the proper representation of our state in
the great international exhibition.
At a meeting of the undersigned as
this executive committee, held At Rut
land, on Monday, Dec. 27, for consulta.
ton, and after careful consideration Of
the subject, they concluded to submit to
the members Of tho General Assembly
the following suggestions Believing
that the credit and fair fame of our state
is in jeopardy, and not desiring to take
the responsibility of representing it in so
important matter without authority or
funds, they deem it proper that the Legis.
lature should act in tho premises, and,
therefore, appeal to The members thereof
for an expression Of opinion in reference
to the converting Of the General Assembly
in special session.
If it shall be the general wish of the
members of the Legislature that the state
be creditably represented at the coming
Centennial, this committee will at once
wait upon His Excellency Governor Peck
and request him to call the Legislature
together for the purpose of taking such
action aud making such appropriation as
they shall deem sufficient to enable Yer.
mont to maintain her true position among
the other states represented at this world
renowned exhibition,
The Importance of such a representa-.
ton Of our Green Mountain State must
impress itself upon the minds of all her
thoughtful citizens. A failure to have
our agricultural, mechanical, manufactur.
ing and all other industrial interests pro.
perly represented, would be a disgrace in
the eyes Of our sister states and the civi.
liked world.
Can Vermont, at the end of hundred
years Of national existence consent to
stand before the world as unable, or un.
willing, to repre- ont herself at this great
G herring of the pltlons? Our history,
oul honor, our SCI respect and our pat.
riotism Should forbid it.
This committee, therefore, suggest the
following plan; That each officer and
member of the Senate and House should
attend the special session without expense
to the state.
The committee take pleasure is saying
that they have had an interview with
