regardless of tu correctness.'
The repoHer starts In by saying
j^hat the representative from Rich

show, and that the people don't know
what they want. That be h.\s forced
upon Richland township a read law
and a recorders cocrt without giving
the/n any knowledge or information,
and In spulte of the fact that the ree
l-orders court was to tad down two
years ago, Now allow me to say
(that all of the above paragraph Is aV
solutely false and without founda
tion. The facta are^lhat by refer
ence to Public |?vs of ltO?. page

ed himself that such a court waa
treated for Richland townahlp ana
duly ratified, but being unwilling to
organise tbe oourt untl' the people
had spoken, an eloctjf* . was called
and the majority rote 0t aald elec
tion was against the' oourt. and It
waa therefore never established A
portion of aald township voted In fa
vor of the coprt, and following their
expreealon amj, at tbe dJh^ct request
of these people who voted I felt It
my duty ns the^r representative 16
give It to them, which I have done
excluding all aectlons of said town
ship who opposed the same, and for
my action I have no apology .to make
aa I bate obeyed tge majority.
