WHAT LED TO THE MEETING.
This was the first public record OF the new
marx msvement 1t had been thought out and
PLANNED. however, in private conference by
nublic- spirited men, who realized that the
time had come for supreme effort. The pro-
ceedings which led to practical results were
initiated by Mr.. Charles G. Glover of Riggs &
60. in November of 1888. In consultation with
Mr.. James Nj. Johnston, Mr.. Calderon Carlisle.
Capt Thomas W. Symons Thomas HYDE and
r. Ross Perry the preliminary work was
blocked out and Mr.. Johnston drew up a bill,
which was the basis OF the one that finally be-
came a law. A few evenings later another
meeting was held at Mr. Gloyer's house, at
which were present the gentlemen named and
