certainly, they never did anything
quite as bad as the Republican ma
jority abused their power to do last
Tuesday evening. Somebody seems
to have exerted q sort of malicious in
genuity in so dividing up the Demo
cratic Assembly districts as to deprive
the party of all the advantages that
might accrue from leadership and or
g~anization. The work has been
so done that there "a be no
doubt whatever about the deliberate
malice which devised the plan.
Now this may be very shrewd poll
tics; but the Aldermen should remem-
Der that they were not exactly elected
as a partisan Republican board. The
Republicans can only get a majority
through the vote of Mr.. Reuben
Simpson, who, though a republican
in political faith. was not elected as
one, but as a non-partisan representa-
tive of reform ideas, getting, we be-
lieve, as many Democratic as Repub-
lican votes. We believe many who
supported him will be disappointed
to see him aid in ultra-partisan Gam
paign legislation.
Fortunately, the action is taken so
early that the mischief may be in part
rectifed. At least, the Democratic
precinct clubs may be reconstructed
and set in working order before the
campaign opens actively.
