The report was accepted AMI agreed
Mr.. Recmcln, Of Hamilton, offered
his protest against the admission Of three
delegates from Hamilton.
The following is Mr.. Reemcln's S pro.
test, as we find it in the NoapareH, of
Monday:
"That he had brought before the com
nlittee a contest in relation to three of
the delegates from Hamil on County, on
the list just handed in, viz: against Judge
Finn, as delegate from Colcrain; W.
w. Cones, for w. p. of Crosby; and
w. B. Barry, for w. p, Of Delhi. HcI
had brought it before the committee,
purposely to avoid any consumption of
time or difficulty here. The committed
decided agains, the people, and for the
caucus delegate, AMI nothing now re.
n''inel for him, except to protest solemn.
ly against the outrage thus committed
against the people Of the respective
townships and precincts. He would
briefly state his reasons:
81. The delegates were appointed in
violation of the rules adopted by the
County Executive Committee, that all
the Delegates in all the War,ls, Town.
ships and Precincts, should be elected
by the people thereof.
"2. Because the filing of vacancies
by the Delegates in Columbus was in
violation ola standing rule ofthc Demo,
cratic party of the County, by which
such filling of vacancies was prohibited,
for reasons we'll known to Democtats.
"3. That the delegates elected arc not,
and never have been, residents Of the
townships or precincts they propose to
act for, they are residents of the city,
and live some twenty miles from one of
the townships or precincts. This is
clearly against the fundamental princi.
pie of representative government as a
doptcd in Ohio, that the representative
must live in the district he proposes to
represent. The reasons were plain, di-
rect and clear, and he left it to the con.
vention to act in the premises as became
a Democratic body.
The Committee on Rules and Appor.
