Mr.. Halliday gained decided victory over the
obstructionists who have been trying to defeat
an apportionment. Under the order Of intro
duction OF bills he introduced one appor-
tioning tho members OF Assembly in ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the Con-
stituton under the last consus. He accom-
panied ii with statement showing up the
the course pursued by the Republicans on this
question in the two last Legislatures. and said
that among n large portion OF the people the be-
lief prevailed that 1t was again contemplated to
repeat these tactics In support OF this he
called attention to tho fact that the twenty days
within which Mr.. Alvord's committee had been
requested by the House to report bill expired
yesterday; yet. instead Of reporting a bill. the
committee had never even been called together
to consider ono. The Democrats had. how
ever. paid somo respect TO the request
Of the House. and prepared a bill which
they believed to be Just and fair. and which he
thought should meet with the approval Of every
man who was disposed to do his duty in this
matter. regardless OF results to party Heasked

the Governor. TINT it might be passed over his
veto should the Legislature 50 determine. or
that another one might be passed on which the
Governor and the Legislature could agree;
Old salt was astonished ut this very novel pro-
ceeding. It would be- unfair to the majority Of

Then '" complained that the original resolu-

thirty days within which to report but that in
the confusion OF business. without being de-

He asked the House TO wait until he reported
