The Great Sachem said: "The Improved Order of Red Men has become one of the most important among the benevolent institutions of the age. I believe without exception the utmost harmony and brotherly feeling prevails throughout the entire jurisdiction. I have granted dispensations for two new Tribes--Hiawatha, No. 13, of Covington, instituted on the 12th sun of Sturgeon Moon, G. S. D. 378, and Cherokee Tribe, No. 14, at Paris, on the 8th sun of Hot Moon, G. S. D. 379, and I would ask that charters be granted to both Tribes." Great Chief of Records C. S. Betts, of Ohio, was a visitor and was welcomed to a seat by the Great Sachem. A constitution governing Tribes under the jurisdiction of the G. C. was adopted, also uniform by-laws. The election resulted as follows: John Steinhauer Great Sachem Geo. W. Reese Great Senior Sagamore Samuel Spaeth Great Junior Sagamore J. Lezinsky Great Prophet G. B. Kiteley Great Chief of Records W. D. Turner Great Keeper of Wampum Chas. Amann Great Representative to G. C. U. S.
