IT COST THE PEOPLE THOUSANDS OP DOLLARS FOR DEMOCRAT GERRYMANDERS. It t publican Fairness Alone Saved the Stat From Greater Expense The ired of th Democratic Squawbueks KecrlvMa Well-Merited llebuke.. Tho recent session of the legislature wus in every sense an unwarrantable und unjustifiable imposition on tho people. It resulted in an unnecessary expenditure of funds that ought to bo still lying in the treusury of the state. It cost the state $5,377.68 for pay and mileage of members, while tho cost of printing laws, journals, bills and maps of new districts will swell the grand total to $8,000. This is the latest item of the waste imposed upon the state by a Democratic administration. The call of the session was made to pass laws that should have been passed utthe regular session, and which would have been passed then had the "squaw buck" legislature had in view the in terests of the people instead of the in terests of the Democratic party. "Dressed in a little brief authority" the Democratic legislature attempted to steal the state, United States Sena tor and all. The gross injustice and flagrant unconstitutionality of the ap portionment acts of 181)1 were too much for the Supreme Court to sanction. As well might the honorable tribunal have been asked to protect tho thief caught carrying off his ill-gotten booty, as to justify the apportionment acts of 1891. Those ucts were swept aside as too outrageous to be allowed longer to disgrace the statute books of Michigan. Justice Morse, whose loyalty to Democracy is unchallenged, 6aid of the House apportionment: "The appor tionment act of 1891 is void, because it undertook to dismember Houghton county and because the constitution was also violated in giving Demo cratic counties two representatives, having a less population than Re publican counties which were ac corded but one." The words in brackets have been inserted to show the facts and to indicate how the con stitution was violated in the interests of Democracy. The unlawful dis memberment of Houghton county was made for the same purpose. Justice McGrath, the other Democratic mem ber of the Supreme Court, does not hesitate to stigmatize the "squawbuck " grasp at unlawful dominion in Michi gan as usurpation. Speaking of the senatorial re-arrangement of 1891, he says: "The purpose' of the con stitutional enactment is to secure as nearly as possible equality of repre sentation. Any apportionment that defeats that purpose is vicious, con trary not only to the letter but to the spirit of our institutions and subver sive of popular government. Power SKCU1UED OU PERPETUATED BY UNCON STITUTIONAL METHODS IS 1'OWEK usurped and usurpation of power is a menace to free institutions." For theseareasons the apportionment acts of 1891 were wiped out. What was the result? The state government was left sadly crippled in one of its de partments all on account of Demo cratic misrule. An extra session was made necessary to repair the mischief done by a Democratic legislature, at the behest of the Democratic bosses, who desired to elect one of their num ber to the United States Senate. The session was called by the Gov ernor and then, as the Lansing Repub lican graphically describes it: Every employe who was foxy enough to get there, cuspidor artists, clerks, Janitors, doorkeepers, pages and a raft of others, all come in on the kt per diem rule and mile age grab. The services rendered to the state have been In the line of loafing and lounging about and keeping on the shady Ide of the capitol building. The clamor for pay orders on Saturday afternoon was deafening. And so the expense was piled up. Tne state has paid dearly for its ex perience with Democracy. That the session was not any longei and more expensive to the taxpayers of tue builo isuub entirely to me wise anu patriotic stand of the Republican mi nority. Before the convening of the two nouses, the Republican State Cen tral Committee, not in any way dictat ing action, but acting as an advisory council, suggested to the Republican members an offer of co-operation with the Democrats in the formulation of fair bills, which both parties could sup port. In accordance with this Sucre tion the following offer mas made by tne Kepu oilcan senatorial caucus: "To the Chairman of the Democrat sena torial caucus: Sir Assuming that Tour- self and tbosa associated with you are equally solicitous with us for the early en actment of reapportionment bills in con formity with the opinion and instructlonf of the bupreme Court, to the end that meas ures which shall be recognized as fair and Just. , by all the citizens of Michigan, mar be formulated and that the taxpayers be aparea tne ouraen or expense attendant upon a prolonged session of the legislature, we are authorised by the Republican mem bers of the senate to submit the following proposition, vlit That a committee fairly constituted to represent the Republican, Democrat and People' parties shall be named by their respective caucuses who hall be charged with the duty of formu lating bills to be presented for approval of the said caucuses, and upon an agreement being reached, to be presented for action in the legislature. (Signed) "A M lines, W. II. WIthlngton, Jos. M. Weiss, R L Taylor, A O Wheeler." The Democrats in the Senate, af tet vainly trying for a half a day to rally their forces for the passage of partisan measures and finding that they could not use the party whip with success ou members enough to pass a bill, finally made a virtue of necessity and agreed to compromise measures. The credit of shortening the session and of secur ing measurably fair apportionments be longs to the Republican minority in the Legislature. The invest! cation of the Alabama election now being made by tho Alliance peoplo is opening their eyes. They say they elected their candidate, but were cheated out of the election by tho rascality of the Democrats. Let the good work go on. Perhaps an elec tion bill won't have such a terrible look to southern people after a few more experiences of Alabama methods. State Republican.

