| MR.. BROOKS KICKS.
| Mr.'Brooks objected to the report ol
the committee, in so far as it apper-
tanned to the Monterey delegation. Tise
committee had reported that Delegate
| Green should cast the vote OF that en-.
tire delegation. He moved that Mr.

but one Monterey delegate, for which
he held proxy. s
| Mr.. Green stated that he held but ons
proxy, but the committee of Monterey
county had instructed him to cast the
full vote of the delegation.
Mr.. Nickel wanted to know If the
parties who expected proxies from Mon.
terey county resided in that county.
7. Il. Gibbon wanted to know if the
proxies.expected had been sent, TO the
certain knowledge of anyone.
| The ueply was that no one was posi-
tive that proxy had been or would be
sent to anyone.
b. Mr.. Gibbon then moved, as an aaaend.
ment, that Mr.. Green be allowed to cast
| the vote of Monterey county until some
other gentleman appeared with the
proper proxies.
