THE REAPPORTI0NMENT OF FEW YORK,
 AND PHoBIBIE EEsULT

AND PR0BkBLE RESULT,
 On Tuesday, July 18th, the State of New York was redistricted under the new apportionment law, passed by a Democratic legislature, It is claimed by the Democrats, and no one will se- riously dispute it, that henceforth the State will be surely Democratic. That party expects to control tho legisla- turc, to elect several additional mcm- bers of Congress, and what is most important, will likely name a United States Senator to succccd Frand His cock, whose term expires in 1893. In addition to these advantages gained, Tammany has strengthened it's grip on the municipality of New York City,
 Tho heavy increase in population has been in the southern portion of 'he State, principally in New Work City and Brooklyn, and their suburbs, Here the fine work of Tammany is discernablo in tho reapportionment. They have accomplished a very sue cessful work of geyTymander The N. Y. Sun remarks with undisguised sat isfaction that the changes made in the boundaries of the districts fare radi- cal" and "twenty-four districts are laid out SO that there is little possibih- ty of disturbing the large Democratic majority which was shown to be resi- dent in every one of them at the last election" Three other districts have only "small apparent Democratic ma iorities." Thus it will be seen that Tammany counts on carrying 27 ofthe 30 assembly districts of New York City The redistricting of the city was done by the "Tammany Committee of Twenty-four, ,n and was ratified with out change. by the Democratic Alder mon, The number of districts was in- creased from 24 to SO In redistrictng Kings County, the Democrats were equally successful. The number of districts was increased from l2 to IS, and of the total number of districts the Democrats claim 10.
 The first impression gained by the casual reader is probably, that the re districting of the State will help the National Democratic ticket, but a more intimate understanding of the situa- ton discourages such a belief While tho Democrats have improved their chances of carrying the legislature, yet they can accomplish this only by the hardest kind of work, and every vote will count It must be remembered that while they will make large gains in the southern portion of the State under the new appor~TJ',munt, tho Re publicans will be benefited, although not to an equal degree in the north. The fight will be stubborn one, and naturally there will be trading of votes, as there was in 1888. and this will work to the injury of Cleveland and Ste venson. Tammany has thoroughly re- organized it's forces, and has appointed a leader in each of the 90 districts in New York eity Their object above every other consideration, Is to elect their candidate for the legislative as- ssmbly in every one of the 27 districts, as well as to exert their influence in Kings county.
 The natural inference, from which it is impossible to escape, is that Cleve- land win be freely traded for votes for assemblymen, and without the full support of the party in New York city the National Democratic party can not Rope for success
 Ex-Governor Bilps attitude is sig nihcant, especially as he tho idolaud head Of Tammanv. WHs absence rom the great notification rally in New York city was noticeable, and his reply to ey-Secretary Whitncv's invt tation IS not reasguring. He regret ted he had made other arrangements for the evening and could not attend P
