You all know the object of this meeting. Some
months ago our King left for tour round the
world, followed by the best wishes of his country
men. He took his course to California and thence
westward round the world and the tdlngs have
come to us by telegraph of the uniform courtesy
with which he has been received wherever he IS
gone. His bearing and greeting have been o
ceived with enthusiasm. We followed him with
pride to the East and to Great Britain, where he
was received with all the honOrB of an independent
King, and this pride is the as though he were
King of millions, instead of thousands. In our
appreciation of other nations it will not do for us
to be behind them in the welcome he has received.
He would therefore call the meeting to order and
propose that tho Hon. c. Il. Bishop take the chair.

carried unanimously.
