On the nfst II December. there was due us by

TN ito I'D december The quota Of tails Comfy was

We were Ion told that after dcducng the years n
service due u up the let q December tits County
was deficient four thou,and four hundred aud Thrift
three IA 81 u.en on tie Last caL for three hundred
thousand 900, too men.
Ne imme,i, itely announced that fact. and in our
report stated could not account for even this
much deficiency. excepting the quotas lad been unoe
up TN the brs OF cali ION eight hundred thousand
GOO Ou0) yesis ~ service.
We. hOw.yo. ca lessed ourselves sat'shed WIN 'le

Since tho announcement, however recoGstrucsoh

Ii Ia TO be regretted that the Department at Washing
ton as not pursued ercnt course. and announced
the AERIAL quotas and allowances under this call FOR
tn, OF hundred Thousand tJ0l.0 UJ) men. ~
Under the system pursued IN announcing dencences
and not quotas 1t does ~ II the Department wore
desiious OF obtaining men wtiout letting the people
know exactly on what basis tie quota under !hiS oa for
three hrndr ed thousaDd (yV,oNO) men Is nInde.
From the figures given US there Is just one OF two
G. pciusions TO DO arfit cd at;
Either the part cI has made the quotas upon tie
basis OF call or eight hundred thousand (etOUO IN
stead OF three hundred thousand Goo OO men. Ur else
80 lar az regards tho County OF New York they have
taken away nearly every credt allowed us IN roisng
the quota under he call for five hundred thousand
$40 600 men, aud held to be- deficient ON that Ill
and disailowsd even many OF the men WHO have been
paid bounty since That quota was hoi and prior ~ the
present call.
II the second OF these csuscs Is the one to which the
p esent heavy demand IL attributable IL II the greatest
injustice ever done any community inasmuch as We
We the evidence prove that every man. without OK
cepon ever credited upon our quota has been enised
within Il 9 borders Of our own county.
The Justice OF this only increased by the fact that
after the deficiency Of four thousand four hundred aud
bity three a. $3.50 men WAS announced positive pssur-
,nces we're g,v~n that no uutcfiui Grange would be
made 10 the mhnd. and yet ling this as
,urance sitter months delay. and within twenty 2t
law of the time announced for the draft further de-
nsnd for seventeen thousand 1900 me, is made upon
