 The Moseley Committee.
 The Moseley committee met in the Hammer building, corner of Eighteenth street and Second avenue. There was considerable discussion, as usual, but the only business transacted was the select ing of two campaign committeeman, T. H. Aldrich and l.. E. Parsons, to cooper ate with the populist committee.
 Vaughan Committee.
 The Vaughan committee met in the Jackson hall, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. As at the Moseley meeting, there were only a few whites present, and about thirty negroes When the reporter called the pop committee of conference was just entering the build ty,pr nra6 hrrn fNx. |. hall like cat after a mouse. On reach ing the ante-room Chairman Kolb gave an ordinary alarm al the inner door, when voice from the inner guard said, 'Who comes dar?" The door was left a little ajar and Chairman Kolb whispered something that the reporter could not un- derstand to the inner guard. It could not have been the password as the door was again closed and the alarm sounded on the inside, whereupon Chairman Vaughan appeared and held a short pri- vate consultation with Chairman Kolb. The reporter was asked to retire, as some thing of serious nature might possibly happen, and was told that what informa- tion the public is entitled to would be fur nished later. The inner door was again opened and the inner guard after taking @ full view of the committee and re- porter exclaimed, Bless God, I nebber spected to see dis! Such fine looking white mems, and is you all populites? FOre GOQ neDDer SpeCteu ulS. IHe re- porter left before things got too mellow, and is unable to give the color of the happenings.
 Mr Vaughan says the national conven- tion is the fountain head of the party law, and the decision reached in the seat ing of the contesting state and district delegates will determine the regularity of the committees. He says his commit tee appointed no conference committee of any nature, but did appoint commit tee of three to notify the populist com mittee that they would not select cam paign committeeman until after the na- tional convention, nor take any other action relative to the county or state campaign.
 The state executive committee of the Vaughan faction is called to meet in the law office of the chairman, in this city, June 23.
