to
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 7. James
Vertrees was recommended for nation
al committeeman in a resolution pass
cd by the convention this afternoon
just after the platform had been adopt
ed. The resolution was submitted
the platform committee and by it sent
to the convention through Chairman
W. H. Washington. It was adopted
unanimously with a snout. The reso
lution is as follows:
Whereas, R. E. L. Mountcastle, of
Knoxville, Tenn., the member of the
national democratic committee recent
ly presided over a political convention
which indorsed a republican candidate
for gover of Tennessee and approved of
that convention's action, and openly
supports that candidate; and
"Whereas, The officials representing
the organization of a political party
ought, under all circumstances, to be
faithful, trustworthy and loyal; and,
"Whereas, It is the right of every
citizen in good faith to change his poll
cies and party nfllliations, but not the
right of any party omcial to do so and
openly aid and abet the political op
ponents he was elected to oppose with
out resigning ins position in the or
ganization; and,
"Whereas, Mr. Monntcastle has per
sisted in remaining committeeman,
nolhw ithstanding Iris unfaithful ac
tion, thereby giving, as far as possible,
seeming official endorsemen to that ac
tion it is for this reason now:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that R. E. L. Mount-
castle has been unfaithfnl to his trust,
and that the welfare of the democracy
of Tennessee demands his removal,and
accordingly we demand that a demo
crat be selected in his place and stead,
before another presidential election,
and that this resolution be forwarded
by the chairman of this convention to
the chairman of the national demo
cratic executive committee, and we
suggest the name of Hon. James J.
Vertrees for this position."
