The result of the election for members OF the
Constitutional Convention, as settled by the official
canvass is not yet known. but enough is known to
make it sure that the Republicans will have 'Vnrk-
ing majority in that body, which will secure fair
and impartial apportionment of the new state for
members Of the first Legislature and members OF
Congress. Had the present apportonmeh1 Deeh
lust and equal, the Republican majority IN the Con
venton would be much larger. lt was maze TWO
