This last table seems to recall atten ton TO the de-
maDd that has arisen in many quarters looking 10
new plan of representation IN National Conventions.
Under the present plan the Southern states IN which
the party is weakest are given over Onethird Of tho
eutrc number of votes in the convention while IL
representation was based upou the Republican vote
of each State they would have less than 300. and
the rest of the States over 900. Several plans have
been submitted to the National Committee since tho
last National Convention met-nOtably one pre-
pared by Senator Frye of Maine looking TO a moro
equitable represent itiOn. But the committee de-
clinel to make any change. The matter Will doubt
less be brought to the attention of the coming con-
vention.
On Monday last THE TRIBUNE published series
Of tables showing Mr.. Blaines vote the first ball
loft in the National COny entOns of 1876 and 1850,
and his probable corresponding vote in ths cOnven-
ton of this year. 1t appeared from these figures
that in the states IN which the battle Is to be won
or lost next fall his support has increased nearly
tenfod since 1915, and nearly doubled itself snca
1850. The estimate Of his strength in the conven.
tion OF next month gave him 3JS votes, or within
J3 votes ola majority. Since these figures were
printed deegatesatarge and district delegates
have been chosen in the following States and Terri"
tories Maine, New HAMPSHIRE, Vermont. Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, North Carolina. Florida, Kentucky, Iowa,
Kansas Minnesota, Colorado Texas, Oregon, Cali
torua, Nevada, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Utah.
And the result Of these numerous elections shows
that Air Blane's strength was under rather than
over estimated in our calculation. We allowed him
~ votes in Maryland. 13 are figured up for him.
We allowed him in Virginia. Those he will have
in any event. while if the " straghtoutS' are adj
mltted to the convention, he will probably be sup
! ported by the entire delegaton-2i. We allowed
