| Text | "It is humbly suggested that it might be a most important saving of time, money and breath, if the House of Representatives, when any great party question is to be agitated, would choose sides, as is done at a game of ball or Cricket; or elect 3 or 4 Champions out of each party whose contest should decide the victory." |
