CON.
Mr.. Hickok offered the following pre-
ambe and resolution:
Whereas, differences of opinion
exist in the minds of the people
of Union county as TO the propri-
ETY. of lis Division, and whereas
it is question that interests ey-
cry voter of the county, and one
upon which a fair expression of
the people can only be had at the
ballot-box therefore,
Resolved. That this Convention
recommends to the Election Off
GERS of the several Election Dist
riots of the county, the procuring
of suitable boxes, in which to
deposit ballots, TO be labeled on
the outside, DIVISION" and
on the inside For DIVISION" or
" AGAINST DIVISION and that a
return of the votes cast be made
at the same time and in the same
manner that the votes for the
several Offices are returned.
Mr. S!enker offered the follow ing amend
mcn::
And also suitable boxes, one to lo IA
bclled "For the Railroad Bonds" and
one "a Against the Railroad Bonds"
A lengthy discussion ensued, Nr. Reich
ly opposing both resolution and amend
ment; Mr.. Slenker advocating the amend
mcIt on the ground that j, hoG something
TO do with the subject, and the people had
right thus to express their opinions on
any question, and if 'division" was pass
Cd, the ''Ionds' should 20 with it, Mr..
S. said be felt 10 personal interest in the
division question, hut professed to speak
and act for his constituents. MIR. Hickok
stated that the original resolution was Of
fered for the purpose Of transferring the
division question to the hands Of the pco-
pie themselves, where it belonged, and
also to remoye-as had been wisely done
by the Wing Convention-a troublesome
local question out Of the way OF iLc en-
didates; and opposed the amendment as an
abstraction, and not tending 10 any prac-
teal result-the bonds having been signed
and delivered, and the question ended
and that the amendment would only cc-
casion useless dissensions and discord
The vote was taken on the amendment,
and appeared from the sound Of the voices
to be lost, by at least three to one The
President hesitated some moments-ex-
claimed doubtful division was called
and the result was declared to be 20
ayes to ii noes, a number of the delegates
having left the Court House. The ques-
aon was then taken On the original resolu-
tion' which was adopted by large major
ity.
MIR. Slenker then introduced the follow.
