each council district, shall determine tn
person to cast the vote of said district AM
designate the person for whom it shall b
given.
The first part Of the report was takel
up. read and adopted without dissentin,
voice. Some discussion ensued, as to tn
right of the committe, to append to thei
report, plan for the basis of representa-
ton, and delegate ordered an explana
ton of their conduct in doing so.
DIR. Stringfellow stated to the Conven
ton, that the power to bring in such a re
port, was delegated to the committee
the Convention on Tuesday evening, br

vote be re-considered. Carried.
