The Basis of Representation.

At the last meeting of the Republican
National commttee a resolution was in
troduced by Henry Il. Payne. of Wis
consin. to base the apportionmen of
delegates to the National convention on
the number of votes cast by the Re-
publican party at the preceding presl-
Dental election. It was contended by
Mr.. Payne, as we'll as by others who
supported the resolution, that the COM
mittee. as at present constituted, gives
TO delegates from strong Democratic
states an influence and power which
are unfair to the representatives from
other states whose electoral vote is al
ways cast for the Republican nominee.
His contention was that the convention
should be composed of delegates who
represent the actual strength Of the Re-
publican party in the several states,
and that this was the only fair basis of
superintendent
The counter claim was made by the
Southern members that In their section
the full Republican vote was never per-
mitted to appear in the returns. and
that to baze representation on the ac-
tual vote counted would be to encour-
age the Democrats to suppress the Re-
publican vote yet further. No decision
was reached, at the time; in fact, Seha-
tor Quay has recently shown that the
National committee is powerless to de-

The ridiculous charge that Gen.
eral Hastings, while superintend-
dns the relief operations at
Johnstown, appropriated to his own
use funds contributed for the relief
of victims of the great flood would
probably never have been noticed by
the present chief executive of Pennsyl-
vania had it not been publicly made by
man who had at one time held an i'm
portant public position. When Ex-
District Attorney O'Connor, OF Cam
bria county, made such an insinuatlon
at Democratic political meeting and
afterward repeated it to representa-
tives of the press, it assumed sufficient
gravity to Justify instant action at
law.
At the recent trial at Ebensburg, it
was proved by dozens of reputable wit
nesses. including ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Watres, of this city, that Gen.
eral Hastings not only did not steal a
dollar Of public money, but also that
had he been disposed to act dishonora-
bly, the arrangements governing the
distribution of the flood relief funds
would have rendered it utterly impossi-
BILE for him to do so. Not a dollar
passed through his hands: and not a
dollar was paid from any source with
out a written statement as to its origin
and destination Thus even mean
man could not have acted meanly in
this case; and there Is no one at Johns
town or among the sufferers of that
awful disaster who will say that Daniel
II. Hastings was a mean man during
the agonizing days OF rescue and re-
construction along the ruln-littered
banks of the Conemaugh.
If anybody had believed Mr.. OCon-
nor's reckless libel, the jury verdict
awarding $1,000 damages would have
been painfully insufficient. As 1t was,
the sum is adequate to constitute a
legal vindication. which was all the
governor needed In view of the sratify-
ing unanimity with which the OConnor
slander was repudiated by press and
public from the first moment following
its utterance.
