GREAT ENTHUSIASM AT THE MEETING.
The Bar Association Of this city did its duty
nobly last night and set its seal Of dsapprovaj
most emphaticaly on Judge Isaac II. Maynard
and the disreputabe part which he took in the
legislative steal last fall. The report of a Demo-
cratic committee severely censuring Democratic
Judge of the highest court in the State and rec
ommending that he be removed Hom
office soon after hot campaign In
which the officer censured had performed
important duties for the party the repreFehtar
tives of which ccnsured him, was adopted WIN
practical unanimity by one Of the largest ana
most representative asscnblsges which have ever
been seen in the rooms Of the Bar Association.
As was foreshadowed in The Tribune, Tammany
tried its best to prevent the passage OF the reso-
lutions condemning Judge Maynard, and in this
business was represented in the person
of ex-Judge Nelson j. Waterbury. He tried
to prevent any action by the association by deciar-
ing that the proceedings were being taken con-
trary to the method prescribed in such cases
in the bylaws of the Association, but he
signally failed His point was that subjects
such as that must according to the bylaws, be
sent TO the Committee on Grievances and he began
TO read the bylaw in question. He got to the part
where it said in express terms that the bylaw ID
question only applied to actions taken aSalhse
members of the bar practising in this Judiciat
district" and when he read this the iaughter Ok
those present drowned further remarks linen
tho Tammany buster appeared, and the speaker
declared that the committee was packed
MAYNARD TOO MUCH FOR THEM.
Tammany had not been able, however, to procure
MANY members of the bar who were Wiling
to 90 before the association and espouse the cause
of Judge Maynard, because there were not score
at the outside in the small cotere around Delos
McCurdy and John NJ. Bowers, who voted against
the report being adopted. Mr.. Bowers made the
only speech in favor Of Judge Maynard, and his
whole argument was a rehasb Of the statement
made by Judge Maynard, which has already been
published
William A. Jenner moved the adoption OF tho
report. and Stephen P. Nash seconded the motion.
When the question put there was greas
roar Of voices, and when the president called 1or
the contrary votes only a few voices came from
the neighborhood of the rear where Alr. bowers

signed by all the members of the committee, and
there was not dissenting opinion OF any kind
