!?creta,ryship having been read and accepted, Mr. Graham
uarttar moved, and Captain Chipperton seconded, a
lesolution dissolving the club, and directing the return

114(1 ultimately the resolution was carried by a majority.
~M• Graham Cartar then moved and Captain Rad-
-ir„,e seconded. a resolution requesting the National
proposed`
to accept as original members of the
d;,,Constitutional Club members and can,-
..-:!;,ates 'of the late " Junior Conservative Club, '
cruout payment of any entrance fee. Consider Mayer
that the
this resolution in strong terms. ing that
at the National. Union had " succeeded in putting an
ringruisher on the Junior Conservative Club," he thought
th ould be undignified to ask the favour proposed at
th_etr hands. He had no faith in the formation of
, " Constitutional," which had been put on paper
'eiY, as he believed, to give the coup de grace to the
•
Junior Conservative. 7 Alittle tact, vigour, and capital
I'veuld have started the latter club, notwitstanding the
aPosition of a clique. Mr. Harrington supported
Mayer in a long and able speech, in
cu. he gave the history of the Junior Con-

giv„„ was anonymous. In it no secretary's name was
no, no bankers were mentioned, nor was any person
pro to whom subscriptions might be sent. In short, the

c_ differed from the last two speakers. lie thought the
hauhstitutional Club would be established. On a shew of
