An eminent Mason to day showed a
responsible gentleman a newly printed
list of the members of Lexington Lodge,
No. /, issued since the meeting in qUes-
ton. remarking as he did so:
'Masons are not permitted to divulge
the secrets of the lodge room. I cannot
say whether Col. Breckenridge was ex-
PEELED from u lodge or not. but here
is a complete list of the present mem
bership, and you IA see for yourself
who are members"
An examination of the printed roll
showed Col. Breckinridge's name to be
missing, and the circumstances attend
ing the printing of the list and it's dis
play are conclusive proof that the Ash
land district Congressman has been
dropped by the Masons.
