after no did appear. he denied that he had di-
rected the committee to be called together and
eaid that he had told his clerk TO call the COM
mittee ON Expenditures together, in order that
no might get the resolution for the appoint
ment of a clerk and messenger to the Appor-
tonment Committee reported, he being plainly
moro Interested In that little bit OF patronage
than in the reapportonment Of the State The

members Of the Apportionmcnt Committee
were on hand while only three Of the Republl-
can members had put in an appearance. Ola
Salt had counted noses before the hour OF meet
