EARLY Reapportionment Probable.
There is no doubt of an apportion-
ment bill passing the house at an early
day. The Tammany influences in New
York are doing what they can to impede
action by insisting that there shall be a
recount in New York before an appor-
tionment The discussion of the subject
among the Democrats, however, shows
that number Of the influential ones
among them favor early action on APP
portionment in order to correct inequali-
ties which are clearly shown by the
census.
Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia, says that there
is no reason to expect a fight over a re-
apportionment, since there will be moth
ing in it, If it is fairly done, that any
reasonable man could object to. 1t is
also significant that Mr.. Crisp admits
that the senate may pass the election
law.
