lIAA, O., Dec. 'I4.-senator CALVIN 5.
Br.ee Is apparently a much counted
man. The development OF the fact
that ne MAS counted ia New York has
caused good deal Of comment here IN
the former home OF Briee, and speeuia-
ton ss TO whether he Was enumerated
in both places or had his residence
only III New York. William l.. Watt,
the enumerator OF the Sixth ward, Of
Lima, on June II, 1890, enumerated
CALVIN ). Brice at the home OF has
mother. Watt called on Brice's mother
to enumerate her and the household,
and she gave him. the name of Calvin,
age, and other facts.
Watt said that he had doubts then as
TO whether t was right or not, 70 count
him that way, but finally listed him.
The schedule of the New York census
shows that Brice must have been pres
ent at the enumeration there rs it is as
follows:
Schedule No. l, population and So
cial statistics of the city, county and
State Of New York. signed by James
Watson, enumerator, shows CALVIN 5.
Brice on June {, 1890, to have been a
resident of New York City, G93 Fifth
avenue, Ward 10. The schedule also
gives full and complete answers to the
twenty-eight questions addressed to
him, in which he gives himself as head
of family, "A years of age. married,
born Ia Ono, father born in Pennsylva-
MA, mother IN Ohio. He also says that
his home is mOrtgaged, also gives birth
place of his wife's parents, and says
her age Is 30 years. Also gives names
and ages of five children, all students,
three sons and two daughters. He
gives names, ages, and blrthplaces of
seven servants, which are enumerated
as follows: Maid, housekeeper, maid,
cook, kltchen-maid, footman and laun-
dress"
This makes Brice a resident of two
States, as are shown in the census office
returns. One of them is fraudulent,
and presents an interesting state of af-
fairs TO the Senator from York-Ohio
and the Democratic party of Ohio.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l4.-The friends of
Brice are in a pickle. The exposure by
the census of his residence IN New York
has reused them up, and they now fear
that he Will be debarred from the Sem
ate If something is not done TO prove
his residence in OHIO. They are resort
ing even to bull-donng. Brice wrote
from his home in New York this letter
to Congressman Yoder:
Hon. S. 5. YoDER, House of Repre-
sentatlves, Washington, u. C.-The
Cincinnati Commercial states that Sup.
erintendent Porter authorized the
statement that | was returned in the
census returns as a resident of New
York. Please see HIM Immediately and
ask him for his authority for the state
ment. Advise him that the New York
enumerator was personally informed
that a return would be made for Lima.
Ohio, and that a return was made to
the enumerator there. Please WIRE
answer. CALVIN s. BRICE.
Mr.. Yoder went to the census Office
and found that Brice was enumerated
as citizen of New York, and the only
sOlSce he received was superintendent
Porter's statement that he, Porter. had
not authorized the publication of the
facts. Porter promised Judge NOder
that he would make an investigation
of the case, and in few days he would
advise him of the facts as they appeared
from the returns OF the enumeTatorS at
the two places named.
