the iron-working establishments of this

the scale is not signed, but it is likely
that wise counsel will prevail and COM

NEWARK, N. j., June 5.-The Republican
county committee of Essex county has be
gun determined attack on the system Of
redistricting. Not only is their attack di
rected against the recent redivision of theii
own county into assembly districts. but
also against the practice generally. which
they declare to be unconstitutional.
1t is doubtful, they claim, whether the
legislature ever had power to provide fol
the election of assemblymen by districts
Up to 1859 each county was allowed GER
tain number of assemblymen, and they
were elected Fat large" or on a general
county ticket The constitution of the
state sets forth that an assemblyman must
be citizen and inhabitsnt of the county
for which he shall be chosen. Another sec
tion lays it down that the general assem-
bly, shall be elected annually by the legal
votes of the counties respectively.
III 1853 a law was passed by the legisla-
ture itself, authorizing the division OF
each county into as many assembly dis
tricts as the number of assemblymen to
which it was entitled, and similar laws
were passed in 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891.
Nobody and no party has ever tested the
validity of these acts, and it is not the in
tention of the Essex county Republicans
to question now the validity of the acts Of
any legislature Of the last forty years, but
to cause return to the old system of a
general election for assemblymen.
& The strongest argument that will be ad-
vanced by the Essex Republicans is that
eight Democratic assemblymen were
elected in their county in 1892 with an ag-
gregate majority of 3,771 while the three
Republican assemblymen had an aggre-
gate majority of 5.697. Thus it appears
that the total Republican majority in the
county was 1926 The method to be en-
ployed is to ask the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to compel the county
clerk and the city clerk of Newark to hold
the future elections by general ticket. The
writ of mandamus will be applied for in
the supreme court tomorrow.
