in tho LegisIature-Wili bo sent to City Convention and Constables and Selectmon by Town Convention.

Selectmon by Town Convention.
 The republican city and town con- ventions met last night in Republican hail and both bodies unanimously pass ed resolutions showing that they are earnest in their demands for increased representation in the legislature. Cop ies of the resolution will be sent through the New Haven delegate to Hartford and to every member of the constitu- tional convention. The 1irst resolution offered by ex-Mayor Frederick B. Farnsworth, called forth stirring speeches for it's adoption by Colonel I. M, Ullman, A. Mcclellan Mathewson, and others, and was as follows: \
 Whereas, The republican voters of New Haven are not fairly represented in nomina ting conventions of the par ty.
 And, whereas, Repeated petitions and most earnest efforts have not availed in state conventions to secure any con- sderation of the subject and it has been made plain in many ways that the minority, controlling the party machin- cry of the state will never voluntarily consent to any change from the pres ent unjust and un-republican system;
 And whereas, We believe that in con
 
 vention for nominations of candidates for office or the discussion of party policies every republican voter should be represented on an equality with ev- cry other republican voter within re- gard to place of residence:
 Resolved, That our town committee be and hereby is directed to prepare a plan for representation in all republican rule of representation from the wards in our city and town conventions and when future town conventions to elect delegates to any other convention are held, the number of delegates to which the republicans of New Haven are en- | titled, based on the vote cast for the last republican nominee for governor, shall be specified in the call and duly elected
 Resolved, further; That a committee be appointed by this convention to pre- pare an address to the republican voters of the state calling attention to the in justice of the present system and the | long continued and obstinate opposition l lf the minority to any change. That | said committee be urged in the name of | he republican voters of New Haven to | 10 all in their power to enlist the coop i eration of all republican voters who | are now defrauded of their rights by l reason of their place of residence, in | a system of representation in all conventions based on vote cast for | ast republican nominee for governor if | necessary in defiance of party rules | which are and long have been arbitra- lily kept in force by stubborn and minority.
 This set of resolutions was unani- adopted fipst at the city and | hen al the town convention The com nittees as suggested in the resolutions were appointed as follows: By James 3.
