Mr. REEvES said the people of his county felt aggrieved at the action of the Couvention tn 1467 and two recent ones admitting un increased delegation from other counties, and urged the Convention to adopt tue following resolutton:— Rerolved, That tho delegates from Queens and Richmond counties in the Conventivo consist of respectively six and three. Ax those counties would still hve # majority in the convention ft would be no hardship to them, but tend to pro- mote better feeling in Suttoik. dudge AkMSTRONG and Colonel A. A. DEGRAUW ably responded to Mr, Reeves, and showed the regularity of the Convention ot 1467, cited the fact that in the iipal vote atl but two of the Suifolk county delegations supported the apportionment and voted for it, The resolution was lost. cones A. A. DEGRAUW offered the following reso- dution:. jolved, That the apportionment of delegates to the Col esional and Senatorial Conventions be sixteen tor Queens, twelve for Suitoik and eigit for Richmond county. ‘This was on the basis of about one delegate for “every 600 democratic voters. It was supported by the Queens and Kichmend county delegations as a fair apportionment, but opposed by the Suitolk dele- gation, who wished the apportionment on the basis of population. Jt was finally adopted by the votes of Bueens and Richmond counties and one vote of the Sulfoik delegation. ‘The Convention voted to recommend the different, county conventious as far as practicable to have the lesser deiegaiions in Queens county choose two deie- gates tofature Senatorial and Congressional con- Ventious; In the other counties one delegate each, and that the remaining number which the counties are entitled to be seiecied by the County convention at large, The feeling of the Suffolk county delega- tion during the Conveution was very bier agaist the action of the Convention, The following additional protests were presented by the delegates of Suilolk county, according to the instructions from their County Convention:— Resolved, That” the delegates to be elected by this Conven- tion be inetructed to protest against and refuse to participate in any action of the District Convention looking to the reap- ortionment of the delegation in ‘uture Congressivaal con- ventions, if such protest ana refusal suall be in thelr judg- ment advantageous to the interest of thelr constituents. Resolved, That the delegates elected by tiis Convention be Instructed ‘to urge upon the District Conyeution an adjourn- ment uuill the population of the counties can be ascertained ua shown by the cousus to be taken next June, say until some ‘time fn Septeimber next.
