he chuckled to himself: "A rich man

THE Democratic party of Pennsylva-
mia won its victory last week, elected a
governor, gained senators and carried
the lower House on a platform which
pledges it to" an honest, just and true
apportionment." It owes it to the COM
monwealth and itself to make this. In
casting the eye over Republican gerry
manders it is difficult to see worse one
than exists in the present division of
Lancaster into wards. At present the
wards are all too large for single voting
precincts, and for this purpose, at least,
there should be division. But the inc.
quality Of councilmanic representation
is too fragrant to remain as it is. The
First ward has four common council
men, and the Eighth, with SO per cent.
more population and voters, has only
