THE NEW ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS.


TIoNMENT.
number of Tammany leaders had private con-
sultatiOn yesterday about reapportlonment'
The plan LAID before the Aldermen's committee on
Saturday by the Republicans was one of the chief
topics Of discussion. This plan makes five OF the
twenty-four districts which the city Is entitled to
Republican. The subject was informally discussed
by the Aldermen's committee and laid over. The
commsttee will meet again to day and probably
adopt some plan. The Tammany Hall leaders DIFF
fered somewhat in opinion rs TO the number OF
districts the Republicans should be allowed
majority in; some claiming that three
districts were all that should be given them, while
others believed it only right that five districts
should be apportioned to the Republicans. The
Aldermens committee is expected to give the he
publIcans five districts. M
The Anti Tammany party met in Irving Hall
Saturday and adopted an apportlonment plan whlch

Board of Aldermen Tuesday, ana VIII probably
receive nearly all of the seven Anti Iammany Notes'
but no one expects It to be adopted.

George Bliss explained to the Adcrmens commit
tee that the Republicans believed their plan would
give them the districts just described, which were
made to conform closely as possible to the Ola
boundaries. Republicans for several years had cast
enough votes to enttle them to onc-thud Of the
representatives from this city, and # they did not
get five districts they would consider themselves
badly treated.
Alderman Roberts said if the Assemhlymcn de-
pended the whole vote of the city tine kepubcans
would have no representation. Inc Democrats,
however he believed would support Just app0l-
tiOnment and iii -tTlcts that were clearly hcpuDH-
can should be given to that party.
