this wear under the old apportionment; bu,

The Committee presented the following
recommendation. which was adopted, after
some discussions
The County Committee recommend that
the oldest town in each Legislative Dis
trict, through their town committee, be
authorized 10 call 4 convention OF the del
egates from said district. at some conven-
lent place, and that sail delegates may pro-
vide for the nomination of a candidate for
Representative to the Legislature in such
manner as they deem best.
The Convention was harmonious and en-
thusiastic throughout, and all present seem.
ed TO feel that the candidates nominated
were sure TO be elected in September. The
Convention,was in session only about three
hours.
