Twenty-Five Will suggest the reorganization OF the
General Committee, and Will propose the plan OF
enrolment IN the various wards. In iact, 1t Is
derstOod that this system has been determined
upon. Three delegates will probably be sent from
each election district to an Assembly district

brief the present aspect OF political affairs the
