Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-04-03
arrived, when the minutes OF the previous

arrived, when the minutes OF the previous
meeting were read.
The secretary explained the lack OF at
tendance by stating the only announce
ment of the meeting he had made was
newspaper notice, which had proved in
sufficient.
The following gentlemen were elected
new members of the Association: Geo.
Mills and Robert Crosby, Lexington;
James Nowlin, Nephi; w. A. c. Brian,
Nephi; P. L. Orth, Ogden.
President Jennings stated there was
little matter that he desired to lay before
the Association. A convention was being
held in this city composed of the cattle
men of the different counties of the Ter
ritory. This convention had appointed
committee to see if something could not
be done to consolidate the two movements
and he thought it proper for the Associa-
ton to appoint like committee. He was
in favor of doing all that could be done
towards a consolidation. He considered
the Association had SPLEEN
did organization, with double
the number of members he had
expected 1t was not designed to be an
association for farmers or small raisers
They could not afford to pay
the IS entrance fee, but the Association
wanted all the cattlemen of the Territory,
If a Territorial Association was organized
he wanted to be member of it, in order
that the members might derive some of
the benefits OF his sixty years experience.
Mr.. Young moved committee of five
be appointed by the chair to confer with
the convention committee.
Mr.. Leavitt favored the appointment of
the committee, but thought consolida-
ton of the Association with the conven-
ton would result in letting in too many
small raisers-men who knew little or
nothing about the cattle business.
Mr.. Young favored the appointment of
the committee and the organization OF an
Association composed of the stockmen of
the entire Territory.
Mr. Grover would like to see the cattle
men OF Utah united. They were so weak
that any division would render useles
their efforts to accomplish anything.
Was opposed to county organizations, but
was in favor of strong territorial organ
ization
After fuI ther discussion the motion was
carried and Messrs. Leavitt, Grover,
Samuel Mcintyre, Young and Whitmore
were appointed as such committee.
The secretary was instructed to address
a note to the Opera House committe, in
forming it of the appointment OF similar
committee by the Association and request
ing a conference. The Association then
adjourned until 2 p. M, and the two con-
solidation committees met in the office of
Williams & Young for the purpose of
holding conference.
The Stockgrowers' Association recon-
vened at 2 o'clock. 1t had been given
out previously that the result of the COM
mittee conference was an agreement for
the two factions to meet together at the
/ Opera House and consider the differences
between them.
Mr.. Leavitt, as chairman of the Associ-
alton conference committee, reported the
result of their deliberations. He stated
that the committee from the Opera House
convention offered every inducement to
the Association to join with them in Or
ganizing Territorial Association. The
Association was invited to, attend the con-
vention in body.
Mr.. Hague inquired if the Opera House
convention wanted the members of the
Association, after perfecting an organiza-
ton, to pull it to pieces and do as they
wished. He would not consent to any
such thing.
Mr.. Jennings considered that the Asso-
citation was regularly and fully organized,
while there was no organization of the
Opera House convention. The Utah AS
ISOLATION was organized in Territorial
capacity, and its members were the first
and only organizer in the Territory to-
day. This convention comes forward
now and asks it to join them, as he under
stood it Tor the purpose of destroying the
work they had DONE He did not pro-
pose to do it. Still he was willing to
meet with them and hear what they had
to say.
Mr.. Young was in favor of going to the
Opera House, but going there with an in
vitation to them to join the Association.
On motion it was decided to accept the
invitation and the Association adjourned
to the Opera House in body.
1t is to be hoped that the final result of
all this controversy will be aharmonizing
and uniting of all factions. With
out harmony the stockmen can not ac-
complish the objects they have met to
secure.
