boasted Of the fact that all of its
proceedings were open to the pub

In the official can for the ccnNen-
ton several changes are noted in the
representation OF the different coun-

six delegates by Bernalillo which in
the last convention had twenty-five
deleeates, but in this one must be
content with nineteen. The basis ot
representation adopted provides one
delegate at large for each county ana
one delegate for every hundred or
major fraction thereof of the vote
cast for the republican candidate FOR
governor in the November 9TH dis
