IU the House—The Iji\t

The map given above will show at a glance (he arrangement of Indiana counties for senatorial and representa tivo apportionment. The bill was the work of a special committee appointed 'by a joint caucus of the Republican members of the geueral assembly. This oommittco was composed of Senators Hawkins. Hogate and Houghton and Representatives Babcock, Smith and Littleton, to whom had been referred all the bills introduced on the subject. It was at a caucus held on the night ol Feb. 2 that these gentlemen reported the result of their labors, which was adopted after a long session. Some op.position was made to the measure, particularly by representatives from Lagrange and Steuben counties, and foi some dtty.s it was doubted whether the constitutional majority could be secured for its passage in the house. This test came on Wednesday, Feb. 10, after the caucus had the night previous determined to adhere to the bill as at first offered. No vote in the house had been watched with as great interest up to the time the law was put on its passage, and it was to avoid an exciting scene that the roll was called. Mr. Butler was the only Republican who voted against it. defending his action on the ground that it was unsatisfactory to his constituents ana that his firs! duty was to them. Tlif, vote was 52 to 47, affording one more than the necessary majority. In the senate tho bill had smooth sailing when it camo to a vote, Republicans voting solidly for aud Democrats against it. The figures given below show the vote in the districts as now arranged in the election of 1895, the excess or deficit over tho unit, (which is 12.540 for senator and 6,270 for representative) and tho party to which the difference is credited or charged:
