brary Hall Last Evening.

lnt mttllhk Was tAilNd OAati W
Gov. r. Il. Warren, who proceeded to
state that the object for which the meet
ing had been called and was being held
was one which ought and would commend
itself to u business men all over the ter
ritory. The governor also, in his address,
which was a very practical and able one,
referred TO u multitude Of matters which
were of interest, but all of which tended
to the one point-the Importance TO the
territory of effecting the organization.
On motion Hon. A. Gilchrist was
chosen chairman of the meeting, and j..
Douglas william secretary. Governor
Warren was appointed as a special COM
mittee of one to escort Mr.. William to the
platform, but on arriving there he de-
clined and A. S. Mercer, editor of the
Stock Journal, was selected secretary in
his stead.
A. s. Mercer then delivered a short
speech, and took the ground that the
work of organizing should be done e~ffectiv-
ly and that there should be no Jim Grow"
business about the matter.
On motion of Col. I. w. Chaffee a
committee of five was then appointed by
the chair to nominate a board of twenty
one managers to be elected as far as prac-
ticable from the various counties of the
territory. which board of managers
should have authority to take all neces-
sary steps toward e~ffecting a permanent
organization and incorporation of the socie-
ty. The following named gentlemen
were appointed as such committee.
7. w. Chaffee, c. P. Organ, Il. b.
Hord, G. D. Rainsford and b. A. Camp
bell.

purpose of making a selection of a board
ofmanagers.

all Of those who had anything to say hav-
ing first been loudly called for.
j. II. Ford thought the object in view
was one that appealed to the COED sense
of all.
n. J. O'Brien was strongly in favor OF
organizing an association and thought
that the manufacturing and agricultural
interests should not be ignored.
N. r. Davis was in favor Of the project
and would do his share toward helping
the matter along. j. Douglas william
wanted to see the sinews of war raised
and thought the association would need
about 10000. T. b. Hord was also de
cidedly in favor of organizing at once.
A. S. Peabody was in favor of the pro-
ject and wodld lend his aid and influence
to the scheme.
Governor Warren also made a few re-
marks, and stated that George f. Morgan
and Thomas Swan, both of whom had
left the city on business, had authorized
him to say hat they would contribute
81, 600 each toward making the organiza-
ton a success.
A. b. Dole was in favor of and in SYM
patty with the movement
DIR. Hopkins was sorry to say that he
was not in favor Of the movement, as he
had seen some bad effects from fairs on
cattle and stock while he was a resident of
New jersey.
Mr.. Gilehrist thought the doctor didn't
understand the objects sought to be at
tanned.
r. b. Seaton was enthusiastically in
favor of the plan.
A. d. Kelley said, Il nm not here to
talk" but remarked that he believed the
project was a worthy one.
