MR. BALDWIN MUCH IN EARNEST.
Mr.. Baldwin refused yesterday TO discuss his
plans for reorganization OF the party. or to say
what recommendations he would offer TO the COM
mttee for adoption

make a report which will be acceptable 70

the condition which now prevails ana also KNOWS
exactly what is necessary TO remedy the deiee.s. a
