REpIsTRICTING THE CITY FOR POLITICAL
ADVANTAGE.
THE ADDITIONAL DISTRICTS no GO ABOVE FIFTY
NINTH ST.-PoLICE COMMISSIONER MARTIN
TO BE FIRMLY INrRENCHED.

no BE FIRMLY INTRENCHED.
Tammany's preparations for prontinS by the fraudu-
lent State enumeration and unconstitutional appo''oh
nent of David b. HIPS Legislature have been going
m slowly during the week. The ordinance when Is
being framed In Tammany Hall 10 estabhsh 1"e
boundaries OF the thirty Assembly Districts inlo "'0
New-York is 10 be divided must be ready for the BOAR"
n, Aldermen at noon on Tuesday. The capportoh'
ment arranged by the first committee OF ten ds'fl"
leaders designated BY Mr.. Croker raised s'oh HOWL
Of ton all the city that he was oohseu
TO sInas h the entire slHe and appoint Messs "''o'
Martin and Purroy as a special committee 10 oesi'
afresh So secretly have they been working tla' "
Is not known how much Of the labor OF the oia con.
mittee has been put back again into the sheou'e
Much bad blood has been Stirred up over the Nuis
trictlng and reports were plentlfnl yes'eTud, "'
good many Of the Tammany Hail Aldermen were r'su'
to kick" against passing the ordinance inis "p"'
was sncered at about the Wigwam and IN CiS nun
circles, but II nine Of the twenty iam"'"''
members on this side of the Atlantic join with uie o'
Repubucans Of the Board the ordinance can ee re-
ferred TO a committee and held in allegiance, ior
,,mo AZ least With President Arnold in Europe
thirteen Aldermen will form majority on the boa'u.
MIR. Croker however counts on no such eVidehces VI
disloyalty and will probably visit with severe pains
and penalties any Tammany Alderman WHO "o''" "
reckless enough to oppose his Wishes
When Commissioners Gilroy Martin ana furlo'
mako their report to the Tammany Han hAe'u.i'V
Committee on Tuesday morning IL VIII nave w.

IN o,av the order 10 rush the work OF Mr. CiOKefs
arr,,es tbrouch the Board will take his political HE
in his own hands. ,. ..s
There will be virtually seven new dleu1c's ore"'o,
diving opportunities for seven new ~oosseS " eo'
into the saddle. The downtown districts are W w
reduced at least one and perhaps Two IN h'uioeI,
generally
% above FYfty-nnth-st, and will be paruuoned TWO
N the West SIDE four to the East sde ana one ABOVE
The Harlem, thus making the Iwehty-ImrN ".i"
Twenty fourth Wards each an Assembly Dis"io' y,
itself The XIXh District VIII probably De diViuco
into three districts the lateral boundaries running
through Sixty third and One-hundredan d-ehIi e's
CANA authorities however, assert that q handsome
slice ~ the upper part Of the XVllth District VIII
he oIned TO the lower district formed out OF the MINI
A similar partition Is expected IN the AAiio al"
yyITIa districts The XXIIId includes the eastern
half of Harlem and contains the largest popua'on III
the CITY, 1t may be split into two, or perhaps thiec
districts slice from the upper end might be uh'e'
with the XXIId which thus enlarged could be cuI
,nto two districts The Republican XX1st Will be
divided I'D SO that its vorn Will be overwhelmed Dy
the Democratic hordes on it's borders. AS this u
Police Commissioner Martins district 1t may safely
be predicted that 1t Will 10 so partluoned tilal INC
division which hc shall claim his individual realm
majority.
II a fair ard equal division of the
population into thirty districts was III
tended the population that each would have
would he about AZ, 900. AS the registered voe this
xssr cannot fall much short OF 300 0OO each Assembly
district should have nearly 10000 voters. But 1t
is plaln that there is intention OF adhering to
any uniform system In fixing The population and the
voting strength of these districts Some will iai 10
5000 or perhaps less, While Others VIII 60 up
10 nearly double the proper average. Everything
will be subOrdnaied to partisan advantage lie
men ENGAGED upon the problem Mr.. Croker has given
thssn ne 10 carve out as many districts that Will send
rammany Assemblymen can be manufactured and
they win see to that but few Of Them can, e1cept
IN a popular revision, choose Republicans ltS
only parallel will be found in the gerTymaAderlnS
az the fraudulent and corrupt Legislature which
framed the law under which the Tammany Aldermen
will put the finishing touches upon the vIanous
Job on Tuesday,
Among the divisions in the lower half OF Inc ely
which ara said TO be settled those Of the present
Win and IXth districts. AS thus projected the
lines Of the With both districts VII probably have

reports were current Yesterday that an injunction
will be served upon the Aldermen on Iuesday re
stTaining them from eOnsummang the INFAMOUS WoiR
~b;ch t6eir Tammanv masters have laid for them.
The Injunction. il said, would Dc based upon
recital OF the unprecedented frauds committed in the
cans sold that they had no knowledge that any such
proceedings would be undertaken in this city.
