Rcsolred. second.-Tbat We recommend
the 70 lowing apportionment OF the SAID
delegate for the period of ten years: In view
of the fact that jefferson aud Berkeley are
the largest counties, and each being entitled
und.r the act of the Legislature aforesaid 10
one delegate, and that by reason OF The large
number of voters over and above what Is
necessary to EN- tile each OF the said counties
OF Berkeley and Jefferson one delegate we
recommend 10 the three counties, Aforesaid
that the delegates at large be selected one
from the county OF Berkeley and the other
from the county OF Morgan for the election
Of lSg2 inasmuch as il is conceded that the
Senator 10 be nominated in the 18th sena-
torial district for the election OF % viii be
nominated from Jefferson. IN 1891 Morgan
being entitled under the arrangeme' In the
senatorial district to the senator, Berkeley
shsli have one delegate at large aud JeIer-
son one at larse, Jefferson having the hold
over senator. making her representation III
1891 equal to that OF Berkeley, tue largest
county IN the district, in '92. In 1870 Morgan
having the hold-uver senator. Berkeley Shall
have one delegate at large and Jefferson one
at large In lSgS jefferson being entitled 10
the senator, Morgan and Jefferson shall
have the two de egates at large respectively,
and 50 on In this order for the period OF ten
years, the object being, owing TO the popu!a-
ton of jefferson and Berkeley, 10 have an
equal representation, and Morgan, being the
smallest to nave at all times a representa-
tive either in the shape OF senator or
delegate. This being as the committee con-
sidering the size OF the vote in each county
TO be a fair distribution and unanimously
recommended 10 the three committees the
adoption of the same for the period afore-
I said We further recommend that If this
plan be adopted by the three committees OF
/ Berkeley, jefferson and Morgan, and by the
convention OF the 9TH delegat, district OF 1892,
