The following gentlemen were elected
honorary members: d. l.. Hubbard, W. L.
Stevenson, o. G. Scholield ard T. b. Ross.
A,B, White, of the Aatc J?nraqi, moved
the appointment of o committee OF three
to prepare sliding scale OF advertising
rates, according to circulation.
Mr.. Dawson made few remarks on the
motion. He thought method OF dealing
with advertising agents was matter of I'M
portance equal to the rates, and al mis- sug-
gestion an amendment was incorporated in
the original motion, making 1t duty OF
the committee to consider the agents. The
motion, as amended prevailed.
The chair was OF the opinion parliamen-
tary difficulty existed and that the appoint
ment of two committees was necessary.
Mr.. Baker, with others, was OF the belief
that this was mere hair.splitting, and ac-
Cordingly the point was waived by the
chair, and the amended motion was consid.
cred adopted.
Mr.. Dawson moved committee he ap-
pointed, consisting of President Morris,
Rev. J. b. Reed and w. L. Wiley, to pre-
pare resolutions, especially OH the death OF
T. +. Faguc, but also on every other mat
ter demanding attention. The motion pre-
vailed.
Rev. Mr.. Reed made a point that this
was out of order. Ii was the prerogative,
he said, of any member to make motion,
but the chair should appoint the members.
The chair held the point good before 1t was
made, but by suggestion allowed its com
petion Then he decided the point good,
-, ,Nft In nj a y
of the resolution. He thought separate
committee should take charge OF each sep
arate duty.
This resulted in parliamentary wrange,
the conclusion of which was motion by
A, B. Clark TO reconsider, which grew out
of a suggestion to that effect by Geo. Cozad.
This prevailed and Mr.. Dawson withdrew
the motion.
A. 3. White moved the appointment Of
a committee on needed legislation. He
cited the good effects of such work by the
Ohio Press Association, in obtaining from
the Legislature good and wholesome laws
and denounced the many nefarious laws, OF
a printing character, now on the West Nir.
ginia statute books. This was adopted.
On motion of A. =. Clark, q committee
on resolutions was ordered appointed.
The chair announced the appointment OF
committees as follows
