MADISON. WIS. July Goth, 1884

MADISON, Wis, July 2Oth, 1854.
Hon. r. II. Henry, jackson, Miss:
DEAR SIR-I was unable TO give
that consideration to the appoint
ment of committee pursuant to the
order of the resolutions adopted
upon your motion on the 10th OF
July, which the Importance of the
matter seemed to me TO demand,
and, as you know, l asked and OBJ
tanned leave to appoint the commit
tee at a later day.
The resolution did not name the
number of the committee, and it
seems, therefore, to be left to the
discretion OF the Chairman. 1t is
usual to appoint committees of as
many persons as there are States,
and in order that the presentment
of these resolutions should lack
nothing of the dignity which their
import demands, it seems to me that
the committee should be composed
of one from each of the States. j
have therefore designated you as the
Chairman of the com mittee and the
member from the State of Mississip.
pi, and have appointed one from
each of the other States. enclose
complete list of the committee as
so appointed.
also enclose certified copy OF
the resolutions, furnished to me by
the official stenographer, Mr.. Dick
inson.
These resolutions require to be
suitably engrossed, and then to be
presented. ! suppose that the duty
of procuring their engrossment de
wolves upon the committee, although
the expense of it ought to be borne
by the Chicago Finance Committee
and doubtless will be on application
to them.
leave it to you, therefore, as
Chairman of the committee, to take
such steps as you should think
proper to procure the engrossmen'
of the resolutions and to present
them to the persons to whom they
were ordered to be presented, eithel
by letter or in person, as you ant
the committee shall see fit.
l would suggest that, if you have
occasion to write to Chicago, Hon
C. p. Kimball of Chicago, is Chair
man of the finance committee, ant
Hon. S. Corning Judd, the presen
member of the National Executive
Committee.
Respectfully yours,
WIN. +. Villas.
