Ject TO some such basis OF representation Is
that suggested by Gen. Ashley Of OHIO. The
plan proposed,'s simply this: 1st' G'se to
each Congressional District, IN all the States,
which wish to be represented, one delegate, and
one additional delegate for every 5000 Repub-
hean votes cast at the last Congressional e'eo-
tion, and it the traction over 600 in any dis
'r'ct sha'l exceed 5'"oo' another delegate. "a.
Four delegates to represent the State at large
Sd. Each district to choose l'S own de!cgates.
and the delegates at large to be chosen to hy
State Conventions. tie proposes that IN dis

ton Democrats united with the Republicans as
in Pennsylvania. Indiana, hc" York and Ne"
jersey, to tuke tile whole opposition rote al the
