Brightwood, and Thomas CT. Smallwood,
of Garrett, Indiana Mr.. SmallwoOd was
finally successful.
A lively contest also took place on the
selection of convention city for next year,
Buffalo being decided on after Cincinnati,

made effort to pull the convention.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President, w H.
