Frazier of Gr eue-
ville presided, and Dr. A B. Taylor of
Bristol was secretary. Twenty-five re
publicans, representing First district
counties, were present. The meet'ng
decided to issue a call for a mass con
vention to be held at Greeueville ou
June 6. to nominate a republican chu
didatoforoongreBs in the First district.
The resolutions condemn Brownlow
for accepting tbe nomination for re
election from his committee ; also con
demn his alliance with John I. Cox,
and his opposition to the candidacy of
Hon. n. Clay Evans. Another resolu
tion passed called upon the state exec
utive committee to rescind its action in
calling the state convention for so late
a day, and asking a new date not later
than June 15. The meeting cordially
endorsed H. Clay Evans for governor.
It is believed that Hon. A. A. Tavlor
will be the congressional nominee of
this movement.
