 mentary report: Eeporting Bro. James Manly, of McDon- 

 ough county, entitled to a seat in this body. 



Report adopted. 



Committee on Appeals and Grievances made the follow- 

 ing report: 



In the case of the Lee County Grange No. 53, referred 

 to your Committee, your Committee report, that the 

 credentials of Bro. C. J. Roosbrook appear to be correct, 

 and recommend that he be received as delegate. Your 

 Committee would report, that Bro. M. L. Arnold contests 

 the validity of the election of Bro. C. J. Roosbrock, and 

 would suggest that he be given an opportunity to make a 

 statement of the case to the State Grange. We also suggest 

 that inasmuch as Bro. M. L. Arnold is here in the interests 

 of harmony and the good of the order in Lee county, that 

 the State Grange take action to allow Bro. Arnold's 

 traveling expenses. We would further recommend that 

 the By-Laws be so amended as to establish, beyond doubt, 

 the proper mode of electing delegates to the State Grange.
