5ih. Adjournment OF the meeting"
The method Of voting 10 the above
proposed resolution was eminently
fair, as we'll as the customary way at
that precinct and 10 our own judge
ment was the only practicable way
for such a large crowd Of voters,
about equally divided numerically on
their choice for governor, to get a
fair vote of all. and to challenge per-
sons not entitled to vote.
Therefore we believe that such un-
democratic proceedings as took place
at the Lexington precinct should be
disapproved by this Convention.
However, in view of the fact that
80, out of large number of Reed
voters did vote and were counted, we
recommend that the following dele.
cation from Lexington Township be
entitled to seats in this convention,
namely: Fred Young, Min c. McFadin
James G. Dunlap Killion p Long,
Lee ]. Slusher, John Wilmot, Wat. P
