tiyes Of their constituents and, in sheer compassion Ot
thc people NCw-Jcrsey, appoint The members ot tho

Mr.. FIELDS LAST WORD.
APPEAL TO THE BAR ASSOCIATION.

APPEAL TO THE BAR ASSOCIATION.
70 the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Your paper of to-day contains what Is
called "rejoinder" from your correspondent In SIX
columns made up in great part OF reiterations and
amplifcations Of his former articles
MY first impulse was TO follow him into the news
rapers and reply through the same channel in which
the attack made going into full detail answering
paragraph by paragraph, and showing. as is easy ls
uter want OF foundation. But seeing that he closes
with promise to take that my conduct is "inves
Gated before a body OF men who cannot be deceived
nv small tricks and petty evasions" by which suppose
4 meant that he will have it Investigated before the
Rar Association and rejecting that after all the proes
sons tribunal the true one, and that such tribunal
has been created for both, think it more decorous
% wait reasonable period for its action. He shall have
This Investigation with all my heart. demand it as
earnestly as be can seekit 1t my purpose at the
next meeting Of the Association to call its attention TO
bis newspaper attack and TO challenge him to lay his
complaint before the proper committee.
The Association was organized only short time ago
for the mutual advantage of its members and well to
protect them from unfounded attacks to maintain the
purity and dignity of the profession. AS member, it
was his duty enoined by every instinct OF professional
honor to prefer any charge against fellowmember De-
sre that body instead OF assailing him In the public
,-nts It's rules require complaints by one member
AGAINST another 70 be made TO Committee constituted
Cor the purpose He who mas assaied me now In -FOUR
,sen columns of daily newspaper, might long ago have
hroueht all his grievances before this proper tribunal
and have had them fully examined
He has. however, chosen to wait and to defame me
beforehand in the press have only to await his
complaint before the body which we both belong re-
serving 10 myself the right Of such further action here
after as may be proper. DAVID DUDLEY FIELD
