A plan Of reorganization Of the Republican
party In all the Greater New York territory 10
soon 20 DO developed. This announcement was
made at the meeting Of the Now York County
Committee at the Murray Hill Lyceum last
night. The prevailing notion 10 that there will
b o general city committee. which will DO
supreme In party government, for the territory.
with county, borough. and district committees
subordinate thereto. Such q plan, IL 10 undor.
stood. will involve an absolutely new enroll
ment throughout tho entire territory, with con.
ditions Intended to be acceptable to every Re-
publican. Until such plan and organization are
perfected tho present organizations will be con-
tinued.
President ouigg was greeted with three
cheers when he assumed the chair last evening.
Postmaster Van Colt, from tho COMMITTEES on
Organization, presented q report on tho subject
Of representation In the committee for 1898.
The constitution requires that representation
be based on ths vote for the head of the State
ticket at the last preceding election. Tho report
was to tho effect that the vote for Governor or
for Secretary OF State was meant, and should be
the basis Of representation. The report was
adopted. and 1t was decided that the representa-
ton should DO based on the vote for Governor
last year. The County for $685.,
therefore. will consist Of the Same number Of
member AZ for this year.
On the recommendation of the COMMITTEE on
Organization that committee was charged with
the duty Of arranging the enrolment lists for
the primaries 30 a. to conform to the new nun.
her of election districts. $50. instead OF 1 1892.
The Committee on Organization further re-
ported that the section Of the constitution which
disqualiles an election district association that
fails TO cast a. many votes for tho head Of the
Republican ticket as there are members
enrolled cannot be applied this year, because
Of the changes in the election district lines. The
Committee on Organization was directed to in.
vestigate tho condition Of the party in the
several election districts. James Yereance Of
the Twenty-ninth rose to offer o resolution. He
declared that Q third Of tho enrolment in the
Twenty-ninth 10 dishonest, and said that to
secure the cooperation and support of honest
Republicans the whole enrolment must be
pursed before the December primaries. When
