On motion the report was adopted.
There beng dcal"th of action in
the business of the convention, Bro.
Kanouse explained the rules relative
to the participation III the business
that should come before rs for
transaction, to the effect that all
members of the order may have a
voice III all matters, excepting the
election OF officers, on questions Of
finance, and time and place OF hold
ing next convention.
On motion the special order, cleo
ton and installation of officers, was
taken up. Some were OF the opin-
ion that the order of business should
be left till the morrow, for then all
the lodges of the county would prob
ably be represented, while others
argued for immediate action; those
lodges not represented would III flu
tulity see to 1t that their delegations
were present at the opening of con-
vcntion if this were the procedure !:
also those delegates who were not
interested in being at the opening,
would most likely feel little interest
III this order; the motion prevailed !;
the convention proceeded to the
election Of officers for the ensuing
year, the result being asIollows;
