terday received from the board Of di-
rectors of that bank copies of resolu-
tons recommending the reappointment
Of James Megary, Henry c. Conrad
and William Baxter as directors on the
part OF the State. They were read in
beth bodies.
The House took up the resolution re-
appointing them. Mr.. Robertson at
once offered an amendment substituting
the name of Edmund Mitchell, Jr, for
that of Mr. Baxter. Mr.. Healy moved
that the amendment be laid on the
table. By a vote Of l9 to 13 that was de-
! feated.
Mr.. Baynard, who was anxious to
have William Lawton appointed
moved that final action be deferred one
day but the Mitchell men were taking
no risks. They voted down his propO-
sition by a score of 10 to 13, and then
the resolution, in it's amended form
I was adopted by a vote of 25 to z and
sent to the Senate for concurrence.
