A New Point Raised by Republicans -
Come Before Justice Cullen To-day.
The question OF having a new Assembly re-
apportionment in Kings county is to come be-
fore Justice Cullen in the Supreme Court In
Brooklyn to-day. and the Republican mama
gers have some hopes that tho recent gerry
mander may be set aside. Corporation Coun-
sci jerks told Justice Cullen yesterday that he
supposed that his refusal to grant II writ set
ting aside tho last reapportonment scheme OF
the Supervisors settled tho matter for good.
Justice Cullen. however. explained that the
new question had been Used as to whether
the division Of the county should be made on q
busis OF citizen or total population and that he
had decided that it should be made on the
former
1t is ON this point that the controversy will
turn to-day. The Republicans contend that
the citizen basis has not been observed. In
some wards the alien population being 20 per
cent. and in others us low as 10 per cent.
There is some apprehension among the Dem.
ocrntic leaders that q new reapportionmeut
may have to be made after all.
