with the additional cost of trascribiDg
clerk.
Taylor of Lincoln, introduced reso-
luton at this point, recommending that
the proceedings be printed in the daily
papers of the city. on the ground that
1t could be done at less expense. His
resolution also included the furnishing
of one copy of each paper to each OF the
members.
This called out considerable opposi-
| ton, especially from Judge Moody, who
argued that the reports in the daily
papers would not be sufficiently accu-
| rate tor the use of the convention. What
| is needed, he claimed, is certified and
| corrected copy furnished by the clerk.
After further discussion Taylor's reso-
luton was laid on the table by an al
most unanimous vote. The matter was
finally disposed of by the passage of q
resolution introduced by Kellam, that
| the committee on printing be instructed
to secure the printing of $50 copies of
the daily proceedings and that the SER
geant-at-arms lay copies of the same on
| the desk OF the members each morning.

ness before them. The resolution was
