been fraud, it should be punished, and
doubtless would have been in any event.
George 0. FarWell-It is plain to me
that the people of Minneapolis, the
business men and citizens generally.
don't want fraudulent count of
the population. The Indignation agi-
tators would do well to wait
until after the trial to denounce the ac
ton that has been taken in this busi-
ness. As a personal expression, how
ever, have no feeling but one of re-
gret that this trouble has arisen, and
should be as delighted as any one to see
the charges proved untrue.
j. Ross Nichols-The absurdity of the
feeling against St. Paul alleged by the
papers to have been stirred up in Min
neapolis is only too apparent to every
one who looks at the matter in its
proper light. don't suppose there
were dozen men in the
town who had any knowledge
that fraud was suspected in
the census enumeration of Minneapolis.
The Surprisel was just as complete here
as it was there, and [ have heard moth
ing but regret expressed on every hand
that the necessity for such measure
had arisen. After the trial it will be
seen whether there is cause for indig-
nation.
Charles Schuneman-I should Judge
that the newspaper reports of the condi-
tion of feeling anent this matter in Min
neapolis were highly colored. can see
no reason for the belief that Minneapo-
lis business men will countenance any
dishonesty in the enumeration of the
city. Such a proceeding would not he
to their ultimate interest.
John II. Allen--If there is fraud that
should be punished, am in favor of
any method of legally attaining that
end. l am sorry it happened, and dis
like the idea of the creation of an anti
st. Paul feeling up the river. If, as is
possible, the charges are not well
founded, l am in favor of making
Murray apologize as hard as he can.
G. II. Schliek-MinneapoI ought to
have been let alone. The city is old
enough and large enough to be allowed
to run its own affairs, and l, for my
part, don't believe in interference with
other peoples business.
w. A. Hardenbergh-It is a great pity
that all this trouble has arisen, but I
must admit that can see no reason for
hard feeling IN Minneapolis at the ar
rest of men charged with crime
against the government. If the men
are innocent and all Minneapolis knows
IL, then there is, of course, reason for
hard feeling, but nothing can be said
about their innocence or guilt until the
evidence has been heard.
W. j. Dyer-This is a matter for
the citizens of both cities to take up and
prosecute to the utmost limit of the law.
If there has been guilt let us have 1t
punished. This talk about indignation
in Minneapolis is good deal of it on
paper, and not reliable. No one will
believe that the business men and
citizens of Minneapolis want padded
census report. They don't need it. The
city is big enough to make a most
creditable showing without resorting to
any questionable methods.
Joseph McKey-All that can be said
now is that dishonesty in matter of
this kind must be punished, and Mime
apolis wants the offenders punished, if
offenders there are. Of course every
one is sorry that there should be trouble
of this sort, and more particularly that
1t should result in bad feeling against
St. Paul.
Jacob Mannheimer-I deeply regret
the entire business. There should be
no hard feeling between st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The cities are really but
one, though under separate govern
ments, and to the fact that there are
two municipalities where there should,
with natural state of things, be but
one, and the consequent necessity for
two separate census districts. is to be
attributed the trouble which has arisen
and consequent ill feeling.
