UNEXPECTED RnsuLrs-rHE CENSUS BADLY rAkRN
tr .H3l From tho Albany Argus.
The scattering and unofficial returns Of the census
takers Indicate unexpected results II would secm AZ II
OF the centres OF population had retroHaded within
the last five years Our neghbors Troy and Cobors,
both show 0 diminished population compared with the
last In the agricultural region the same pheno
mcnon IL general
We do NOT accept the result Troy Cohoes and most
population despite the war There has been large
ir beside tho influx Of emigration from Europe
and tho CanusiRs and from the South. Af'
We fear that the very badly taken Tro ap
poinmens have been given to politicians favox and
the s small and the labor heavy the only way to
make the favor real is for the recipient to- srk
the labor and draw all the salary II is possible also,
tina, families in view OF the draft the income ax, and
other nquisitoral visitaons Of authority, may have
armed to withhold Information and to reserve full
statements OF facts LID -l- te
Much injustice is likely TO accrue from this We are
TO have apporonment OF In the Leg
slature the basis of this II the nusncration
is imperfect, will the representation b.. worss
eft ct will be the injury wrought to localities by the OIL
cia report that they retrogadng IN population, and
people will conclude deteroratins in numbers
and in the elements OF prosperity. al. I..s.
This will operate 20 the serious disadvantage OF some
localities We do not know bow the evil may be
reneded but IL would be WORTH while ksomo places 10
take the census anew.
