EXECUTIVE SESSION DEMANDED.
Immediately after the reading OF the
| minutes OF the last session a motion was
made TO 20 into executive session. This
was opposed by Mr.. II. NJ. Tyler. wha
said that he did not think there was
anything to come up which the public
should not know. The same view Of the
case was taken by Messrs. Morris and
Winston. A viva vcce vote was taken
on the motion. and by the sound the
sentiment seemed evenly divided.
! Mr.. Morris demanded an aye and noe
| vote, and five members seconded MS ue-
mand. The committee decided 10 go
into executive session by vote Of to
s. the chairman Of the organization cast
ing his vote in its favor.
The vote being duly announced. the
chairman requested all who were not
members Of the committee to retire. the
doors were securely closed, and for near
! ~ two hours Il "star-chambcr" meeting
was in progress.
| Many speeches were made. the stridens
tones Of the eloquent orators penetrating
10 the distant room where the reporters
sat waiting for the decision Of the com
| mittee.
ALL EXCLUDED.
! Shortly after 10 o'clock the COMMITTEES
[ adjourned, and the doors were thrown
open. II was then announced that =
| resolution had been passed excluding
| from the sessions OF the committee al.
newspaper reporters and all strangers.
| provided. however that the same might
| be admitted by d majority vote OF tho
| committee.
This action on the part Of the COM
mttoe was in the nature OF a compromise.
A number Of its members. who are known
TO be rampant on the question Of free
silver. were strongly I'm favor Of eNclud-
ing The Times alone from the meetings
Of the committee. on the claim, made at
a previous meeting. that it Is not a
Democratic journal because IN is not sup
porting the nominees Of the so-cslleG
Democratic Convention at Chicago
There are on the committee. however
number Of level headed men Of intel
ligence and just perceptions. and theis
handiwork is evident I'm the impartial de-
| cision arrived at
Coupled with the resolution given above
was an addcndum which instructs the sec
retary 10 give out 10 the press whatever
the committe shall deem proper TO allow
the public 10 know.
