| Text | An unofficial invitation from the League to the American Association to appoint a conference committee to meet a similar committee from the League for the purpose of trying to adjust difficulties, was properly rejected. The Association would consider nothing of the kind which bore no official mark about it. Thus forced to show their hand, the League did the manly thing, and next day laid the proposition before the Convention in an official form. Even then we are sorry to say the plan had its opponents and bitter adversaries. It looked at one time as though the Association was bound to make a crowning and fatal mistake in snubbing the League in turn, and as the word goes, “Declaring war to the knife.” It had been represented by the telegraph that the proposed conference had been defeated on Wednesday by a tie vote and that the Cincinnati Club voted against the conference. Immediately on Thursday morning the Directors in this city got together and sent a telegram to their New York Delegate begging him to throw the vote of the club in favor of the conference. This telegram reached New York as the reconsideration was being voted upon, and the Cincinnati Club's vote was recorded with the majority—St. Louis alone, with its persistent obstinacy standing out against it.
