Gentiemen, let our differences of opinion be

At the conclusion of Mr.. Green's address
speeches were made by number gentle
men dlIating upon the advantages to the
fraternity of such an association as that
contemplated. There seemed to be a per-
fect feast OF good feeling and unanimity of
purpose In the assembly, and the enthusi-
asm increased as the meeting progressed.
The Committee on Constitution and By
Laws-Messrs. G. X. McClatchy, Parsons
and Chalmers-presented a constitution
and by laws, which were adopted later in
the meeting
Considerable discussion prevailed upon
the subject of the name and the scope of
membership for the association. Some
wanted it to include the whole State,
and others desired the membership linn
tied to the central and northern
districts. OF these latter there was a de-
cided majority, and the name decided upon
was the Central and Northern California
Press Association. Although the member
ship was thus restricted, it was emphat-
ically declared that the object of the Asso-
citation was the promotion of the interests
OF the whole State and the journalism of
the State
