ASKS VOTES OF CONSOLIDATED.
Opposition Circular Says Present Manage.
ment Of Exchange Has Failed.

A plea for the election Of George s. Small tr
president Of the Consolidated Exchange, and
for his associates on the opposition members -
ticket was issued yesterday in the form of a cir
cular. signed by committee OF five members of
the exchange, headed by Harry 7. w. Waller. The
continuance of the present methods and policy Of
the exchange. it is declared would seriously
jeopardize the future of the institution, and the
opposition ticket has been named in an effort to
change that policy. The circular says in part:
This has been 4 period OF great general pros
perlty. With us, the other hand it has been
a season OF decline The least ObSerVant among
have recognize this plain fact and 70
understand the cause. 1t is a clear case of narrow
minded. negligent and repreSSive government. All
sorts OF experiments have been tried our laws
have been multiplied and elaborated and vet We
fail TO discover single intelligent effort looking
to the upbuding Of our business or assisting our
practical needs. The outgTowth of all this is a
spirit OF unrest and dissatisfaction. While the
volume Of transactions in ali other exchanges has
enormously increased and the value Of their mem
berships advanced beyond all precedent, we are
forced TO exhibit a serious decline in everything
but expenses The latter shows an advance during
the last five years OF about is per cent The in
herent strength and vitality of exchange have
preserved ii. But how long afford to pur-
sue course that has proved signal failure?
