MIR. HOLSTER offered the following resolu-
ton:
Resolued, That article five of the constitution
be SO amended as to entite the st. Paul and
Minnesota exposition to the same delegate re-
presentation in this body as county societies.
Mr. Whitluck wanted this matter fully IN
ierstood. Minneapolis bad organized an as
sociatiou, and as an offset st. Paul had organ
lied another society. The question was
whether the State society shall be absorbed.
He wanted to see St. Paul and Minneapolis
90 ahead, and he thought the outside counties
should not vote either society in. The rnral
districts should retain control of the State
society.
MIR. Hollister said he had no hostility to the
State society or any one in offering the resOlu-
ton. st. Paul had held up the State society for
two years, and was ready to do SO again, but
wanted to do SO in her own way.
Mr.. bearing said they had admitted a new
organization from Scott county, with Mr..
Whitlock as president and he did not see why
Ramsey county should not have the same right
as Scott county.
Mr. burlington said he was here at the re-
quest of Gen. Sibley, and thought the dele
gates should understand what this organiza-
ton was. He accordingly read extracts from
the articles of incorporation, showing it's ma
ture and objects. The incorporators were men
largely interested in all of the interests in the
State, and the organization was not local. 1t
has no idea of absorbing or working in antago-
nisu to any other society in the State.
After some further remarks the resolution
was adopted by "a to IL. Similar resolutions
were then adopted relative to the other two
delegations.
1t was then annouced that only those who
paid 81 dues were entitled to vote, and large
number accordingly handed that sum to the
