Women, the blacks and the young are the principal beneficiaries of that effort. The Pennsylvania delegation, for example, has more than doubled the delegate count of each group compared to its numbers in Chicago. In the case of the under-30 set, representation has nearly tripled. But not without cost. The established politicians, the traditional party workers and the entire galaxy of individuals which used to be THE party are more than skeptical about the new MIAMI BEACH The post pended from the Convention Hall ceiling.

"About the only ones they can identify are the two KennedVs and Thomas Jefferson." Many of the Old Guard's judgments of those they see as rivals are unfair, but they are widespread. And the divisions are bitter. Democrats have always loved a good brawl, but they have always done it with the basic understanding that they're all good party members who sooner or later will patch up their differences to do battle with the Republicans. The current divisions are not quite the same. Many of the insurgents believe in the "system" but see the party as merely a means toward that end.

The Old Guard senses this. But so does the New Guard. A new charter proposed for the party is in part a recognition of the need to build a binding loyalty even stronger than that of the past.

But the former governor, who served as Humphrey's Pennsyl-vania campaign chairman, emerged as the unanimous choice after hours of behind-the-scenes negotiations between representatives of the various factions.

It was a dispute in this area Sunday night over allocations for houses for Catholics and Protes-tants that the IRA said sparked its decision to end the cease-fire.
