ron this Report there were differences in Committee,

IN 10 begin education at SCHOOL,
Tie BASES of Representations.
While was absent for half an hour OF the alter
noon sitting Yesterday, Mr.. CHATFIElD proposed
10 change the basis OF representation, which Is now
declared 10 be equality of population as near as
NAV be- excluding aliens. paupers. and persons OF
color no, taxed and which DR. Tay lor Committee
have adopted see G. Ar, !, Of present Constitu
ton. and ) OF Conventions Conmiitees proposed
amendmentsl by including aliens. paupers. and I'M
taxed negroes ns part of the basis on which repre-
sentstion should rest. MIR. CoSoR and Mr. MUIR
PLY took the same side, strongly advocating the
principle that New. ork which has already 10 mem
bers in Assembly was entitled TO three more because
that city has transient population OF some 7OouO,
whose homes. they admit, as regards aliens, are
in other lands and who may be ordered 40 miles into
the interior. in 1912 should war break out. as
trust il will not, with the lands OF their NATIVITY
Messrs WoRDES. JORDAN and LOOKS opposed
this change and Mr.. Chstted himself abandoned 1t
this morning. except as 10 PAUPERs whom the Con
ventlon agreed 10 include.
Messrs KIRKLAND. RHoADEs MARVIN. TILDES
and WATERBURY this morning opposed Mr. CHAT
FIELDS proposition, but upon different grounds -
Mr.. RHoADEs wanted 10 make the ELECTORS the
basis of the representation as did Mr.. STRONG, but
Mr. WoRDES did not intend 10 leave II 10 the per.
sons who might happen TO DC employed 10 take the
census 10 decide who were and no we're not elect
ors Mr.. RHoADEs thought that by excluding aliens
from the basis the Convention would exclude ihose
subjects OF Legislation who come here, take the
oath and intend 10 become citizens BY including
manners half OF whom were either aliens or black
people. the Convention had, IL part, included the
other asses excepted in 52l and by including tax
ed coored people, basis OF representation might De
framed in PARK from class who mfhi not be al
lowed 10 continue 10 vote. Mr.. BAKER remarked
that the Committee on Suffrage had reported an ar
tice which if adopted, would render the words,
persons Of colo. no, taxed unnecessary and
improper exception. New-YorA had already more
than lis share OF representation, according 10 the
basis adopted in the Constitution. Ii bad 10 mem
bers here and in the Assembly, although It's popu-
laton entitled 10 be represented was only $4,000.
while other Counties which be named contained
2e6 900 and had bu, y members.
The Convention refused 10 adopt the number OF
ELkcToRs as a basis Of re presentation.
Mr. KIRKLAND alluded 10 the fact that there was
at one time number Of the inhabitants OF this
State who were entitled 10 the greatest consideration
the poslerity OF those from u HON we bad ~resec
the lands now enjoyed butli large numoers OF
those Indians were now residing In particular Coun-
ties OF the West he thou ght II would be unjust 10 give
the electoral body in those Counties greater repre-
sen,aton than they would have otherwise been entl
tied 10 So OF the aliens in New York-less perDa-
nent Than the others-if Mr- Chsitelds amendment
were adopted, the 00Q0 electors say OF New OK
would exercise power equal 10 10000 10 10 coo
electors residing in other parts of the State, and the
electors OF Kings and New FORK would have much
larger direct influence in the Legislature than any
other equal number OF electors In other parts OF the
State.
$50, TOO when the Erie Canal in progress, vast
numbers OF aliens from other States snd Canada settled
temporarily near the works
Mr. K also referred TO the Compromise OF l7:9,
whereby the slaves are made Southern represen-
,s,ive basis He was guided BY no sectional or To-
cal feeling had il been so, his County Oneida
would probably have gained. on The whole, BY the
proposed change.
When Mr.. Chatied had abandoned his position.
Mr.. BERGEN OF Kings, rose and moved 10 strike out
the clause excluding aliens and uutaNed black PEG
pie from being coun,ed part OF the people. for
the purpose OF regulating the number OF Senators
Sc 70 which each stcion Of The STATE is entitled.
