In the sama letter. speaking of the bills
to apportion and distric. the Sraso for Lee
gislatiye and Congressional purposes,
Awful Marcus Orlando, "a graduate of
Ann Arbor College and also q graduate
tho Michigan Bar" most forcibly ar
grammaticaliy remarks: sA
1.-THE Republicans have brought before
both Branches ofthe Legislature. two bills:
one for the apportionmcnt of the State for
ard Representative purposes,
and the other for the formation OF new
Congressional Districts. 1t (which?) is
attempt to disfranchise the De
of Indians 1t would be impossi. |
Die to conceive of measures more positive
y devoid offairness and justice. Should
i (which?) become a, law, more than fifty |
thousand Democrats would be absolutely |
DISTINGUISHED for all State legislative pur-
poses; as a single specimen Of the Bill. |

with a much larger votel". Why dill
Tou not add ''and a mach larger porula-
ion, Mr. Awful Marcus Orlando? Dear.
born is not the only Democrats count, in /
he State which gave "a much larger VOTE
t the last election than its population
eemed to Justify. While the census
hows Jefferson had ST more inhabitants
han Dearborn. tho election returns show
hat 200 more votes were cast in Dearborn
han in Jefferson at the State election.
We have not seen the Apportionmcnt bill
IS introduced. but we venture to assert
hal. the above statement In regard to it by
Awful Marcus Orlando, is at least a mis-
eprescntation--not the whole tfuth--ifl
,othing more. We do not believe that
he Republicans are such fools as TO com
nit political suicide by attempting TO pass
uch an unfair bill as Awful saws it was.
Every body knows how prone Awful is to
tretch the blanket.
