GerryI1ander Knocked Out,

The state supreme court stands
as a bulwark between the people of
Wisconsin and the Infamous gerry
mander of the state by the legisla-
ture Of the Peck Wall-Vilas COM
blne, and holds in a decision yes
terday that the apportionment Of
1891 is unconstitutional and void.
This is glory enough, not only for
Republicans, but many fair-mind-
ed, honest Democrats beside. And
what makes the decision the more
CALLING and bitter to the Democratic
state administration, is in the fact
that the majority of the judges
constituting the court are Demo-
Gratis, and, therefore, it cannot be
charged with being a partisan opin-
ion. An extra session will next
be in order, to right the wrong done
the people by a Legislature whose
stock in trade was reform.
