ROTATION IN OFFICE.
MIR. Hoag then rose and moved to amend
the bylaws SO that all the officers be elected
annually, to take effect at the next annual
meeting.
Mr.. Ingalls, objected in strong language
He considered the motion only an attempt to
fling dirt at the present members. There
were no rings and no stealing in the manage
ment of the society, the sneers and insinua-
tions Of the Paonee1-P,ese, Notwithstanding
They wanted experienced men to manage
the society; new men would have everything
to learn; there were men on that committee
who had devoted the best part Of
their lives to the interest anc
progress of agriculture and horticulture il
this State and he was tired of the back-hanc
innuendoes. If there was any man though,
to be making money out of the society why
did they not say SO openly and honestly?
Mr.. Whitlock said there were many OBJ
jections against all the officers going out Al
the same time, and should certainly VOTE
against it.
Mr Hoag said that under the old style Of
annual elections the society had been pros
porous, but under the new method they hac
five years of failure. The last years success
was owing entirely to the people of Mime
apolls. They could easily re-elect the COCO
men at the annual election, but they coulc
not then get rid of the worthless ones.
This brought Mr.. ingalls, once more to his
feet, and he characterized the attempt tc
take the whole credit of the success of the
last fair for Minneapolis, an insult to many
men who had devoted time and energy tc
the undertaking and money, too. Success
was owing rather to the elements and the ex.
traordinarily good crops. The motion was
at length put, and lost.
A CENTENNIAL MEDAL.
Mr.. Grimes was then introduced by Mr.
Key. He said he was deputied by the horti
cultural society to offer for their safe keep
ing to this society, the diploma and media
which had been awarded the horticulture
society for their exhibit of 119 kinds of ap
pies. This society had made the exhibit un
aided, and they had succeeded in showing te
the world that Minnesota could produce
fruits. These apples, 119 sorts, were MOI
crabs.
MIR. Whitlock moved vote of thanks tc
the Horticultural Society, not SO much fo1
the token of friendship as for the labor and
trouble they had taken to make 80 good 6
display at the great fair of Minnesota's ca.
liabilities for fruit raising.
Mr.. Harris made an excellent speech, re-
captivating his struggles and efforts in fruit
raising in this State. It was the happies
day Of his life, he said, when he got the sill
yer medal for his exhibits at Philadelphia
three years ago. Minnesota can raise fruit
even for export; he sold this year 600 bush.
els of apples and over thousand pounds OF
grapes, and any other man can do the same
The convention then adjourned.

Immediately after the adjournment it was
announced that the State Dailyman's Asso-
