REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

Official list, showing the number Of
delegates which the different cities,
towns and plantations are entitled to.
20 cities, 421 towns. and IS plantations,
entitled to 1926 delegates.
Republican State Committee,
Augusta, Maine, May 2, 1885,
The basis of representation in the call
for the Republican State convention to
be held at Augusta, Tuesday. June q,
1898, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for Governor to be supported
at the September election.
Each city, town and plantation will
be entitled to one delegate and for each
rs votes cast for the Republican candi-
date for Governor in 1896, an additional
delegate, and for fraction of 40 votes
in excess of rs votes a further addi-
tional delegate.
That there may be no misunderstand-
ing the secretary Of the committee has
made q classification of delegates based
upon this representation. The town rr
plantation which threw "a votes Is, I'M
der this call, only entitled to one dele
gate. In order to get a second delegate
it must have thrown rs votes for the
Republican candidate for Governor in
1896. The fraction of 40.votes to give
another delegate, must be in excess Of
70 votes.
1t is hoped that if any errors are
discovered in the list they will be
promptly reported to the secretary so
that all mistakes may be corrected.
