that the returns are not yet all in, and
that il may be possible, when they are

Mr.. HUSroN, from such incomplete

rOuLKE TO PORTER.

A final blow is dealt PoETER'S alleged
census by Mr.. WILLIAM DUDLEY
FOULKE. Of Indiana. Mr.. FoULKE is
one OF the few Republicans protesting a
belief in the principles of civil service
reform who have the courage 10 de-
mand that their party shall put those
principles into practice. As he says OF
himself ia 4 Scathing letter To PoerEE,
he did all that he could for the sue
cess of the party in ISIS, believing
that the solemn pledges OF the Repuo-
lican platform and Of Mr.. HARRISON,
himself, would be observed when the
party came into power. lie found that
these pledges were not only disregavded.
but boldly repudiated, and he does not
hesitate to condemn the administration
and the officials who have thus dis
credited the platform, and to predict
that a party breaking faith with the
people in such manner cannot expect to
retain its power.
IL is TO the sregard Of the reform
system in the conduct OF the business
Of the Census Bureau that Mr.. FoULKE
attributes the notorious failure of that
important work. He speaks very plain
ly, but expresses no more than the gen
eral sentiment of the public when he
tells Mr.. PORTER that "the census TAX
en- by you through officials chosen by
partisan machinery has become so gen.
orally diScredited that personal de-
fence over your own signature is neceS-
sary"; and he does not pass the bounds
Of reasonable statement when he fur
Their tells Mr.. PORTER that his effort To
defend himself would be more success
ful II the methods pursued at the out
set in the taking of the census had been
less tinctured by those political ele-
mentS which were calculated 10 east
suspicion upon its results"
The methods 10 which Mr.. FoULKE re-
fcrs are the placing Of the Census Blu
reau upon a strictly partisan basis, the
refusal OF the President, by the advice
Of Secretary NOZZLE and Superintendent
poETEE, 70 permit the selection OF
agents ON the ground Of capacity and
