that convention bowed itself up, while a SUBJ

and confirmed the appointment of Mr.. Roal

seat in The STATE Convention. That was a time
too when Judges Of the Supreme Court and
other officers Of importance were TO be nom.

some power and influence. The Main Limo

But the party of the county did not so for
the Colonel for Canal Commissioner, nor for
Revenue Commissioner, nor for delegate to

If the Sanding Committee had appointed
