Thomas Addresses the Convention and
the Delegates Enjoy Themselves

The Cattlemen's Congress is now in
session. 1t began yesterday with an at
tendance that far surpassed all eXpecta-
tions. The early trains yesterday morning
brought many drovers who have come to
deliberate in the great meeting. The free
dom of the city has been given them and
they surely appreciate the hospitality of
all Ogden citizens.
At IL o'clock in the morning procession
was formed by the delegates from the sew
oral states and territories and headed by
the Ogden city brass band, marched
through the principal streets.
At 1l:30 o'clock the meeting was called
to order in the Grand opera house by E.
NJ Allison, ir., of Ogden, who placed in
nomination for temporary chairman Major
]. r. Elliott, which was declared the unani-
nous choice of the congress. Il. L. Arm
strong was chosen temporary secretary.
Judge j. Il. MacMillen delivered a
speech of welcome on behalf of Ogden city
and Weber county, and assured the visit
ing delegates that the latch string on every
door in Ogden was at their service, and if
they went TO their homes feeling that they
hod not been properly entertained it would
be their own fault
Mr.. A. S. Mercer, of Cheyenne in q few
well chosen words replied to Judge Mac
Millen on behalf of the cattlemen and
hoped that when the congress had per
formed its work that Ogden and every
delegate would be protited by it.
