ton. A vote heing taken, Mr.. Work
man, with the consent Of tho chair-
man, persisted in voting on his own
right to sit az member Of the COM
mittee, u thing unheard Of IN pArlia-
mentary law. The member putting
the motion refused to count Mr.. Work
mans vote, and he WAS therefore de-
ella red not elected to act ~ IneInber
Of the committee.
Other mot ions were then made BY
various members Of the committee,
pertaining to the business for which
the committee had convened, &ll Of
which thei chairman arbitrarily and
without cause, refused to entert ain.

Your committee immediately then
proceeded to reorganization By the ap-
pointn,ent of chairman and secretary,
which latter Office had also teen arbl-
trarily hlicd by the outgoing chairmaM.
After completing the organization, Il
appearing that majority of the conn
mittee was present In person or...by
proxy, they proceeded to the filling of
vacancies where they had occurred
through den.h, resignation, removal
from the state or apostacy from the ic-
publ'can party, the latter cause being
most prolific IN occasioning vacancies.
