THE Milwaukee Sentinel says as follows
in reference to the clause on minority rep
resentstion in our new constitution "The
part of the new constitution most interesting
TO the country at large, is that which pro
vides for minority representation. The
sections relating to this subject were sub
mit,ed separately, and are probably ratified
BY ten Thousand majority. The experiment
thus inaugurated will be watched with deep
interest by all the states. It's fate in Hi
nois will doubtless settle the question of
minority representation for the whole cour-
try. This provision does not take effect
until 1872 1t was not practicable to arrange
the districts IN season for the election Daxt

not be elected until 1872 This upavoitlsbls
delay at time when the subject is engapiup

unfortunate, as it may lead to the adoption
of the innovation else where before it's value
