as closely H!d comNrrhrnSlNCly as |
could, and am obliged to entertain Srri-
Gus doubts of its correctness. There are
good gHuuNdS for believing that some
two hundred thousand Of The inhabi-
tantS OF the city were not cnuntcd.
"Thp municipal authorities Of New

it.

the census was accurate in other parts
of the country. Republicans in Oregon
assert that an incorrect census was taken
there and they complain loudly.
Il am sure that the Democratic Sen

that Il new appOrtionmcnt bill shall not
pass until it shall be made clear that a
correct census has been taken. If it
should turn out that the recent census
was incorrect, then it must be rcctiIiCd

too important matter to be trillcd with.
