The First Annual Convention of the
 Growers.
 ST. LOUIS, Nov. 17-At least three thou sand five hundred people gathered in the Exposition hall to witness the opening of the first annual convention of the cattle growers. The hall was tastefully decorated with bunting. At il o'clock Col R. D. Hunter, of St. Louis, rapped the gathering to order and introduced Major C.. o. Rain water as temporary chairman. Thomas Sturges, of Wyoming, was nominated as temporary secretary and General Curtis, of New York, as assistant secretary. The ap- pointment of committee of credentials be- came the subject of numerous resolutions, counter resolutions and amendments and during their discussion a sharp discussion arose between Senator Dorsey and Judge Corey of Wyoming. The latter in al1uding to the great Star router's former political ex- perienee drew tremendous applause from the convention. It was resolved that-the differ ent delegations from each State and territory select from their own bodies the members of the committees, one of these committees to be the committee credentials and basis of representation and another on permanent or ganization. Another resolution was moved and Judge w. T. Thornton, of New Mexico, spoke to the motion to reconsider and was followed by number of gentlemen who took different sides on the motion. L. R. Rhodes, of Colorado, created breeze by stating that Colorado was represented in the convention by delegation of 150 men while New York was represented by one. He demanded for Colorado that representation which the capi- tai and industry represented was entitled to and declared Colorado would have it. The chairman at this point announced that the Governor of this State and the Mayor of this city were in waiting to welcome the conven- tion to St. Louis. The Treadway guards and detail from the First rgiment entered the hall eseorting Mayor Ewing, who leaned upon the arm of ex-Governor Fletcher, and Governor Crittenden, who came in arm-in- arm with General Sherman. Mayor Ewing was introduced and welcomed the conven- tion to the city, saying:
 stSt Louis takes just pride in the reputation she has established for hospitality and it gives me pleasure to assure you that during your stay she will endeavor to sustain her character even to @ still greater extent.
 Governor Crittenden next spoke. He ex- pressed gracefully the welcome of Missouri to the cattle trade of the country and spoke at length on the importance of the situation of this State with reference to the trade as the great highway across which the cattle must go east. The Governor complimented specially the broodman like Ingersoll, Salmon and others who brought great intellect and experience into the cattle business. There were loud calls for General w. T. Sherman who came forward, bowed and said:
 Gentlemen-I here by the merest accident, but if few words from fro me are wanted 1 wi will say say voiced the sentiment of the whole community. for a a Now have no advice to give you.

Prolonged cheers).
 At the close of General Sherman's speech the regular business resumed. The chairman announced that the motion to ap- point members of committees by States and territories was reconsidered. It was moved that one delegate from each live stock asso- citation represented in this convention be selected by those delegates to act respectively upon the committees on credentials, basis of representation, resolutions ana permanent organization; carried. It was moved that those States not having stock association should be represented by delegate on each committee; carried. A recess was taken un- til o'clock.
 The convention reassembled at 3:30, but as some of the associations had not selecte d their representatives on the various commit tees, adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow. The committees on organization, creden- tials and resolutions met this evening and proceeded with business in hand, the result of which will develop tomorrow.
