I Total vote .tUjOtt lt will iie perceived that In only one Dem? ocratic district, thai represented by Guy, was tr-ere a Urger number of voters than in any of the Republican districts. Five of the seven H" yTUbllcan districts were larger than any one of the Democratic districts. Six of the seven Dem? ocratic districts have far less voters than the seven Republican districts. In all the seven Rj - publican districts contain ll,473 more voters than the seven Democratic districts, i >ne Democratic district, O'Sullivan's, contains only 16.11*** votes. Taking as a basia the Republican sicons * 81.473 voters, who may be considered to he un? represented In the Legislature, there could be five Senate districts carved out In the interior of the Btate. ls lt altogether fair also that lt should take 44.259 votes lo elect a Senator In Senator Coggeshall's district, and only 15.199 votes In Senator O'Sullivan's district?

VjR'iM Tar bkul'i.ak onnaass>OSuaari of mr. triiic**-? Albany. Oct. 21?Senator Hill as the Demo? cratic candi late for Qovemoi is putting forth all the strength of th.- Democratic party t., de? feat the proposed amendment of the Constltu- I tion adopted by the Republican majority Of the | Constitutional Convention reapportioning the Senate and Assembly districts. This amendment i must be defeated, he says, if nothing else ls ac? complished at the N'ovemb i election. Mr. Hill's uncommon anxiety to defeat the j legislative apportionment amendment ls baaed upon a pera mal motive?his desire for a re-elec? tion as Knited States Bena! ? In l*F7. Even If ; elected Governor the present fall, he wishes to | be re-elected Senator In 1197. when his present term expires, His hostility to the proposed con? stitutional amendment, is not based upon any conviction that lt ls unjust, but solely upon the thought that it upsets his own Legislative Ger? rymander Act of 1892. and provides a sufficiently fair representation to th.- Republican party to give lt a chance, with good candidates, to carry the tasji Silt liff Mr. Hil] also, having stolen the Legislature of 1S92. wishes to retain posses? sion of some of th" property which he then ac? quired. One of these hits of stolen Jewelry was the Legislative Gerrymander Act with it upon t^e statute books. Mr. HUI hopes. aft"r the present "virtuous spasm" of the voters of the State has passel away, to he easily re-elected as Knited States Senator; and also to bring about the re-election In 1*99 of his (hum, Edward Murphy, Jr., Of Troy, as Knited Stabs S. nator. By 1899 possibly the murder of Robert Rosa the Republican watcher at the polls in Troy, by one of Murphy's heelers may bc forgotten. Mr. Hill is prolific in assertions that the leRis latlve apportionment am -rdrnent is-unfair, and conveniently forgets thc unjust character of the present apportionment of the Senate and Assem? bly, mad" by the Dem-jcratic Legislature of 1S92. The legislative apportionment amendment is not unfair, and thi Gerrymander Act of 1H92 ought to bc repealed by thc pe ?ple, by their vot? ing for the legislative apportionment amend? ment. Mr. Hill also protests against any in? crease of the number of Senators and Assembly? men. It is sufficient to reply p> that argument that several State Constitutions early in the century provided for increases in the number of members of the NiglllBtilii The Constitution of 1S21, for instance, .provided that thc number of Senators should be thirty-two. and that there skouid be loo Assemblymen; and, further, that the numb->r of Assemblymen should be Increasi d after each census at thc rate of two yearly, until they reached the number of HO, All the constitutional conventions whlcn have been held in the State have made apportionments of the legislative dist ric ta An apportionment wai made in 17;- ..hen lt was adopted, in Uti when it was ad ipte I, In HM when lt was adopted, and in 1S67 when it was rejected. The Increase of the number of Senators from 32 to f.O, and of the Assemblymen from 12s to US, was made necessary by the increase of p fil? iation in the State, and also by the fact that with such an arrangement a fairer division of the Senate and" Assembly districts, could be made.. The present number of Senators, thirty two, was Axed in l*r'l. when the State had a population "f only C0".fi0a. The provision In the Constitution that no county shall bc divided In the creation of a Senate district has always im? posed a heavy duty upon those engaged in ar? ranging the Senate districts. It bas been difTi cult under that requirement not to leave large bodies of voters unrepresented in the Legislature