HOW ARE DELEGATES APPorNTEDP
Mr.. Wilson, OF the Fairfield County Agricultural
Society, asked for Information regarding the man.
ner IN which delegates received their authority.
He thought that the mere presentation Of blank
wherein names were inserted, and having the sig
natures of certain officers whom but few knew,
was q loose way OF doing business, and rather In
slnuated 1t wasn't the right way.
Mr.. Vail, OF Hartford, responded for the Secre.
tary, and advised that the latter gentleman had
prepared blanks and sent them to all the members
OF the association, ana that these being returned
properly signed and with the names OF
stamp them as genuine This little breeze
over, the Convention proceeded to appoint q
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
Mr.. kynders nominated Mr.. X. G. Barker. OF De-
neat speech in favor of MIR. G. W. HUTCHINSON of
Utica, whom ne nominated. The latter gentleman
was elected WITHOUT dissenting voice, and, upon
taking his seat, thanked the delegates for the
honor and hoped that harmony and good win
would characterize their work, which was very im.
pOrtant
