ingly.
The House apporlionment bill was

the amendment proposed by the MINOR
ty Of the committee. Senator's ought 70
bear in mind, Mr. Hale said, before

that the bill as it came from the House
was perhaps the one distinctive, impor-
tant measure which had the practical
support OF both parties in that BODY.

Injustice would b. done to the State of

work fairly and sell; but nevertheless
ne wa. convinced bat the enumeration
of New Gock city was detective 10 the
extent 6 two hundred thousand, and ne
thought that 10 sufficient reason had
been given why therequest by the State
and municipal authorities, for recount
had not been compiled with.
