Much time was occupied in discussion
Of the article providing for township or.
!, ganization, many OF the delegates oppos
ing.it, on the ground that the counties
should be permitted to adopt the system
by vote of the people.
At the last session johnson of Lakota
introduced resolution providing that il
a railroad company shall issue a pass tc
one member of the legislature 1t shall
issue passes to all members-the onjec,
being to prevent discriminating in favor
of friends of the road. The resolution
was amended SO that it included al
relatives and friends of legislators ano
was then referred to the committee On
Indian affairs.
ON THE SIDE.
So many guesses have already been
hazarded as to the time at hich the
convention will take its adjournment
that delegates are now more careful in
their expressions on the subject. A
| of
mittees have made their reports, which
have been disposed of, and that prospect
ought to be good for an adjournment by
the middle Of next week at the latest.
The clerks desk ought to be cleared OF
business within few days. and then
probably the committee on revision and
adjustment will require a a>couple of days
more This revision committee, by the
way, will have very important work to
perform. Its duties will consist mainly in
arranging the articles, pruning out con.
hictlng provisions and correcting bad
grammar and awkward or ambiguous
phrases. The committee men must needs
be grammarians. E. w. Camp, who is a
member, will be good man there.
The revision committee will report a
complete constitution. made up from the
articles which have gone to it. and the
convention will then consider it section
by section for final adoption or rejection.
The report of the committee locating
public institutions is set TO be acted lp-
on tomorrow. It is said the convention
will adopt the report by a vote of As
or 80. As there are but - delegates
when all are present, it will Se seen the
adoption has 10 or II more votes than
enough to carry 1t.
