J. B. Timmony arose to present a mi
5Tity report. He was called to the
Platform and presented a report signed
by ". II. Dale, J. 3. TimmOny and H.

traction of seventy, and that each cleo
ton district be entitled to elect the
delegates apportioned to it, The vote

Mr.. MOyla announced his intention of
taking an appeal when Mr.. Timmony,
having corrected the errors in his re-
port, presented it TO the convention.
