sinclair Tonsey-wlthout entering into discussion
which ight question Of the Jurisdiction on the
mart Of the State Committee interfere in the local
affairs Of any county OF the Statewavng that for the
time being and inasmuch the charges brought before
che body, are. as is stated, sort Of Indictment
against US dealing in generals and not IN particulars, IL
occurs 10 that the proper to dispose ei the mat
Ger TO refer it TO Special Committee for con
alteration answer, it may be- without calling this com
mittee together again. move thata Committee OF three
be appointed by the Chair 10 whom the whole matter
shau be referred.
Mr. Bittenband seconded the motion.
Nj Merritt think the latter part Of the proposition
may be struck out.
Presdent-sha they have the power TO determine the
matter without another call OF this Committee?
Mr. GrdleyI understand the motion TO be to refer it
60 a Committee 10 answer these charges
The Chairinan-It would give them the power Of
uwering without calling the Committee together.
Mr. Grdley-I think it is necessary that this Commit
Tee should meet the first Thursday in February and
port.
Charman-The motion strike out the power which
Is plainly claimed by TIE Committee Of acting without
cur approval.
Mr.. Gndey-I TO strike out the power thus given.
Mr.. Rtterband-I am in favor Of the motion made
BY Mr. Tousey; / believe lie has maturey considered
this matter And in the shape he put it, think the
tou should be adopted am willing to leave 10
the Committee the whole consideration OF this most
rnarkable communication, and they shall see fit 20
suggest further meeting OF this Committee very good
IL they shall fit 10 answer the so-ealled
charges, / am willing 10 leave it TO the Com
mittee, and TO be bound by their action.
AS Mr. Tousey suggested, it may perhaps
be better that the whole subject should take that
than that should debate ii here tonight The sub
of the communication, the very communication
itself might say, is to was not aware Of the
character OF these charges; in fact
that direct charges these had been made
could be made; satisfied that this communication is
surprise 10 three-quarters Of members. hardly
think that single reading Of it would put in posi-
discuss with profit to ourselves; and therefore
in favor Of its being referred to the Committee sug
gested by Mr.. TOusey.
Mr. Merritt have the highest respect for the Chair
and knOg the Committee he would appoint would
give great satisfaction.
Greeey-I wish it TO be understood that neirer the
State Subcommittee have Endorsed these charges
They simply say 1.-THE representation have been made 10
us and they only want TO know what we have 70 say in
reply TO them II Is perfectly right they should call
attention TO 1t. II they suppose were corrupt
ganizatOn, or connected with Tammany Hall
Mr.. Tousey said he did not ask that this Committee
should Dc clothed with 10 patch up harmony but
simply that they should reply N the of the Com
Inittee.
MI Stewart moved that the Committee be increased
from three TO five.
Cen John Cochrane-I would like 10 say word as TO
the proper method Of meeting these suggestions Of
.s..H.
tive body Of the Republicans of the City County OF
New-YOrk. don't wish 20 detain the Committee for
