their former report was based upon a supposed

We now recommend thai the basis of rep

be one delegate.

cast for all the candidates for governor, there
| shall be one delegate. Provided, however,
that every precict be entitled to one vote.
The vote for Governor Davis in 1880 was
1890, allowing 81 votes.
The vote for all candidates for governor
was 4I72, allowing 2S votes.

ditonal J, making total Of g. votes.
