MR. ROOT INTRODUCED.
General Swayne called on Elihu Root to ex-
plain the objects of the meeting, and Mr. Root
did so in speech that was thoroughly earnest
and forcible. lie said among other things:

Mr. Root then outlined the plan of reorganiza-
ton adopted by the Committee of Thirty. the
fundamental idea of which, he said, was to
abandon the Assembly District organization and
to substitute Election District organizations in
each OF the 140 districts. The merits Of the
plan he said, We're that every man could find
his place a worker near his own home and
that young men could secure recognition as
leaders. Continuing, he sad
