our opponents keep e0ntrol ef TIE legisia-

they Go IL. The constitution Of our state
requires that every 10 years there shall
be an enumeration Of fAe inhabitants
OF the state. and thar the enumeration
shall he followed by & reapRortianHlent
OF the scnte and assembly districts,

provisions 81 the constitution. have re-
fused TO order an enumeration. and refused
10 re2pporfion the senate and assembly
districts cf the state. For that reason the
great Empire state Of the Union Is mis-
reIsrea nted by two Republican senators ia
the United States senate. They do not
represent ihe honest sentiments OF s ma

DEMOCRATS FORCED TIE FteHnSG.
~ do not propose this evening 10 discuss
the merits OF the bill which they propose
as substitute for il in the senate, I simply
say they have presented this issue too late.
Whatever merit there may be in their bllls
the people and the tax payers of this cOun-
try are indebted 10 the Democratic party
because they have forced the light
ing upon ihIssquestion. But for the posi-
tion ASHAMED by the president and
assumed by the party there would
have been nothing accomplished upon this
matter. What is the position of the DEM
ocratie party upon the ;afid question: We
are opposed TO excessive taxation; OPP
posed 10 an unnecessarily high tariff. We
believe the time is to come when. with
cut injury 10 any interest in the eoua-
Try, taxes can be reduced. That
is the Democratic position. 1t is position
that Is Hnassailablc in this campaign, and
all the elsinor OF Republican politicians,
simply To- sut~eTye party purposes. cannot
change the honest, fair, manly position OF
the Democratic party. Prolonged ap-
