Vine business was transacted in the
forenoon, but the prospect was for
considerable. business in this after
noon. A resolution proposing CEN
sorship for papers sending represent
atives to the meetings was tabled by
unanimous vote. Daviess was the
only county showing a decided loss in
representation, but there was falling
off in the representation from Ohio

finally amended TO show that Daviess
county did not vote on the motion
at all, and the vote of Mclean coun-

adoption of the resolution, excluding
the Home Warehouse people. A. II.
Lee, of Mclean offered the original
resolution on the matter Of union and
non-union factories in greensboro,

constitution did not provide what
should constitute quorum.
