Tho last Republican State Convention IN
view Of the reapportionmcnt. adcptcd series
Of resolutions looking to the creation of the
necessary convention machinery under the new
order of things These resolutions are as fol-
lows:
Vhc-ea, The legislature Of 1892, BY a law passed
NJ IL, annual session changed, altered and constituted
now Congressional districts in this state, and
Whereas \ member Of Congress to be voted for al
the next election must be nominated In each OF said
districts, and
Whereas, In none Of the said existing districts IL
thero any committee or competent authority to call
nid convention agree upon basis OF representa-
ton therein, ana
whereas No power or authority to hN and deter

but is lodge wholly In this convention therefore, be

state Committee.
The carrying into effect of these resolutions
will doubtless be attended with some friction
here and there but it is confidently TO be ex-
pected that nothing will occur TO interfere with
the existing party harmony. "The Lockport
Journal recently printed an article in relation
TO tho new XXNth Congressional District,
which includes Niagara, GeneSee, Orleans,
Wyoming and Livingston. THE Journal ex-
pressed the hope that in the new district the
direct representation plan would be adopted.
That is. that delegates would be appointed from
each town and ward the number to be based
OH the Republican vote. The same suggestion
as to representation is made by newspapers in
other districts There is room for differences
of opinion in reference TO the plan which should
be followed. but there ought to he no room for
dissenSon growing out of the decisions which
may be reached. The main point however, is
the nomination. Give us the best men in the
districts for Congress
