were mnde by Gen. Noyes, Gen. Keller and
Gov. Foster. In the afternoon the soldiers

formal reception took place. After music

The Connecticut Legislature.

To the Editor of The REPCBLICAN:
The Post Oft this city, the other morning,
published blood and thunder article about the
gerrymander of the Republicans of Connecticut in
reapportOnng the senatorial districts of that
State, deriving its powder from the Hartford Times
The Times knows better but probably the Post does
not and, as / am Connecticut man and like that
everybody should at least have the opportunity of
finding out what the truth is, l viii ask fora small
portion of your space to set the Post right. Con-
necticut is of those old States where the cow
paths in the forest, i'll early times, determined the
roads. The district, town, and county boundaries
are extremely irregular, as is natural in an old
State. The constitution granted to each old town
two representatives, and to the new towns one. In
consequence, some little towns of few hundred
inhabitants came to have two representatives
while large city like Bridgeport had only one
The only change in this respect has been to allow
towns having five thousand inhabitants
or over two representatives The sena-
torial districts can be arranged more ac-
cOrding to popula ton 1t thus results that the
senate is the really popular house. The cOnstitu-
ton of the house can only be changed through its
own action i'll proposing an amendment to the
constitution. and, the power is at present in the
hands of the country towns, ii viii probably re-
main there. Now, in process of time, the sena-
toTial districts came to be unequally divided as
the towns, and the last Legislature has, through
committee made reapportiOnment. But i'll doing
this it has been hGmpered by constitutional re-
strictions and by the irregular town and country
boundaries. The constitutional requirements are,
not to divide towns, not to cross county lines and
not to give less than two senators to any one
county. The committee has performed its work
well, carefully, and justly, according to the teSti
mOny of both Republicans and Democrats and
Democratic than by Republican votes. Very re-
Spectfully, J*&