or to evade creating districts of uwoual size In point of population. A Senate of fifty members, lt was found, left fewer unrepresented voters, and accordingly it was adopte 1. UNDOING A WRONG. Tt has been well said, however, by Kim R. Brown, pf Watertown, the chief author of the plan of apportionment adopted, that, notwith? standing the precedent for apportionment, the Constitutional Convention of this year would not have submitted an apportionment "bul tot the gross unfairness of the pres. nt apporf]jfc$ ment made at a special session of the Legisla? ture in D92. Which sat inly two days and did not debate the subject at all." Mr. Brown also does not state that the enumeration upon which that gerrymander legislative act wa$ based waa taken in midwinter, whin a i m pie te cen? sus of the inhabitants of rural neighb irhooda cannot be obtained owing to the Inclement weather. It ls notorious that the DemocraUo enumerators neglected to do thorough work In the Republican rural districts, and took little pains to discover the "...lien vote' In the Dem? ocratic cities. The population of the Dem", rat:.: vliles was thus exaggerated, while that of the Republican rural neighborhoods was underesti? mated. A basis was thus furnish. I f ir giving the Democratic cities a larger representation than that to which th-y are entitled, and ot diminishing the rightful representation of the rural Republican counties. The evidence of the gerrymander of th-- legisla? tive districts by, Mr. Hill il f ?und In the elec? tion returns of the State ever since i; was made. Nothing is clearer than that the Democratic ettie* were favored at th" expense of the K. pub? lican rural counties An examination of the election returns pf 1x93. for Instance, shows th it the total vote cast In the seven Senate Dis? tricts represented hy the seven Democratic Sen? ators from New-York City was as follows: District.

This ls a large representation of one class of voters, with common needs anl alms. But lt is said by Mr. Hill and his Democratic friends that New York is badly treated by the provision of the new Constitution that no one county shall have mon- than one-third of the Bena) ra. Mr. Hill and his friends also an- dis? satisfied with the provision that "no two coun? ties, or the territory therein, as now organized. whl h are adjoining counties, ci Which arc sep? arated only by public waters, shall have more ti.an one-half of ali th- Senators." This last provision applies, of course, to the counties of New-Ti rk and Kines, and is intended to gi...rd against their ever having a majority of the members of the State S-nate. The "Greater New York" plan, which will come before voters for th.-lr rejection or adoption the present fall. makes especially opportune this provision in the proposed Constitution. Would the voters of the Stat-- like to have their State Senate completely In the bands of that Greater Tammany Hall which would be formed immediately upon the consolidation of New-York and Brooklyn? Would the rural voters of the Stan- ever believe that th-ir interests were wisely conducted so far as the Legislature Jk concerned by th" "Tim" Sulli? vans Bent here to Albany by the Democratic voters of the etty of New-York? Pennsylvania limits the city of Philadelphia to th> possession ,,f one-sixth of its Senators. Eton B Br wn stat.s thal ".Maryland makes a more stringent provision against Baltimore; Georgia a very similar provision against Atlanta. Missouri .1 similar provision against St. Louis, Rhode Island a similar provision against Providence, Ohio a similar provision In relation to her great cities ' Mr. Brown also states that "there is no case where so slight I limitation has been proposed" as that which was adi pted by the Constitutional Convention. STOPS GERRYMANDERS One of the excellent provisions of ihe proposed legislative apportionment amendment ls that ope which put! up guards against gerrymanders. The apportionment is t ? bc made by Ihe Legis? lature according t,. a strict arithmetical rule. Moreover the courts are empowered to upset gerrymandering acts and have more leeway to do so than they now p.,ss.ss. The voters of tb.. State are not thoroughly ac? quainted with thc proposed apportionment. lt would be well If they should thus Inspect closely the scheme of apportionment suggested by the Republican majority of the Constitutional Con? vention- for thev could not fail to discover that ii is an eminently fair division of the legislative dlstricta The Senate districts are to be divided as follows: Seriate District. 1st Suffolk and Klchmond. lld gueen* and Richmond.
