difficulty he got it accepted, after taking
ngot The oath The Judges, according to the
Hoa published statement of one of the Clerks,

accepting the vote after administering
the oath. This responsible individual
whose very oath is regarded so highly
where he 10 best known--came to our
city, having In the meantime, ainyeigled

along with him to do, his work. He
found the Democracy of our city with
