believe the wishes and interests of TIN

I. The question involved is purel.
nolitical. and should be settled upol
- considerations of justice and soun'
h. party policy.
=, 2. Mitchell county was cut OIL from tn

&c earnest protest of the Representativ
Il and nine-tenths of the good people q
that county, whose wishes were n
more consulted than if they had been

&c 3. This ac; of 1891 gave the sth dis
ad trict population of !9O,1S4, n'lmDe
greater than the legal ratio under tn
of law of Congress which we have swor
to suppOrt. and left the 9th distrit
IN with a population of 1868, numbe
~ ~ less than the legal ratio established

,o The proposed transfer, without a
