QUESTION OF PUBLICATION.

There then ensued quite a discussion
as to whether the letter should be given
out for publication. Mr.. Curtis moved
that the reporters be requested not TO
publish anything In connection with the
letter. He said he was a close friend 10
Mr.. Meredith. but he regretted that any
such letter had ever been written. and
thought had that gentleman been in his
usual health he would never have sent it,
The motion was adopted.
Mr.. Miles NJ. Martin asked a recon-
sideration of the vote by which the mo-
ton passed This was granted. He then
said: THE desertion OF any ono man
could not sink the Democratic ship" He
had no doubt the letter was already
down on Bank street.
Mr.. Smith said he sincerely desired the
letter to be published. He knew that
Mr.. Meredith had not written the letter
hastily. He wished the public TO know
that they had done right in their action
in regard TO the resignation. and said
II was fortunate for Mr. Meredith that
the letter had not been read before the
resignation had been accepted He moved
that Colonel Bigger be requested to give
the press the letter. This Colonel Bigger
said he did not care 10 do until he knew
that Mr.. Meredith wished the letter pub
lished, and he did not consider that the
communication was the property of the
club. He was upheld in this, and Mr..
Curtis's motion was then laid on the
table, leaving the reporters to act as they
chose in regard to the discussion about
the letter. The club, after deciding to
meet every Monday night until after the
election, adjourned
The Dispatch reporter at the conclu-
sion OF the meeting saw Mr.. Meredith at
his house. and gained his consent to pub
lish the letter Colonel Bigger upon be-
ing informed Of this. willingly gave up
the communication.
