The calling showed the presence Of 233
delegates and forty contestants.
Mr.. Hamlet, immediately on the conclu.
sion of the reading, moved the adoption of
the majority report and called the previous
question.
In the meantime the following proxies
were filed: For r. II. Bray, Of Orlsans.
Peter Joseph; for Larkin Murrell, of Aadi.
son, George W. Bryant; for H. R. Steele,
of Tensas, A. S. Badger.
Mr.. Packard claimed that it was not
