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?
NEW-YORK FAIRLY TKKATED.
Senafor "Hill also misrepresents the legislative
apportionment amendment when bl declares
that it tresta the great Democratic cities of
New-York and Brooklyn unjustly. The Amend?
ment increases the numbai f represents ti ves
of New-ltjrk City in the Senate from s.-v.-n t .
twelve. There are to he fifty Senators, so New
Tork thus ls given nearly one-fourth of the
number of Senators. Then the number of New
York's Assemblymen is Int faa Md from M to 35
There are to be 150 Assemblymen. Thus New
York will have nearly one-fourth of the numb, r
of the Assemblymen. Kings County ls also
treated generously, the number of her Senators
being increased from five tc seven, and of her
Assemblymen from eighteen to twenty-one

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. Senator. Tota. Vote

This vote should be compared with that ot the

sented hy as many Republican Senators, who j
represent rural constituencies. Below ls that ,

f,re hay.- seventeen Senators, or over one-third
ol tin- fifty Senators, ami with fifty-six Assem?
blymen out of 150 In all. they have over one
third of the representation In the Assembly.
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

"Thc t'tica. Herald" thua praises a well-known

Archil K. Baster for member they offer tor th*
