Mr. 4. II. Wright said, before adopting any
thing Of this kind, it would be better to consider
the Complications likely to arise in forming
new basis ct representation. The conyention
had been called together upon basis OF repre-
sentation which had been decided by the Coun-
ty Central Committee IS proper and equitable
one. The resolution proposed an entirely dif-
ferent representation and he would propose, Us
q substitute, that each delegation from the Com
missioner districts and wards be entitled to its
fair quota Of representation on the basis OF rep
rcscntation Of the Convention, which, In MI,
would make eighty delegates to Springfield.

Der OF altcrnates.
