No Headlines, Editorials, June 21, 1895

The Oyster Bay Pilot is not pleased with the re-apportionment, but any one who will consider the matter with a disinterested mind will conclude that the Supervisors could not have arranged the districts more harmoniously or with greater fairness. Of course Democratic politicians who have been living in and holding office in a Democratic district will selfishly rebel against being placed in a surely Republican district and becoming back numbers.



The beer brewing business has grown rapidly in Brooklyn. There are 33 breweries and their annual output is 1,824,972 barrels. In 1841 the annual output was 300 barrels.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, June 21, 1895, p. 4.
