one TO SHOW me one IS bad ga this one. Ia
the last enumeration OF Indiana there is
about 5000 for each Representative and
10000 for Senator, The idea Of picture OF
an apportionment does not convey all the
truth. a fair apportienment might look
hideous by the side OF q gerrymander and
yet be far more fair. The Democrats are
not satisfied with 81 per cent. of power bat
they insist upon 81 per cent. or more. Is

which would do such q act as this would be
at once overthrown. Why here in Brown

their grinding down the poor, setting labor

me to support this am content to know,

His demand was seconded - the House.
Mr.. PArfEN, the author 81 the bill, said

County Commissioners did not write an
order OF secession, but that county was
loyal and sent its share Of soldiers to the
marshall (Mr. kellison) the Democratic milk
had cuIdled for him. This is the fsirest
legislative apporti0nment oil that has ever
been attempted in Indiana. No gerryman-
