The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-09-23
According to Population,

A Kent country Republican, writing u
communication to the Morning News Oh
ihe question Of representation according
10 population in the selection of delegates
from New Castle county seems to think
That question does not enter into the argu
ment and that the number OF delegates
should be elected according to the wording
Of the new constitution. In other words
that the $500 voters of Kent and Sussex
counties have more rights than the l2,0o
voters in New Castle county. That the
majority should have only ono third the
say as to the number of delegates tha5
shall represent them in the State Convcn-
ton. The writer says:
If equal representation of the several
districts throughout the State is not strict
ty adhered to in our party conventions,
md the Wilmington districts are given II
larger apportionlnent of delegate. than the
respective districts outside of hat city,
they will have an advantage over other
portions Of the state in the shaping of the
party policy on all OF these questions rs
well as in the nomination of all elective
officers, including the governor and nttor-
aey general, who execute ind prosecute
The laws"
We answer 1t by asking how would

argument be based?
We give the following conundrums for
he Kent and Sussex Republicans to crack:
