The Great Sachem said: "The Order in this jurisdiction is not making as rapid strides as it would if the beauties of it were more fully known. Some hunting grounds are extending their influence, while others are languishing for the want of some fraternal care. I most respectfully recommend to your earnest consideration the appointment of a suitable chief, one who has time and ability to visit all the Tribes in this reservation. It is impossible for any Great Chief without great pecuniary loss on his part to give that attention to the visiting of Tribes, which is almost absolutely necessary in what might be called the infancy of our Order in this jurisdiction. I am satisfied if this system of visiting was faithfully carried out it would increase our membership threefold and the Tribes in general gain by it. I appointed Bro. Kiteley a special deputy to institute Wyandotte Tribe, No. 16, at Maysville, which he did on the 10th of Sturgeon Moon, 380, and raised up the following chiefs: M. C. Russell, Sachem; E. A. Robinson, Sr. Sagamore; J. H. Hall, Jr. Sagamore; A. Brillstein, Prophet; Thomas A. Davis, C. of R.; A. B. Cochran, K. of W."
The Great Chief of Records reported that some mode should be adopted to compel Tribes to be more prompt in making their reports.
The death of Past Great Sachem Charles Amann was reported and suitable resolutions were passed.
The election resulted as follows:
| W. H. Glore | Great Sachem |
| John Vogle | Great Senior Sagamore |
| J. J. Hillburb | Great Junior Sagamore |
| Thos. A. Hornsey | Great Prophet |
| G. B. Kiteley | Great Chief of Records |
| W. D. Turner | Great Keeper of Wampum |
| Isaac Leiber | Great Representative to G. C. U. S. |
After an exemplification of the secret work and a prayer by the Great Prophet the council fire was quenched.
1873.
TWENTIETH GREAT SUN COUNCIL.
The Great Council assembled in regular session in the wigwam of Hiawatha Tribe, No. 13, hunting grounds of Covington, on the 22nd sun of Buck Moon, G. S. D. 382, and the council fire was kindled in ample form at the 9th run, rising of the sun, Great Sachem W. H. Glore presiding. All the elective Great Chiefs were present.
Representatives were admitted from the following Tribes: Nos. 2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 16.
The Great Sachem said: "Our Order has not been as progressive for the past great sun as it might or ought to have been. We have not instituted a new Tribe, and the brothers have to a certain degree been very negligent, as well as myself, in the working and interest of the Order. I would suggest that some active brother be appointed by this Great Council, and make it his duty to visit every Tribe in the State at least once in every four moons, to build them up and give the secret work as laid down by the Great Council of the United States. At present Matamora Tribe, No. 12, at Hopkinsville, is suspended, and has been for some time back. I am sorry to say that Seneca Tribe, No. 9, at Louisville, has suspended."
