proxies would be received from the
first, second, third, fourth, fifth and

and kilograms from prominent
Republicans Of the nation were read
and short speeches made amidst
much enthusiasm. When the com
uitlee on credentials reported the

allowed twenty-five members from
the first ward. w. r. Hume, dele

The matter was finally settled by
adopting that part of the report over
which there was 10 dispute, and
referring the disputed sections. Con-
