The RetuistrIctlng Bi,I.

The Knoxville Chronicle, which is
the leading Republican paper iu the
State, or in the South, as to that
matter, is very well satisfied with the
bill passed by the Legislature to
redistrict the State, and expresses
itself as follows:
We have examined the redistricting
bill just passed by the Legislature and
which is now law, with good deal
OF care. We think we could improve
it in some respects and have already
noted some things which are regarded
as unfair, especially in tho case Of
Bradley county. Nor do we know of
any reason why Senatorial districts in
the eastern division Of the State should
be so laid OIL as to contain larger
number of voters than in other Sec
tions Of the State. We recognize the
fact, however, that it is impossible to
make Senatorial and Assembly dis
tricts absolutely equal. After care
tul examination Of the bill, we are CON
strained to say, that, whether consid-
cred geographically or politically, it
strikes us very fair apportiOnmeut.
Some of our Democratic friends
complain at the apportionment in East
Tennessee, and say that under it they
will not have the number Of Senators
and Representatives to which they are
entitled. If they will take the trou-
bic, however, to turn to the returns Of
the last election, they will find that it
would be very difficult to carve Dem
ocratic districts out Of the counties in
this section of the State. East Ten
nessee is Republican, as they ought to
know, and it would be impossible to
make it otherwise. But the Republican
majority is so small in some of the coun
ties and districts, that if the Demo
Gratis nominate better candidates than
the Republicans, they may win. We
mention this for the benefit Of our
Republican friends. 1t is fact they
should bear in mind when they come
to the selection of candidates for the
Legislature next summer. The new
appertionment is not so one-sided
either way but that great deal may
be gained by the other from the su-
perioriiy Of their candidates AS
before said, we think VIC could have
made some slight improvements in tho
apportionment. but upon the whole it
is fair one.
The Tribune,on the other hand, com
plains very justly as we think that an
unfair discrimination was made against
the Democratic counties of East Ten
nessee. This We do know, the Repub
licaus generally seem to be highly
pleased with the arrangement and say
that itsuits them oxactIy-Mr. Coul-
