Is the Story Trllep

1t is being widely published that the
national republican committee, which has
been called to meet on May Z, purposes to
perfect plan for manipulating the census
so that the blacks will not be correctly
counted. In other words, the superintend-
ent of the census will be directed to instruct
his agents not to hunt up the blacks in the
south, but to avoid counting them
to as great an extent as possible
without exciting suspicion. By this means
it is hoped to so cut down the south's pop
ulation that, under the new apportionment,
she will lose from fifteen to twenty repre-
sentatives in congress, and have her strength
in the electoral college greatly reduced.
The basis of the foregoing is said to be
statements made by Senator Quay's private
secretary, when he was under the influence Of
wine at the dinner of the Allegheny Club in
Plttsburg last Saturday night. 1t may be
that the private secretary never made any
such statements, but it is not at all improb-
able that Senator Quay has some scheme in
view for perpetuating the power of the re-
publican party. 1t is stated that his pri-
vate secretary asserted that when he was in
rioilud leW WEEKS ago MS Wnole time was
not taken up with tarpon fishing. He
was quietly satisfying himself whether
the plan to reduce the south's representation
In congress and in the electoral college by
failing to count large percentage of the
blacks was feasible.
1t can be stated that the plan could not be
carried out successfully. 1t is pretty accu-
rately known how many blacks there are in
each city aud county of the south, and if
the returns should be much below the esti-
mates suspicion would be aroused, and
inquiry instituted at once. If it were found
that the blacks had not been enumerated
correctly there would be such an outburst
of indignation that the Republican party
would lose more than it would gain by the
fraud.

some Sioux Indians showing how the red men
