ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
After the routine business had been
gone through with the annual election
of officers occurred. There We're three
nominations for the craftsmanship, but
all dec!insd in favor of the present
incumbent, ]. A. Mccoy, of st. Pauls.
There were two candidates for the
secretaryship. James Murphy, of st.
Johns Pine Brook and W. +. O'Boyle.
of Father Whitty Young Men, Provi-
dence. Murphy was elected by vote
Of ~ to 81. James ]. White has no cp-
position for the treasuryship and was
unanimously reelected. James Gavin
Of St. Johns, South Side. and Timothy
Burke, OF s.. Johns, Pine Brook, were
elected by drcismaIion to the vacan-
cies nthe district board
The rorort oi the committee on 1880
lution5 was as follows: I'VE raiterate
our convictions In the principles Of to-
ia! abstinence. as best calculated to pro-
mote the interest, elevate the character
ana secure the happiness Of mankind
We note with qualification the 'ucraase
in membership in cadet and ladies So
cietlcs and urge q continuance Of labor
in the same direction for the tutule"
I'VE heartily approve of the literary
feature adopted by our societies at their
meetings believing them to have O. ten
dency TO interest the members and
eventually increase the membership"
We recommend to the diocesan off,
GERS the propriety OF inviting Father
Cleary or some other eminent total
abstainer to be present at our next
general parade to deliver an address on
total abstinence.

Brown, j. G. Gallagher.

had considered the matter Of the Pitts
ton sufferers, but deemed it would be
mUckery to pass hollow resolutions of
sympathy unless there was some sub
stantlal accompaniment, and in order
that something might be done by the
Father Mathew men in aid of the suf-
ferers the committee decided to bring
the matter before the convention. The
question was discussed thoroughly and
it was finally agreed that the board of
directors should make an appeal to the
different societies for contributions.
The newly elected officers were in
stalled by Vice-President Peter Mccoy,
Of the Diocesan Union.
Under the head of the good of the
cause, John Devjne deprecated the hold
ing of diocesan conventions in isolated
sparsely settled villages. which are in
every way inconvenient and in no way
capable of properly accommodating the
delegates. 1t has detrimental effect
on the cause, he claimed, and should be
given attention. Mr.. Judge thought IL
