WHAT IME CENSUS SHOWS.

According to the Federal Census Of
1870 the population of the United
States was between thirty-nine and
forty millions. Then there were only
fourteen cities in the Union with pop.
ulation of 100, 900 or over. These were
Baltimore, Brooklyn, Boston, Buffalo,
Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, New
ark, New Orleans, New York, Phila-
delphia, San Francisco, st. Louis and
Washington. Now it is estimated that
there are $4,000, goo of people in the
United States, and the census returns
show that there are nineteen cities with
100000 or more inhabitants-C leve-
land, Detroit, Milwaukee, Pittsbnrg
and Providence having been added to
the list since 1870. The increase of
population in the nineteen large cities,
as shown by the census of 1870 and OF
1880, is given as follows:

ANOTHER CONVERT TO HANCOCK.

General Alfred I. Pearson, Chairman
of the Republican Central Committee
of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and dele
gate to the Chicago Convention, has
declared for Hancock. He was Brig.
adler General in the Union army and
has been one of the most prominent Re-
publicans in Western Pennsylvania.
At mass meeting held on the evening
of July I'd, he said, in speech: THAT
he had been life long Republican, and
since the party was organized one OF its
most ardent supporters. He attended
the Chicago Convention as delegate
from Pittsburg, but left the Convention
before the nominations were made, and
when the telegraph clicked the inteli-
gence that Garfield was nominated it
filled him with internal disgust. He
stopped and thought until the dispatch
came announcing the nomination OF
his old fellow soldier, at Cincinnati,
the soldier with whom he fought many
hard battles. He then said he was for
General Winfield Scott Hancock for
President. He remembered distinctly
when the enemy were invading Penn
sylvania, and the citizens were erecting
Notifications with the dirt thrown on
the wrong side, that Hancock was rid
ing in front of the Second Corps at
Gettysburg; that the repelling OF that
mighty army OF $4,000 men depended
upon him. If he had net saved the
day the Army of the Potomac would
have been lost. But the enemy was
driven back by Hancock, and the lives
and property of the citizens were
saved
This is the testimony of a Brigadier
General and delegate to the National
Republican Convention, in Hancock $
case, vet the ''braves" of the Republi-
can press of Nevada, not one of whom,
that we are aware of, ever struck a
blow for the Union, endeavor to make
their readers believe that he was rebel
synpathizer, and not safe man to
place at the head of the Government.
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-07-10

The editor Of the Virginia Enterprise
makes ridiculous and inexcusable blum
ders in his anxiety to make party capt.
tai He accused General Hancock of
being President of the Military Com
mission which tried Mrs. Surratt, when
in fact Hancock was not even mem
Der Of the commission. Now in an
swer to the assertion OF the SILVER
STATE, that Congress since it became
Democratic has been economical, he
says:
"In lS70-7l, five years after the close
of the war, when the debt and interest
account were both large, with many of
the war expenses still unpaid, the pub
lie expenditure was 1922, III, lSS. In
1856 a Republican Congress reduced
the expenditure to S25S 459, 797, de-
crease of nearly S34, GOO, co.,"
Now that statement is true, except
that the House of Representatives
which made the reduction of $34 900,
600, in 1875, was Democratic and not
Republican. This is a fact which even
the Enterprise will not dispute, on
second thought, as it can readily ascer-
tain the truth by referring to the rec
ords. Michael C. Kerr of Indiana, a
Democrat, was elected Speaker of the
House in 1875, and retained the posi-
tion until the time of his death His
successor, S j. Randall, is still Speak
er of the House. TO the readers of the
Enterprise, who are aware Of the fact
that the House was Democratic in
1875 6, at the time that journal admits
the expenses were reduced 1914. 900, 600,
no more effective argument than the
above extract, which it unwittingly
published, could be given in favor Of
Democratic economy.
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-07-10

ton, and the bill which he introduced
to submit that constitution to a vote Of
the people, refutes the first assertion;
and the fact tlat he voted for Lincoln
for President, and that the late Senator
Morton, then Governor of Indiana, Of
fered him the command Of one of the
volunteer regiments of that State, dis
proves the latter. English was an
anti slavery Democrat before the war
and Union Democrat during the war.

1880, is given as follows:

The returns from Boston, Washing
ton and San Francisco are not official,
and may be increased or reduced few
thousand. The people of st. Louis in-
cline to the opinion that the returns
from that city are from $4,000 to lOO,-
600 less than the actual number Of in.
habitants, and they have ordered an
other enumeration made. AS the cen
sus enumerators cannot do the work,
the time allowed them by law to do so
having expired ON the LIST instant, the
letter carriers have been engaged to
take the census, and are now enumer-
ating the population.

ASKED TO RESIGN.

The failure of the Reno Savings Bank,
of which the State Treasurer was Di-
rector, is getting that gentleman into
hot water. 1t is known by the public
and admitted by him that he went to
the bank just before it collapsed and
drew out quite an amount OF money,
which he claimed belonged to the State.
The explanation which he gives Of this
suspicious transaction does not begin to
satisfy the depositors. and at meeting
held at Reno he was requested to re-
sign. The Gazette says the meeting
was composed OF respectable men and
women, who denounced the State Treas
urer as a thief, and passed resolutions
without dissenting voice demanding
his resignation. There are, says the
Gazette, probably men living who have
a greater sense of propriety than L. l..
Crockett, but it is probable that Mr..
Crockett will see the improperly of a
man whom the whole community stig-
matize as robber, retaining the office
of State Treasurer for day"
The Gazette further asse, is that the
State Board of Examiners, two Or three
days before they counted the money in
the State Treasury, notified the Treas
urer of their intention, so as to give
him ample time to make up any def
ciencies that might exist by reason of
the failure of the bank.
