United States and four delegates at large and
four alternates to attended the National ConFen-
ton to be held at Minneapolis, Minnesota on
Tuesday June I. 1892, and transacting any 9TH
er business that may properly come before 1t.
The basis of representation will be as follows
Each City, Town and Plantation will be entitled
to one delegate and for each seventy-hye votes
cast for the Republican candidate for Governor
in 1888, an additional delegate, and for frac-
ton Of forty votes in excess Of seyentyhve votes
an additional delegate.
Vacancies in the delegation Of any City,
Town or Plantation can only be filled by resi-
dents of the County in which the vacancy exists.
The State Committee will be in session in the
reception room of the Hall at nine clock on
of receiving the credentials Of delegates. Del
egates, in order to be eligible to participate in
the Convention, must be elected subsequent to
the date of the call for this Convention; and

We call attention to the following
clause In the call for the District conven
ton:
ut is the unanimous sense of this COM
mittee that delegates to future conven-
tion to nominate candidate for Repre-.
sentative to Congress, should be elected
subsequent to the call for such conven-
ton, and not under this call"
Town committees will, therefore, do
well TO bear in mind that it is not safe to
elect delegates to the convention to nomi-
nate q candidate for Representative to
Congress at the same time they do dele
gates to the conventions mentioned above,
and call their caucuses simply and only to
elect delegates to the April conventions to
be held at Bangor and Waterville.
