Beuiocrotlc State Executive Com mittee. At the meeting of the State Committee on the 2d inst. it was resolved that the next ty, appointed by authority of the Reading Convention, is rich rare and racy. Their views with regard to the power of the Com mittee seems to be rather mixed. If it will consent to do what they want it to do at Cres son, then they will agree that it is clothed with ample power to speak and act for the party But if it refuse to do so then they will contend that it has no authority which authorizes it to act in the matter, and tbat noth ing it may do will be bindiDg on the party under the circumstances. Most excellent logic certainly. Of course the Committee will treai the entire proceedings of the meet ing with contempt. J. B. Sansoin. Esa.. an ardent friend of I w A .
