THE reason that no agreement can
be made by the legislature upon the
passage of an apportionment bill, is
because the Republicans prefer the
present shameless gerrymander of the
state passed ten years ago, to any bill
that could with any decency be passed
now, with the most generous concession
possible on the part Of the Democrats.
1t was to retain the old gerrymander
that the odious and Infamous Nc
