The Chairman. The chair will nominate the committee in a moment. 
Is there any further business? 
Mr. Burrill. It seems to me proper that we should send a greeting 
to our absent president, and, under the circumstances, a telegram of 
sympathy also. Therefore I move that the secretary be requested to 
send such a telegram to General Lee. 
Ordered. 
Mr. Harris. I understand that ex-Assistant Secretary of Agricul- 
ture Willits is in the city, and as he has been of such great service to 
this Association, I move that the secretary of this body be instructed 
to extend him an invitation to attend our meetings. 
Ordered. 
Mr. Buckham. I am sure the Association will understand why I 
make this motion, which is, that the Association appoint a committee 
of three to wait upon Senator Morrill, who, I understand, is in town, 
and express to him the respect of this Association and invite him to 
attend our meetings. 
Adopted. 
The Chairman. Will the convention kindly designate this commit- 
tee'? There may be personal reasons for selecting certain members. 
Mr. Koons. I would name as chairman of the committee Mr. 
Buckham. 
Mr. Harris named the chairman of the Association. 
The Chairman. I will name Mr. Broun, of Alabama. The chair now 
announces as the committee on the personal statement made by the 
chairman of the executive committee, Mr. Buckham, of Vermont, who 
made the motion ; Mr. Harris, of Maine, who is peculiarly fitted because 
of his intimate association with that work, and, that the other side 
of the Association may be represented, the chair will nominate Mr. 
Plumb, of Indiana. 
Adjourned at 11.50 a. m. 
Evening Session, Tuesday, November 13, 1894. 
The convention was called to order at 7.45 p. m. by Vice-President 
Frear. 
Mr. Johnson. I offer the following resolution: 
Resolved, That the executive committee of this Association be requested to select 
Denver, Colo., as the place for the next annual meeting in 1895, if in harmony with 
the best interests of the Association, and that we suggest August 15 to October 1 as 
the most suitable season of the year. 
If this resolution is seconded, I desire to present some very impor- 
tant matters from the city of Denver. (Mr. Johnson then read com- 
munications from the Denver Chamber of Commerce, the mayor of the 
city, the Mining Exchange, and the Manufacturers' Exchange, indors- 
ing the invitation to meet at Denver in 1895. He vouched for the inter- 
est of Senators Teller and Wolcott in the work of the land grant col-
