day. A large number of delegates and
proxies were present Marshal Jewell pre-
sided. subcommittee consis ting OF George
G. Gcrham, Edward e. Mcpherson and

pointed by Secretary Dorsey to consider and
report plan Of representation III the national

nOrty report. The majority report submitted
by Chandler and McIhc rson, proposed that

ed of four delegates at large, from each state,

should be chosen by the voters OF their re-
sDective districts, and at conventions held III

gates from each state, equal to twice the num-
Der of senators and representatives in con-
gress, and that republicans OF each state
should direct the manner OF choosing It's
delegates. Alter discussion the two reports

Quoted themselves well. For instance tliele

Columbus, Ohio, special says: TO say

Tyner must go because Brady had to 60, tor
