WAsmSoTOS d. q Feb Is 1874
MY DEAR Mr.. LAMAR-It is with much surprise tLat
learn the personnel Of the committee on lie suniect
OF finance which has been appointed by you, in pursu
am rightly informed such coEamtie9 cofnprIsss three
members from the State Of ohio and mono Lom the
s ssss ESS q HHs %y Of e%SsEs
pear remarkable, but when it is taken IN connection
With the fact that the greatest commercial State in the
Union and having the largest representation in the
House. Is entirely Ignored, II forces the conviction OF
the existence OF policy which is not publicly an
nounced, aud which, l reluctant 10 bele7e, that
you would secretly maintain 49,,
FOR my part, as an humble representative OF
the state OF New York, my great desire is 20 see a
financial policy adopted broad enough for the people of
All the States OF our Union TO tremendously occupy
But this early discrimination above referred is
apparent to my mind al least, that must respect

REseossE Qg MR. LAMAR.

Hon. EDWIN R. MRADE, Wizards Hotel, &c -
Sn-I have just received your letter Of yesterday
protesting against my action in the appointment OF
committee Of nine ordered BY the last meeting of the
democratic caucus - lsas.sSsst.. z cs-s,
confess that itc tone somewhat surprised me- SO
far from having entirely ignored New York, or from
seeking the adoption OF policy nimical to her inter
ests TO the Views OF her democracy thought that
the appointment Of one Of her members on the Cam
helgn committee, consisting OF only seven members
hair OT
comietee OF thirteen, was full recognition Of her
influence AM position, especially appointed from
with the views of New York on the financial question
1t is true that In making Mr.. Cox chairman OF one
committee and Mr. Hewitt member Of the other
felt constrained reluctantly 10 pass the claims or
the gentleman recommended by you regretted that
the recommendation was not seconded by other mem
bers Of the New York delegation, The appointment by
me OF two-not three-from Ohio is due 70 the fact
that the dversties the financial question: which IL
was desired to reconcile have been in that
State, while in New York so far as am informed,
very little, If any, exists. Twenty eight OF the thirty
seven States had to be ignored, you choose
prdsrod and up Ino Go 81 b mine last
York can suffer at the hands of the gentlemen ap-
pointed Respectfully l. Q G. LAMAR
RESPONSE MR.. MEApR.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb IT. 1876.
Hon. L. @ G LAMAR
sGR-Your favor of yesterday Is at hand and while
am entirely willing to acqut you Of any intention 10
ignore my State, you will readily perceive that the
people OF that State as represented by the public press
ninth Of the population OF the entire country and
even greater proportion Of the material wealth Of that
country, is, in my judgment unwilling to have dele
gated TO other States Its voice in committee Of thir
teen so important question that concerning the
currency OF the country.
Besides, Mr.. Hewitt informs me that you offered him
place on that committee and that he only declined in
favor OF Mr. Ely because he already upon your
Campaign Committed, and thai 1t was understood,
according his mind that Mr. Ely was to 90 upon the
Finance Committee
Very truly yours, E. R MEADE.
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS ON THE FINANCIAL
QUESTION.
The Democratic Joint Conference Committee held a
meeting to-day and ventured fix next Tuesday night
for the of the the subject of the
rency and finance.
