here. A motion that all who want
might 90 was made, one of the white
delegates said that j. r. Clifford
would like to go, and at the same
time moved that his name be annexed
to the list. Upon this Gn his absence)
another white delegate moved that j..

is the reason why Martinsburg has
five colored delegates.
