The above list contains the names of
the gentlemen who were Yesterday Sc
lected by the International Association
of Ticket Agents to guide the affairs of
the society through the ensuing year.
They were not chosen without just
enough of a contest to show that the
association is on firm basis with the
honors worth competing for. The con-
vention met at an early hour, and bus
mess was pushed so that by 1890 nearly
everything had been done in the way of
business. The election contest was
precipltated by the following report
from the committee on nominations:
We respectfully report that we have care
fully and conscieutiously considered the
geographical location and influential posi-
ton of the names we present for the officers
named below, and for the best interests of
our assoeiction, and sincerely trust that they
will meet with the appreciation of this con-
vention: President, ). Ii. Wallace; first vice
president, H. K. Day; second vice president
4. f. Lackner: third vice president, C. f.
Stone; secretary, M. G.. Carrel; treasurer,
7: W. Veneman; executive committee, Henry
Lihou. w +. BucKmaster. j. A. Robbins, j.
j. Pagan and William Lohmiler.
This report, however, did not settle
the matter, for a great many delegates
wanted the election thrown into the
convention, claiming that any other
course savored too much of b0ssism and
was undemocratic. Motions were made
to close nominations and to adopt the
report of the committee, but it was
finally decided to proceed with the cleo
ton. in the regular way, and G. e. Stone,
S. II. Wallace, K. f. Lackner, j. j. Nc
Cormick, II. E. Day and S. B. Thompson
were placed in nomination. Stone,
the ballot proceeded under the direction
of q. f. McNeill, =. g.. Jay and j. ii.
Smith, who were appointed tellers. The
ballot resulted: Wallace 60. Day AZ and
Mccormick A.
Mr.. Day now withdrew, and moved
that the election Of Mr.. Wallace be made
unani nous, which was done. The new
president made neat speech on being
called to the chair. and the election of
first vice president was taken up. the
popular Floridian, III. E. Day, being
elected by vote of $50 to McCormck's
IL, and Thompson'S 20. E. f. Lackner
and G. e. Stone were elected second
and third vice presidents, the first by
reclamation and the second by an over
whelming majority. M. G. Carrel and
L. w. Veneman were reelected secre-
tary and treasurer by reclamation.
The election of the executive
committee resulted in the over
throw of the committee report,
only about half of the nominees being
chosen. The president appointed w.
l.. Hathaway auditor, and the election
of officers was completed. The follow
Ing telegram of sympathy was directed
to be sent to the old president of the as
ISOLATION, Henry Lihou, of st. Louis,
who was unable to be present on ac-
count of Illness:
This association sends you greetings and
heartfelt regrets at your absence, and prayers
for your recovery.
The selection of place for the next
annual meeting was delegated to a COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs. NJ. G..
Carrel, the secretary, 4. q. Snow
and j. j. Mccormick. All commu-
nications regarding the matter will be
sent to them and they will make the
selection. When made it will be pub
lished in the official organ.
The popular general passenger agent
of the Northern Pacific, G. S. Fee, was
called to the stand and announced the
trip to Yellowstone National park. He
assured the delegates that the Northern
Pacific desired to do all in its power to
make the trip a pleasant and enjoyable
one. To those that could not 20 to the
IL ha fha lNn
see them at any other time and ON any
portion of the line.
This ended the business of the morn
ing, and so the meeting adjourned.
After dinner the delegates went to Min
neapolis by the Milwaukee, visiting
Fort Smelling and Minnehaha on the
way.
