FIXING THE PLACE OF THE NEXT MEETING. 



Gol. Veal, of Texas — Presuming that the place of the next 

 meeting would be fixed before the adjournment of the Society, I 

 have taken it on myself to present the claim of Texas to this honor, 

 and to fortify myself properly have brought with me these letters. 

 I will not worry you by reading all of them, but will say that they 

 are from our governor, our secretary of state, from the sec- 

 retary of the state immigration committee, from the mayor of the 

 city of Fort Worth, from the president of the Fort Worth Immi- 

 gration Association, from the president of the Fort Worth Mer- 

 chants' and Manufacturers' Bureau and from the president and sec- 

 retary of the Farmers' State Alliance of Texas. These invitations 

 are all of the most earnest and cordial character, and I may add 

 that they are seconded, in spirit at least, by all our citizens. There 

 are many of our citizens who know something of this great Society 

 and its mighty influence for good, and they desire to know more 

 of it by having it meet in our midst. 



Mr. Munson, of Texas — I wish to indorse everv word which 

 Colonel Veal has so well said in favor of holding the next meeting 

 in Texas. 



Mr. Shiith, of Wisconsin — I move that we accept the invitation 

 to meet in Texas. 



President Earle — I have been converted by the earnestness and 

 the eloquence of our Texas friends, and am now prepared to vote 

 for the motion. 



The motion to meet in Texas in the month of February, 1890, 

 was adopted, and the Executive Committee were authorized to 

 decide upon the date and place of the meeting.
