EDITOR OF THE PLANET:
Please give me space in your paper

Browne in Hampton on the evening of
Dec. Atm, and reads, Mr.. f. ID. Banks

$50 600. 90"
The Reformer's report is entirely
mistaken. No motion to Sustain was
submitted, at that meeting.
The only performance that bore re-
sen1blance TO motion and vote, came
of MIR. Browue's asking, near the close
OF his address for all True Reformers
to rise In response I rose with all in
that meeting who protested to be True
Reformers. He seated the Reform
ers and then called for Mitchellites'
to stand. At the call for 'Mitchellites

having elected TO be known by any
such name.
