Deeubiican Convention Appertlsn'
ment.
There are two plans for the appoint
mt Of delegates to the Republican Ma
ipual Convention, the Forbes plan and
y Chandler. Mcpherson plan. The
|mbes plan would make the convention
smaller than that Of looO,
Ihioh had 75G members. Forbes thinks
% delegates quite enough. The plan
Chandler and Mcpherson calls for
bout a thousand delegates. Forbes's
lan gives each State, after IL has been
varded one delegate at large for each
snat0r, one district delegate for each
representative in Congress and an add
ionsl delegate at large for each Re-
ablican Senator in the existing Con-
~. The Chandler and Mcpherson
soyides for additional delegates in pro-
pftion TO the Republican representation
( each state in the then existing or
ut preceding Congress. On this basis
IN York in 1880 would have had 80
hlegates, in 1882 only II. The Chand-
: 4cPhersOn plan gives, in all, l023;
" Forbes plan. GA. The following is
