Contrary to expectations, the meetin

Committee-last Saturday morning
all the members present either in persol
or by proxy-was devoid of any wrsng
ling, and everything passed off quietly
J. Edward Al dicks offered no objection
whatever to the proposition submitted
by DR.. g. R. Layton, to be presented Il
the Regular Republican State Commit
tee, and, in fact, seconded DR.. Layton
motion for the adoption of the letter.
The control Of the meeting was con.
clusively in the hands Of Senator Alice,
and many were the congratulations
shOwered upon him, after the meeting,
over the harmonious condition ofaffairs.
The committee was in session a little
Overa an hour Addicks and Alice failed,
however, to recognize each other in the
corridor of the Hotel Richardson, at
which place the meeting was held.
