part of the people for its repeal; but the present
that they could serve the city far efficiently

Mr.. Hutchins took the floor. He did not pur-
pose replying to the arguments advanced BY the
other side OF the House prior to an Organization,
as by so'doing he would be cohdemning his own
Judgment and his own action in the premises
In the few remarks he was about to submit, he
should confiue himself strictly to the point of
organization. That was in order, and it was
proper that that should be discussed. And he
would say that he was alone responsible for the
sentiments he should utter at this time. 1t was
absolutely necessary that there should be early
organization, and, as he would proceed to show,
there was a way by which this House could be
speedily organized. II it had come to this, that a
majority could not control its own action, then
they were at the mercy, the will of a mi noii'y.
