DOVER, Aug. 25.-If Senator A. B.
Conner carries out the intention an
nounced early this morning the State
convention, which meets at 2 o'clock,
win have another big fight on its
hands. Conner says he will offer a
resolution to change the apportionment
OF delegates to the convention. He
proposes to advocate the old Union Re
publicans apportionment. and will try
to line up Kent and Sussex against
New Castle. Conner proposes to give
Wilmington 35 delegates instead of 3S
as at present; rural New Castle, so
instead of 40; Kent so instead of 40
and Sussex so instead of AZ.
This is five delegates from each Rep
.resentative district, except the Second
and Third of Wilmington, Republican
strongholds, which are to be given
10 delegates each.
This would give New Castle county,
with its big voting population, IS dele
gates and Kent and Sussex 100 dele
gates, thus giving the lower end of
the state full power in all conventions.
At the opening of the convention at
