battle over apportionment began
and ended in the Assembly yester.
day afternoon, resulting in the
complete slaughter of all the bills

Democrats yesterday refused TO
vote upon, then came up. The Re.

Democrats vote against their own
bill, and the latter made no attempt
to shirk the Issue; but every one
except Griffith stood up, and with
six Siickens men wiped the bill out

publican majority was badly de-
moralized, and soon after, when
the House adjourned, the bottom
