The AppOrtiOnment Bill.

The apportionment bill having passed
the House. there can be little doubt that it
will pass the Senate without material
amendment, Being bill that relates
particularly to the makeup of the House.
the Senate may be presumed to be dis
posed to allow the other branch to have
its own way in regard to the matter. The
bill fixes the number of representatives liz
the House at S25. The Seaton plan of
apportionment. which operated in favor OF
the larger States. was almest unanimously
rejected. and the old plan was adopted AS
the basis of apportionment. The Seaton
plan was more complex End its operation
90 Objectionable to the majority tina, it had
but few supporters at the last. So far as
Maine was concerned in the conflict over
the different plans presented we had no
immediate interest. Is the number of rep
resentatives we shall be entitled to would
be the same under any apportionment
scheme that might be adopted; but of
course we had an interest in the adoption
Of correct principle. that will not initiate
against our State at some future apportion-
ment. We must be content to drop from
five to four representatives, while the
growing West increases in the scale OF
representation.
