districts as they are respectively entitled to delegates in the Gener-
al Assembly, one of which said delegates shall be elected in each
of said districts; and shall also divide the city of Baltimore into
ten districts of contiguous wards and as nearly as may be of equal
population, and each of said districts shall be entitled to elect one
delegate to the General Assembly."
