romptly at the hour named the as
semblage was called to order. Mr..
Henry P. Richards was nominated for

and finally Mr.. John G. Cutler was

an hour silence reigned. a great many
of the delegates being buried in copies
of THE HERALD, which had been sent
to the Legislators.
Then there was a call for q speech
from the chairman, and that gentle
man declined
IN FAVOR OF MR.. @. BYWATRR,
requesting the latter to address the

10 brief speech said he took it that
time laid heavily on the hands of the
delegates present, or they would not
have so readily C Ms ed and approved
Of the suggestion made by the chair
man that he should address them. He
trusted that the delegates were all
present for one purpose-:o pro-
note. as far as it lay in their
power the good and welfare of the
municipality, to adopt or put into prac-
tice some Oh the measures calculated
Tor our benefit. He was not a politi-
clan in the ordinary sense of the term,
and thought that good government is
possible only by good men carrying out
inten1g, ntly the important duties de-
vol.iug upon them. He hoped there
would be no effort made by any one to
put any d tferent construction upon
wha. might be done or said than that
was seit-evident He was pleased to
meet here as a delegate, and would do
his utmost for the benefit of those who
had placed him here. and trusted that
a spirit of harmony would prevail.
NIB. P. L. WILLIAMS,
who was present, was called upon by
some, but he did not respond Later
on he was again called for, but excused
himself in few words.
MR.. J. H. paw
was the next to claim the attention OF
the assemblage. He responded in q
few words, hoping that everything said
and done would be given fair construc.
ton, and with the idea that the dele |
gates present had met to work in the in |
terests of the public good. He fully !
Oh this occasion was a very important |
one, and he, hoped that in taking into
the nomination of officers |
onlv the best men available would be |
chosen.

Lu6 COumlbtcc IopOIIS ~ ASu1nS W.
A. Empey instead of Mr.. Alonzo
Young. At his request, Mr.. Young's
name was substituted for that of Mr..
Empey.
The report was then received and
adopted, and the temporary organiza.
ton made permanent.
Mr.. WALLACE thought before bust
ness was proceeded with, the chaplain
should offer prayer.
Mr.. RICHARDS suggested that prayer
had been offered when the temporary
was perfected, and he
thought once would be sufficient.

lished in THE HERALD, which was read
by the secretary.
