IL the Republican party shall ever
hold ansiher Convention 10 Washing
ton Territory which We hope will net
be possible. for the very sufficient reason
that txo years hence tie Territory will
have b.coUe Stats-there will be no
proxies therein. Every mar holding =
seAt will have been choSeR thereto by
the Republicans OF his county, TO whom
he will be personally responsible for the
execution of the trust confided to his
keeping. The Republican Central Com
miitee. at its meeting yesterday, unani-
nously passed the following resolu.
lion:
Resolved, That the use of proxies in
Republican Territorial Conventions be
abolished, and that in future Couvep-
tons the delegates present from each
county be allowed to cast the entire
vste Of that county, which shall be di-
ylded among them pro rata.
This is a resolution that will meet
with the unqualified approval of every
honest eleotor. The evils of proxy re-
presentation are manifold, and at times
so Rlaring as TO amount to an outrage
