After the meeting was called to order by
Judge Mason, Hon. T. B. Fioreuce suggested
| that as Congress was in session they could
make Arrangements 10 have addresses deiiv
| cred each meeting, and he therefore suggested
bers of Congress to address the association.
| Mr.. J. D. Lskenan thought the suggestion O
good one, as IL would give vim to the meetings
and encourage the members OF the associa-
Upon the motion of DR.. T. G. Clayton, Mr..
Florence was appointed to wait upon the
members Of Congress and invite them to ad-
dress the association.
Mr.. Samuel Brereton moved that as the or
ganizaton Was to be permanent, a list OF mem.
bers be made out and that IL be made inc nm bent
npon them to contribute 25 or so cents eacn per
month to defray the current expenses of the
association.
Mr. Florence was opposed to the motion
because 1t would tend to keep gentlemen away
from the meetings. He thought that the least
embarrassment would always secure the
largest attendance. He was under the inpres.
sion that Mr.. b. proposition could not be car
ried into effect according to the provisions OF
the bylaws of the association.
Mr.. Brereton withdrew his motion, but gave
notice that at the next meeting he would move
TO amend the by la Ws so as to make each MEM
ber pay monthly contribution.
MIR. Clampitt said he desired toofer reso-
luton which would meet the appreciation OF
every one, and reach the hearts OF the Democ-
Tacy of tie District.
Mr.. Clau ulpitt then offered a resolution for the
benefit of the Constitutional Union, and author
iziEg the appointment of committee to collect
a sum of money to be rendered to the editor Of
the Union as a Christmas present. Adopted.
The Chair then appointed a committee, con-
sisting OF two gentlemen from each ward of the
city aud three from Georgetown, to carry out
the provisions of the resolution
Mr.. Clampitt from the committee appointed
at a former meeting to draft a series OF resolu-
tons as basis for the future action of the as
sOciaton, stated that the committee had the
matter under advisement, but would be unable
TO report until next meeting.
After an explanation by the President that
the debts of the old association had been liqui-
dated, the meeting adjourned.
