ID. C., arrived in the city yesterday
morning, accompanied by 81. S. Mer-
rill and A. B. Coolidge. Under special
instructions from Superintendent of
Census Porter, the recount of St. Paul
will be made by Supervisor Wardle,
who has for many years been connected
with the census bureau. Mr.. Merrill is
from the treasury department. and DR..
Coolidge from the pension department.
These gentlemen have been deputed to
assist Mr.. Wardle. On their arrival in
st. Paul Mr.. Wardle and his COM
panions made their way to the Hotel
Ryon. Here rooms were taken for oc-
cupation during their sojourn in the
city. Chairman Bushnell. of the census
committee, was astir early yesterday
morning, and at 9 o'clock called to order
joint meeting of the citizens commit
tee and committee appointed by the
city council. The committees will act
jointly in securing the one end both
have in view--a full recount of the city.
w. M. Bushnell was chosen chairman
Cardy secretary. Chairman Bushnell
announced Mr.. Wardie's arrival. and
a subcommittee was appointed sto
wait upon him and bring him
to the meeting. Messrs. Bushnell and
Nichols and Aid. Bott were selected.
Supervisor Wardle was found at the
Ryan, and warmly responded to the cor
dial welcome extended him. He at
once returned with the committee to
the council chamber, which is the head
quarters of the citizens and aldermanic
committees. Chairman Bushnell intro
duced the supervisor to the representa-
tive gentlemen present. and he was
heartily greeted. Mr.. Wardle is thor
ough business man, and has had long
experience in the census bureau. Ten
years ago he had charge of the recount
in st. Louis. He is about forty-one
years of age, and very pleasant gen
tleman to meet. He made an excellent
impression upon representative citizens
he met yesterday. Mr.. Wardle is as
anxious as any St. Paul man that there
should be a fair and full recount of the
city, and he asks all citizens to assist
him in obtaining full recount-a re-
count which will be satisfactory to
everybody. That he is perfectly disin-
terested in the matter may be gathered
from talk with him.
Supervisor Wardle favors quick
census; in fact, he proposes to complete
the recount in four days. To accomplish
this end he will employ as many emu
meratOrS as are recommended by the
census committee. All applications
must be made to this committee. The
very best and most competent men will
be taken. None of the old enumtratOrS
need apply. MI. Wardle says he is au-
thorized by the government to employ
Interpreters to accompany enumeratorS
in districts where the foreign popula-
ton required it. These interpreters will
also be selected from a list furnished by
the census committee. No females will
be employed. The question of absentees
is very important one, and in regard
to it Mr.. Wardle SAYS: "All persons who
were residents of the city, and counted
as such, but were absent, and had no
absolute house in the city, would be
enumerated for supplementary sched-
ules." He could not say whether they
would be allowed in the count at Wash
ington or not. The recount will be on
the population alone. 1t will begin
Monday next, or the Monday following,
Just in accordance with the wishes of
the census committee. Mr.. Wardle de-
sires to give the committee adequate
time to complete arrangements. Every
opportunity will be afforded citizens to
see how the recount progresses, and Ill
case any doubt is manifested regarding
any district, the supervisor will have it
re-recounted. TO quote Mr.. Wardle'S
fn
body, and propose to take fair and
square census, and will not leave your
city until every complaint has been in
vestigated and the count entirely salts
factory to your committee"
Mr.. Wardle was introduced to City
Engineer Rundlett, who furnished
maps of the city, with which the super
visor can arrange the enumeratOrS' dis
tricts. Mr.. Wardle subsequently Wis
tied the federal building, and in the
circuit court room he will make his
headquarters.
There were few details also accom-
plished by the joint census committee
before adjourning. Messrs. .. .. Gul-
len, M. d. Flower and H. II. Fuller
were appointed committee on enumer-
ators. This committee will attend to
all applications, and clerk has been
council chamber in the city hall, to
furnish blank forms and details
to applicants. Up to last night 1856 APP
plicants had filed blanks, and 100 had
been selected by the committee. A sub
committee was also appointed to pre-
pare an address to the citizens of st.
Paul setting sorth the exact facts of the
recount, and what Supervisor Wardle
desires to accomplish. This committee
is made up of H. P. Hall, Lewis Baker,
j. Wheelock, H. Castle and c. II. Lienau.
A meeting of the Joint committee will
be held in the council chamber at II
o'clock this morning. Supervisor Wardlel,

expected to have ready for signature OF
members the address to citizens.
Seventeen boxes of schedule blanks.

ployes, known to be faithful and COM

list.
