APpoRTioNMeNT OF DELEGATES.
Precinct Representation IN the Guberna-
toriAi Convention-uenrieo To-Day.

Precinct Hepresentaton III TUG U"ooASe
toriai Convention-uenrico To-Day.
Mr.. Jefferson Wallace. secretary of tho
CITY Democratic Committee, to whom was
assigned the duty of apportioning among
the various precincts Of the city the l0l
delegates to which Richmond will be en-
titled III the gubernatorial convention,
completed the WORK yesterday. The basis
of representation Is delegate TO each
100 votes, or fraction thereof over 90, cast
for Cleveland and Stevenson last Novein-
Der. The figures upon which the appor-
tionment was based are the official figures
and were obtained from the Clerk or the
Hustngs Court.
In fixing the number of delegates for the
precincts in Jackson Ward the rule had 10
be varied slightly. The total vote cast IN
the ward last fall was as follows: First
Precinct. SO; Second Precinct. 81; Third
Precinct, l9l Fourth Precinct. 2s9-totaI,
sol. From this II will be seen that the
ward is entitled to but SIX delegates, yet
II each precinct were given delegate for
each 100 votes cast. or fraction thereof
over fifty the ward would get seven dele
gates. Acting upon the principle that each
precinct shonld have some reprssen tation.
Mr. Wallace gave the first and second pre-
cincts one delegate each. leaving four de-
legates tor the other TWO precincts, which
were divided equally between the two.
This was, without question, the fairest
way In which the apportionment could
have been made under the circumstances.
ko similar difficulty was met with in ep-
port,oning the delegates IN the other
wards, each precinct getting oil the dele
gates to which their vote entitled them.
The number OF delegates given each pre-
cinct Is as follows:
Clay Ward First Preciuct, dclegstes;
Second Precinct, 9; Third Precinct, 81
