The Ann0rfinnment Rill.


committee, by the chairman, Mr., Davis.
The bill, we judge. is as near fair one. IS
il is possible TO be. Itisa difieuh matter
TO frame bill Of this kind that win please
all. tall events, il is a great improve
ment upon the present radical apportion.
ment, and secures separate representation
50 far As possible, and there are no double
senatorial districts, with sole Y lew 10 dis
/ franchise thousands Of voters for pArtiEAn
purposes.
Centre county will be found in the 3end
senatorial district, composed Of Snyder,
JuniAta, Aifain. Centre and Perry, with
one senator We would much have pre-
fSrred TO be in other company than those
JuniatA river counties. There 10 too much
grasping sslfshnsss there. its politicians 70
too much upon the rule or ruin principle,
without any Just claim to one third of what
they generally get Our new district, Of
course, is democratic, but the democracy
of Centre do not feel il home in company
with these Juniata politicians, and besides
our interests are not identical
Centre and Clearfld compose . leEisla-
tive district with two members for thelow-
er house, the same as some twenty years
ago. Centre having n greater population
than is required for one member and net
enough for two. and CleAr6sld not having
the requisite population TO entitle it 10
separate representation. is the reason for
composing the district thus. with two mem
bers.
This bill may undergo some changes be-
fore its passage in the senate. and as the
house is radical. it will report o different
| bill, SO that il need not b0 looked for that
either the sana,e or house bill will become
law, and the disagrSement between the
the two houses must be healed by = con.
ference committee, if any appOrtionment
bill is passed. The following ia the senate
