has been granted Census Supervisor
Davenport for the completion OF the
count in Minneapolis. This gives until
10 o'clock Wednesday night for the Sc
curing of all the people in Minneapolis,
but, notwithstanding this extension,
the efforts which are now being
put forward in order to insure
the city good showing should
not be relaxed, if every Minneapolis
citizen is caught and counted. Super
visor Davenport knew of this extension
of time several days ago, but he said
nothing about it, so that none OF the
hustling might be relaxed. Everybody
in the city, police officers, aldermen
and business men, have been putting
forth their utmost endeavorS In order
to secure the best results for the
city. Some of the members OF the
Business Mems union favor an entire
new count under the circumstances and
all of them declare that If the official
returns show that the city has not had
its Just dues these returns should be
thrown aside. 81. A. Turner said on
this matter yesterday:
"By all means, if the count does not
do us justice let the work be done over
again. In my opinion, Minneapolis has
population of at least 245,000, and it
the returns aggregate 235, 900 it Is plain
! that we have been defrauded OF 5000
names. No matter who is to blame the
result is plain. This city will go on
| record for the next ten years as city
of 235,OOO souls. We want no
padding, only fair, honest
count, and if the work has not been
thoroughly done let it be done over
again. The great trouble has been to
enumerate the domestics and the num-
Der of servant girls employed in Min
neapolis makes this one omission an I'M
portant factor in the result"
At any rate the citizens have become
aroused to the fact that the census
enumeration has been carried on in
very bungling manner, and that every
man who has the good of the city at
heart must ''get out and hustle" if any
thing like full count is secured. Al
though there are persons who still insist
that at least 10000 persons, and some say
$4,000 inhabitants will be missed, a
more hopeful feeling in regard to the
matter now prevails, and with hard,
diligent work for the next three days
much can be done to remedy the de-
fects in the work now but half ac-
complished.
Supervisor Davenport was in a some
what happier frame Of mind last night
than he has been for several days. The
volunteers and the Business Mems
union had done heroic work, and that,
with the canvass made by the regular
enumerators, had been prolific OF good
results. Late last night Mr., Davenport
said: 1.-THE enumerators have unil
Wednesday next to verify the returns
made by the volunteers and have no
fear of the result. The citizens have
responded nobly to the call for aid and
I am as sure as a man can be OF any
thing that we will come somewhere
near the figure which has been placed
by the people, but Of course I cannot
say what the figure will be. The GLOBE
has been loyal to Minneapolis and Min
neapolis interest and nobody knows that
better than the business mems union.
Instead of berating the fact that the
enumerators had missed good many
names. the GLOBE jumped into the
breach, and It's reporters did excellent
work; but perhaps that paper is wait
ing until the count is completed, and
then it will set up a howl: If that is
the case, there is no doubt in my mind
apoIis is going to show up in good round
numbers in spite of the opposition
the enumerators have met with.
The citizens have been focking into the
office all day with blanks they have
filled out. Many of them, however, are
duplicates, Their wives or members of
their families had filled out the blanks
left by the enumeratorS and they had
no knowledge of the fact. The men,
bers of the city council have done noble
work, and on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday the enumerators will 60 over
the houses they have missed, and from
which returns have been made to verify
them"
Late last night A. ]. Boardman and
Mr.. Tenny were in consultation with
Mr.. Davenport. Mr.. Davenport ex-
pressed entire confidence in the work
done by the business mems union and
the corps of volunteer enumeratOrS, and
said that while it would be necessary
for the regularly appointed enumerators
to verify the names turned into his
office, he was satisfied that much of the
work could be accomplished by Tues
day evening. From some of the dis
trlcts no complaints have been received,
and it is contemplated to send the
enumerators from these districts into
those which have been poorly canvassed
to complete the count.
81 Just want to say this" said Mr..
Davenport last night, II have been
working from twelve to eighteen hours
day since this thing started, and if
there is man more loyal to Minneapo-
lis in this town than l am want to
meet him. If was the cause of Min
neapolis being left in the count why
didn't the St. Paul papers roast me?
But. as said last night, there were
Of m
GLOBE showed it's loyalty in put
ting things In their true light.
This talk of Minneapolis being
left In the count is all bosh
and originated in the brain
of sensational evening newspa
per reporter. We are not going to be
left, although l must admit that per-
haps few of our citizens will not be
counted. After the whole business is
over will tell the public where the
mistake was made, and when L submit
the facts and figures they will be SO
conclusive that there will be no chance
| for an argument"
"Oh, don't think the citizens Of Min
neapolis have any cause for alarm just
noW," said A. j. Boardman last night.
"Our committee of the Business Mems
union has been on the hustle all day;

of the different wards have done. They
know almost everybody in their re-
spective districts, and they have gone
over them thoroughly. Minneapolis is
loyal to herself, and the count will give
us fully 100000, but even then we may
fall short 10000. But these can be
readily accounted for by being away
from home. Thousands of our best
| citizens are in foreign lands, and then
look at the immense number of voters
who are now on the several drives
which are on the way to the hundreds
| of saw mills in the CITY,"
| The rain of yesterday did much to
help the regularly appointed and volun-
| teer enumeratorS in their work. In the
First ward Aid. Ingenhutt, MCGOWAN
and Brueshaber saw that none Of their
constituents missed the enumerator,
who, with such powerful allies, had a
comparatively easy task in securing
something over 300 names which had
been missed in a former canvass. The
same can be said of all the wards, all of
the aldermen turning out and assisting
the enumerators. The rain helped to
