CHICAGO, July 2Sth.-The Journals Wash
ington special says Surprising census returns
from the Southern States, showing large
gains are giving rise to strong suspicious of
fraud. In nearly every Southern city an av.
erage increase of from 80 to 40 per cent is
reported in ten years, while it is generally
known that with the exception of some towns
in Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas and
Texas, there has been no increase in the
South by immigration, neither from the
North nor from foreign countries, and it is
also known that the natural increase of the
population has been discounted by deaths and
removals. How comes it, then, that the
census returns from the South show rate of
increase almost equal to that of the North,
which has been receiving large accessions by
immigration from Europe and from the South
itself? These questions will probably be
asked at the next session of Congress, and
there will be a fine chance for searching in
vestigation into the subject by a congressional
committee. 1t is more than suspected that a
preconcerted scheme, concocted by the South
ern political leaders, has been carried out by
the Southern census takers to fraudulently
magnify the population of their section, in
order to maintain and increase their proper
tionate representation in Congress Certain
it is that almost every official census return
thus far received astonishes the people of the
Census Bureau by the Incredible largeness of
the figures.
