A Letter from Senator Vest.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Vest has
sent to each member of the Missouri delegation
in congress the following letter relating to the
recent conference for the division of the patron
age:
MY DEAR SIR-Notwithstanding the fact that
the informal conference of our delegation, re-
Gently held, at the request of members of the
house. was agreed to be in mutual confidence,
reports of its proceedings were Immediately
ored as to make the iInnression that the sena.
tors arrogated the right to dispose of all the
Missouri patronage except as to local Offices. So
deavored to discharge only the duties in regard
to patronage which my position absolutely
enloins- and stated to the conference that the
the house would not go back to their homes
and tell every disappointed applicant that the
truth would be stated that the senator's were
simply representing the delegation at its re-
quest, and would do the best they could for ali
parts of the state And do not propose to at
tend any other conference under any circum-
stances. deem it just that all concerned should
know that I disclaim any responsibility for
anything connected with appointments in
Missouri except what result from my own
action. and will not undertake to represent
any of my colleagues or the delegation collec-
lively. II any member of the delegation feels
an interest in any appointment he must attend
to the matter in person and resume the respon-
sibility. The proceedings of the conference
have teen given to the pu bile with such color
ing, and with motives obviously sinister, that
am compelled to act for myself and not for 9TH
ers. 1 do not know the person who furnished
the information to the newspapers. and am
not therefore able to address him alone My
object in this communication is to deal frankly
with my colleagues and to protect myself: Very
truly, etc., G. G. VEST.
