James Schroeder Secretary. This conven-
ton proceeded to select a committee on
credentials consisting of one delegate from
each township. The Committee retired;
when a spirited discussion arose on the
admission of Willis Drummond, delegate
from Beuna Vista. 1t was claimed that he
was not n resident Of Beuna Vista town
ship. The committe reported that Mr..
Drummond was entitled to a seat in the
convention, as he lived in McGregor,
claimed a resident in Dubuque and was a
delegate from Buna Vista, they could not
well report against him. After a sharp
discussion in which Mr.. Drummond made
some able remarks intended to convince
the convention that he was entitled to a
seat as delegate from Buna Vista that
part of the report Of the committee admit
ting him to il seat was stricken out! A
motion was carried. that q committee con-
sisting of one delegate from each township
irrespective of representation be chosen to
select delegates to the Congressional Con-
vention at West Union. This gave a
township with one or two delegates in the
convention the same voice as one with
ten or fifteen delegates, thus defeating
