IN HERALD-The account as given by
your correspondent in last weeks HERALn
of the meeting OF the Independent party on
the 9jh inst is correct as far as it goes, but II
don't 20 far caough It has been ascertain
ed from the most reliable sources that the
following resolution was introduced and
unanimously rejected:
EcsaiTef, That we heartily sympathize
with the seven Democrats on the outside,
and that We invite them into the shop to
participate in our deliberations
This provoked quite an animated discus
sion The first speaker said as our sympa-
thics are with them he could see no solid
reason why they shouldn't be admitted.
The second speaker, quite overcome, said
the only objection he had to their admission
was their dishonesty, and their training un-
der Boss Cofiroth He called attention to
the fact that the caucus had already adopted
4 resolution affirming their honesty, and by
admitting members OF a corrupt party they
would stultify themselves and BRING reform
out the fact that if they were admitted they
could ou;vote as aud thus Illustrate all our
efforts at civil service reform. This seemed
the weighties; argument thus far produced,
and many of the members were visibly af-
fcc;cd. Another speaker, fuii Of suppress
ed emotioos, proposed to admit them on
probation, when the whole audience bounc-
ed ON their feet solemnly protesting against
converting reform caucus into common
Methodist meeting. which settled him for
the remainder Of the evening After order
was restored, one of the older and more ex-
perienced-one who had trained under the
old Boss in former days-inquired whether
the corrupt fellows had any desire 10 come
into caucus where honesty reigned Su-
preme, and suggested that the chair appoint
him committee 10 inquire into the matter,
which was done as he requested
While this discussion was going on with
in the caucus, some of Camerons tools were
around on the outside, with their pockets
lined with corruption funds and proposed to
set il Up. Now when the committee found
them they were all behind board pile tai =
ping = KEY, and cheering most yociierously
for the old Boss, and swearing that if ever
Don, the young Boss, would rGn fog Office,
they would support him to man. When
the committee returned TO the caucus shop
very reluctantly, however, as he had full
view OF the kec-naIe a report in accord
ance with the above facts, and moved an
immediate adjournment. The president,
however, first took vote on the resolution
which was rejected. The meeting then ad
j"urned, many Of the members being en-
tirely overcome.
