! the constitution provides for the pres
ence Of but duly accredited delegations,
representing regularly formed and ex-
isting Stste, Territory and local asso-

We earnestly hope that the attendance
upon the meeting will not be restricted
to such delegates, as the questions and
measures which will be under discus
! sion will be live issues, affecting the in
yestments Of every owner Of cattle. The
introduction by. delegates for the pur-
pose OF debate and discussion OF topics
covering matters sectional or local
interest only, we trust, will be care

I possible, in order that the limited time
of tie sssemblage, drawn from re-
mote distances, may be entirely de-
I voted to the consideration of vital
