Mr. Wheeler to the position he occupies and who
beseged b m with solicitations for preferment for them

unsatisfactory TO them, IL is satisfactory 70
all who hope for beneficial result from the
labors OF the Convention, aud reviyes the
hope that the people may, after all, secure from
this body the reforms OF which they stand much In
need. The committee is as significant from the
omitted from it from those which on It. Greeley

Neither OF the Brookses named Ex-senator Harris
IL chairman and among the members are Waldo HctcA-
ins Samuel j. Tilden, Henry Murphy, Judge Paige,
Secreary or State Ballard ex-Judge Comstock and
ex-Comptroller Sanford T. Church. There is nothing
partisan in the character OF the committee and as il Is
OF the most important that will be raised during the
Convention, deciding will the whole order OF BUSH
ness the number and character OF standing committees
and the practical working Of the Convention 1t is well
coined evidence OF the presiding officer to do all in
his power 10 secure good constitution without regard
