Cashier J. J. Hall of Centreville ad dressed the oonventlon pr«ss«il folinW. Mr. President and Gentlemen Convention : From tho conversation that have had with one another, it appears all very much of one mind rh to have come together for. We do not propose to organize a secret society, or to form any kind of offensive or defensive alliance, but rather to establish a sort of social union for the interchange of thought and opinion. The original suggestion that sent out to the several cashiers of Peninsula iu regard to this meetiug a cashier's convention for the purpose of disen«sing matters of mutual interest,making the acquaintance of ouc another and having pleasant a time as possible should be held. Replies indicating general approval of the plan being reoeived in due course, further correspondence and personal conferences ■ued, resulting iu the selection of the present time and place. In stating the object of this mooting only enlarge upon the ideas set forth iu this, the original the American years ago I find the following ideas : "If bank offloera are picked men, ing special facilities of information, holding offices of grave trust, and wielding immense aggregates of capital duriug the i advantages of their mooting in council obvious to need proof, l'orhaps no dass brought into hucIi close coufideu lth our statesmen, judges, capitalists, and organizers of industry. One class of that what Unit of 1 ^• H1 I ( ) T I .

This has long been object of regrot, aud many of the rivalries aud other evils which, iu au older time, the bane of our banking system, were begun fostered from this mischievous c Our bankers, it was frequently' said a quarter of a century ago, have no cohesion as a body, aud no powor to unite or work together for any groat common purpose, or for promoting the welfare of our financial wholo. This reproach is soldo and tho prosperity of the Aiuoric Association suggests tho hope conventions of baukeiH ami h bo found great national objects which they signed to prouioto." The ideas there expressed ah jilt l»auk oHi >f the country gonorully apply equally well to them locally. As o BHlar cashiers, in a letter on the subject, very aptly said, "Like tho within the sound of Niag the that tiie annual officers will tho •o do o coudiit'i cry j or o ! dm lives Falls and m thoso awe-inspiring •h other from year t< auotho Men of kindred nuud and occil| naturally strong fellow feeling for o they can more fully enter iut.» feelings thau it is possible for others to do From this fooling grow all tb»» dations of tho various classes of • day. 15y meeting together ami having irehaugos of thought and opinion thoy all receive mutual information.

Now, i thero is but littlo opportunity of learning from oacli others' experie is it for us to moot together and each learn from th»» other.

We shall gut acquainted with ouo another, and i course form friendships that may bo life-last ing. Aud wo need each other's friendship, for, as I have said before, being of kindrod occupation wo can more fully enter i another's feelings than other's can, aud a lit tlo fellow fooling makes us wondrous kind. Wo know how peculiarly alouo iu his feelings a bank officer stands in his own community iu many respects, how those most familiar fail to understand personal liiter with liar trials and troubles. Thou how good a thing to know one another.to have tho help and comfort of oach other's sympathy. And what a comforting, helpful thing is sympathy —truo, genuine, heartfolt sympathy.

Now, gontlomon, I have expressed about wliat I take to bo tho objects of our mooting, but I wish to say while I have tho floor that boiug a little forward iu urging tins gath ering, I was somewhat afraid of being »*on sidered officious, but I am very thankful to say that tho very cordial letters tbat L cuivod dispelled that idea, bouyod with tho hope of a pleasant meeting, ami 1 thank each which my advaucos w invisible up f< ■ i that wero all brothers, and of yon for the friendly way mot.
