ONLY his own "pcrsonal desires and md
vidual ease and comfort" he would positively

he added with that utter abandonment oil sell
which has 50 characterized his entire public
career, " if you are right III snppoSng that the

country and my party, Il condition exists which
makes such private and personal considerations
entirely irrelevant" He could not refrain, he
said. from adding that he was " SO impressed
with the solcmnty of the trust and its awful
responsibilities" that he could not bring him
self "to regard candidacy for the place as
something to be won by personal strife and
active sclf-assertion." Here was m exhibition
of shrinking modesty and patriotic self-sacri-

THE BEAppORTJONMENT STEAL.

The bosses who have directed the policy Of
the Democratic majority in the Legislature at
Albany during the present session are thieves
Being thieves. and having begun the session
by stealing three seats in the Senate, what
more natural than that they should see fit to
mark the close of the session by more stealing
OF the same sort? Yesterday the docilc Dem
ocrats of the Assembly, obedient to the orders
of these scoundrels, passed the Reapportion-
ment bill which had already passed the Senate.
To characterize this piece OF legislation as a
steal is to do it full juStice-a fact which THE
TRIBUNE demonstrated yesterday TO the salts
faction of candid persons. Nevertheless this
steal, which is so atrocicus as to involve the
disfranchsement Of thousands Of our citizens,
was supported on its final passage by sixty-hvc
Democratic Asscmblymen.
The country members who helped to pass
the gerrymander made an amazing exhibition
not only of their unscrupulOusness, but Of their
shortsight6dness. How Croker, Murphy, Nc
Laughlin. Hill and the rest Of the gang Of
bosses must have chucliled as they observed
the "hayseed" Democrats selling ont their
home districts for the benefit of the cities Is
il possible that these Democrats are so weak
minded as not to be able to appreciate the sig
niGcance of what they did yesterday? DO
they fully realize that they championed a