A Fair lie-Apportionment Secured by the Itepublloans In Spite of the Democrat lo JiuHSM-Mlchlg;an Saved from Another Disgraceful Gerrymandar. That the State of Michigan has been saved from the disgrace of another par tisan, gerrymander is to be credited to the Republican party. It became evident before the legisl a ture convened that the Democrats were preparing to go to any lengths to pass a partisan measure,! in open defiance of the principles of fair apportionment laid down by the Supreme Court. The state organ pf the Democratic party the Detroit Kree l'ress published labored editorials to prepare Its party for an endorsement of another attempt to steal the legislature. For several days prior to the meeting of the legiS' lature that organ teemed with denun ciations of the Supreme Court opinions In the gerrymander cases as an unwar rantable interference with "legislative discretion. It maintained that legis lative districts could not be formed without doing violence to justice, and it framed an elaborate scheme for the evasion of the Supreme Court opinions and the perpetration of another gerry mander. It openly defended the vi clous practice, which is so dangerous to the very existence of our free institu tions. The Democratic State Cjntral Com mittee had prepared two bills for enactment, fully us outrageous in their character as the acts of 1891, which the Supreme Court declared unlawful. That committee made no secret of its intention to force those bills through the legislature. Secretary llosford openly declared at Lansing: "We are not here for pleasure, but to pass bills in our own interests, and by we're going to pass them." He declared also that they would rush them through be fore Saturday night and go home. It was also known to be a part of the scheme to prepare for election and act under such laws, although not ordered to take immediate effect. The Demo crats, in other words, stood ready to rush through a partisan gerry mander and then perfect their plans to steal the state, under laws not yet in force, as they had not votes enough In either house to give the bills immediate effect. Republicans also had reason to be lieve, even before the' legislature con vened, that Governor Winans had pre pared a grossly partisan message, which was intended as an encouragement to Democratic schemes to saddle "squaw buck" dominion upon the people of Michigan, and the message justified their fears. His message was a defense of the gerrymander and a sneer at the Supreme Court. Like the Free Press, he virtually told the Supreme Court that it had meddled with something that was none of its business. Witness this offensive sentence: "That you are again compelled to legislate upon this important matter seems due to your having followed the precedents set by former legislatures, and to your having accepted the theory that the legislature is an independent co ordinate branch of the state, gov ernment, whose province Is to de termine the political divisions of the commonwealth. Iiverything betok ened an attempt to override constitu tion, law and justice in the interest of another Democratic partisan apportion ment. Well knowing that bills could not be lawfully passed as soon as the Demo crats boldly asserted they would pass them, unless Kepublicans consented to suspend the rules or the Democrats grossly violated them as they did in 1891, the Republican members of the Senate put themselves on guard to de fend the state against any more Demo cratic outrages. Warned toy their ex periences of 1891, they stood on the watch for treachery. What was the flrst Democratic move? It was an attempt to do away with the rules of the Senate that stood in the way of Doss Ilosford's plans. The scheme was sprung upon the Republi cans without a word of warning. Not having a two-thirds majority to sus pend the rules, the Democrats assumed that the Senate had no rules and then proposed to adopt those of 1891, except one that interfered with their plans. This flagrant and shameless proposi tion unmasked the Democracy. The partisan rulings of Lieut. -Gov. Strong, made to carry out the scheme, were but a confirmation of the Republican sus picions. The battle against Democratic usurpation was waged until almost midnight, when the Democratic major ity, aided by partisan and unjust rul ings from Lieut. -Gov. Strong, prevailed against law and precedent. A rule which could be abolished or suspended only by a two-thirds vote was set aside by a bare majority. ,The Democrats accused the Republi cans of filibustering and wasting time, but it was well for the State of Michi gan that the Republicans took a manly stand against so gross a violation of law and practice. Never before in the history of the state was a legislative day more profitably spent for the peo ple. Republican opposition was the rock upon which the Democratic gerry mander was wrecked. The struggle over tho rules revealed the fact that, while the Democrats had a majority of the Senators voting, they had not the constitutional majority requisite to Sass a bill. They then gave up the ght for a gerrymander nnd listened to Republican propositions for a fair ap portionment. Thus it is that the state was saved by Republican firmness from another gerrymander. The people will appreciate this fact and give a signifi cant token of their appreciation next wovem oer.

Perhaps his renunciation of the Democracy was akin to Don M. l)ibin. son's similar renunciation a few years 6ince it didn't count. The organization of Dickinson county was designed to pave the way of Don M. Dickinson to tho United States Senate. The pavement was all torn up by the failure of Democratic schemes at Lansing, and the Demo cratic bosses are in a quandary as to the best kind of paving material to try next. Sad?
