In placing Samuel Booth in nomination
for grand receiver l.. M. Manner made a
brave oratorical effort, and elected long
and continued applause. Said Mr.. Manner:
After an experience of more than thirty
years in fraternal societies l am glad to
state that l recognize the spirit of fra
ternity as existing as strongly to-day as it
ever did.
1.-The grand receivership is an important
Office. From the time the money leaves
the hands of the grand recorder until it is
placed in the bank it remains in the pos
session of the grand receiver, and none of
US feel at our ease unless we know how to
be man of probity and strict integrity.
The incumbent has acquitted himself
of his manifold duties most credtiably
and [ feel proud to be able to state that to
me has been accorded the pleasure of plac-
ing in nomination as his successor one
who will emulate the record of his prede-
| cessor.
"Gen tlemen and brothers, for the grand
| receiver nominate poet of the order, old
Sam Booth"
The election of the grand master was
unanimous. He has passed through all
the offices laid down by precedent as paw
ing the way TO the highest Office in the
State order, and there was none to oppose
him.
The nominations for grand recorder were
two-D. S. Hirschberg and J. w. Ward.
On first ballot the vote stood 239 for Hirsch-
berg as against "a for his opponent.
Hirschberg, so the members assert. is the
"pet' of the order. Not content with the
enconiums poured upon him by the nom-
inator, two of the large number that rose
to second him managed to Keep the floor
long enough to add their personal opinions
to his general record.
The greatest political wire-working came
into play in the election of the grand
| medical examiner. The candidates were
two, the incumbent, DR.. J. L.Mayon.
and DR.. G. N. Daywaldt. An ac-
tive faction was opposed to DR.. Mayon be-
cause of his radical temperance advocacy.
Tn ho Q1 nr
had courteously Withdrawn and left the
contest between DR.. Mayon and DR.. George
l.. Fitch.
The counting of the votes was anxiously
awaited. Amid great excitement it was
announced that DR.. Daywaldt had won bv
majority down to four and the official
count reduced it to one, the vote standing
127 for DR.. Daywaldt and 126 for DR..
Mayon.
The election of the grand outside guard
was very protracted. many ballots being
taken before the selection of Neild.
General satisfaction prevails at the cleo
ton. All the membets think excellent Of
icers have been selected, though they NAV
not have had their sympathy during cleo
ton.
There was no meeting at B'nai Birth
Hall in the evening, as all wished to at
tend the exercises at Laurel Hail. 80 O'Far-
rell street, where the Ancient Order of
Adhesive Mogullians made things warm
for about $50 candidates. To gain admit
tance members were required to bray.
