Gentlemen of the Senate:

The House of Delegates propose to your Honorable Body
that the two Houses, attended by their Clerks and Sergeants-

purpose of conducting the election of State Treasurer; the

own tellers, and all ballots to be counted in the presence of
the two Houses, by its tellers, and to be announced by the
respective presiding officers of the two Houses ; the Rules of
the House of Delegates, so far as applicable, to govern the
Joint Sessions, and the Speaker of the House of Delegates to
preside over the Joint Sessions, with the President of the Sen-
ate seated on his right hand.
By order,

Chief Clerk.

Mr. Earle moved a suspension of the balloting for Trea-

The President ruled Mr. Earle's motion out of order.
