our committee would respectfully
Emmend to the Convention the pro-
by Of at once republishing the pro
lings of this body, in pamphlet form.
presume any Office in the Association
ld be willing to do the work at actual
of labor and material. The pro
lings proper would make a pamphlet
Rom 81 to 4S pages; but, if the es-
!, poems and orations are to be incln-
, and we think they should, it would
snd the pamphlet over 100 pages, and
cost would be about $3.50. We re-
mend that any money now in the
sury be applied in this direction, and
the members be requested to pay
b the sum of one dollar additional for
purpose. Also, that a special com
tee be appointed with full power to
tract for and superinteDd the publica-
