TIE RADICALS ARE MAKING terrible
howl over the results Of the census in
the South. They say that tic great
incrcasc Of population in our section
since 1870 is not real, but tho result
OF fraud in the ccnsns-taking. Well,
that's bad. Blt seeing that all the
census machinery is in the hands OF the
tfoo'v loil," we can't understand how
the Radicals can have tho cheek to
Erumbic. The truth is, tho census OF
1870 was taken by fools or knavcs,
lmi" to make Il poor showing for the
South, and now that tho work has
been honestly done there is Il proper
showing for our section.
