The verbal assault was led by Isaac

committee, who insisted the committee
was treating the three wards unfairly in
switching delegates from them to other
wards He gave warning that such action
was likely To have no good effect on the
party in the county in the future. so far
as harmony is concerned. particularly at
the present time when a strenuous Presi-
dental campaign is impending
John LYNN Of the Ninth ward and
Charles Grantland of the Eighth ward de-
Tended the action of the committee, and
when the voting stage was finally reached
through maze Of motions and rulings,
surrounded on all sides by much talk, the
attempt to have the representation in
the three wards restored was lost by a
narrow margin.
The Eleventh ward came IN paricu-
larry for lot Of talk, and there was
heightened color in some faces while
the discussion was going on. BY the
transfer the representation from that
ward is reduced from two 10 one, whereas
there has heretofore been a loud protest
