wherein W. Ii. Huston objected to the
basis OF representation as being unfair
and out of proportions; the third and
fourth wards were republican wards, the
first precinct WAS democratic, precinct
2G was Joe Cassiano's ward, and he car
ried it cheersl; still they had big repre-
sentation. He therefore justly COM
planned of the allotment Of votes.
J.P. Newcomb moved to recommit
the report.

as in the county convention OF the 10th
of August last.
