The great fight in the Legislature

Speaker of the House, agreed sub

Just as the original bill did, and. more

May and the 18th OF June.
After the delegates are nominated
the respective county and city election
boards meet and certify the vote to the
Secretary of the Commonwealth. There
upon, the State Board Of Canvassers
meet and send to each delegate chosen
a certificate Of election.
The pay of the delegates to the con-
vention, as prescribed by the Legis
lature, shall be 81 per day, and the
members shall be entitled 10 the same
mileage and privileges as members OF
the General Assembly.

Constitution comes up for ratification

voters for ratif cation.
GOVERNORS RELUCTANT SIGNATURE.
"God save the Commonwealth" said
Governor Tyler Saturday afternoon, as
be sat at his big desk In the Executive
office. Then he took up his pen arc
affixed his signature to the bill pro
viding for the Constitutional Couven
ton. The Governor did not sign the
bill willingly. His chief objection was
to that feature which provides for thu
election Of delegates from House dis
tricts. He thinks very powerful in
fiuence will be exercised by county
officers in the choice Of delegates, ant
that the men chosen may feel hampere(
in dealing with constitutional provis'

signed the bill, though he took long
