convention: 1t was not without a great
deal Of DELHI Grafton and consideration
that so small minority Of the commit
tee as has signed that report, which is
signed by six members of the state CEN
trail committee, has presented it, but they
believed that it was necessary and in
the interest of fairness and justice that
they should state their position before
this convention and to ask in a fair way
a determination of their rights from the
floor of this house. Great Applause).

trail committee attempts to exercise in

they claim to exercise under a resolution
1885, I desire to call the attention Of

there was no caucus law in this state and
