Your Committee has not yet been Informed of sy
meeting Of the State Committee, nor does any nots
appear have been taken of our respectful req1eS
that such meeting should be called by the Chairman
during the prrtont month. Our attempt 10 obtains
formal interview for the purpose ot communicating
with the State Committee has Therefore failed.
Your Committee might rest in communicating tbs

in consideration Of the unanimous sentiments which
perv AIDED the previous assemblage on the lO,h inS
we def this hi occasion 10 suggest that rene"S
expression Of those sentiments be made, 10 dsIIna
and public form. The purposes and motives OF our
selves and of those WITH whom net, shouli. in oar
judgment be set forth with coamesS sEd decision.
The chief desire Of those Democrats " ho convened

The members of the meeting Of the 10Th MAY wcs

there and are among us the admirers and fneots
of each of those distinguished statesmen whose claims
