pear partisanship seems bound to creep
into it before the end. The latest in.
stance is the action OF the Senate this
morning on the bill creating State
Board OF Agriculture. The bill proYldes
for the appointment by the Governor Of
one member from each Congressional
district, who shall be a practical farmer
and engaged in n9 other occupation.
Senator Campbell moved to amend by
adding: mot more than two OF whom
shall be OF one political party" The
amendment was defeated by a strict
party vote. The Democrats evidently
don't intend to let the large and respect.
