PORrER's PARTISAN CENSUS.
Although the protest Of the people OF New
York against the injustice done them by the
Census Bureau in leaving out Of its count
nearly 2OO.OOO citizens, may be Of no imme-
diate avail. the notoriety given to the matter
has directed attention 20 similar defects IN
other parts Of the United states. The im-
preston il gaining ground that partisal-
spirit has been shown, and deliberate enoft
made in certain localities 10 credit them
with "A larger population than they possess,
and in others 10 underrate the number when
the majority is strongly Democratic. A.
the latter policy was pursued In the case Of
New York. il led 10 investigations, with
the result that several cities md they have
suffered from "A similar procedure. The
Democrats OF Brooklyn are convinced that
their city has come under the same rule,
and the enumeration which has been or
dercd by Mayor Chaplin, and ~ being con-
Quoted by the police, will show whether
they. too, have been underratcd, and thus
deprived Of a representative In Congress.
Taking the basis Of apportiOnment for
representatives at 10000 persons, the pop
tiOn Of $4,000 reported by Quay's bureau
allow them four representatives. with 81
600 persons over This number being less
than halt the basis, they cannot claim an
other representative. The true population
OF Brooklyn il something over $4,000.
This gives four representatives, with l2O,-
900, which surplus, being more than halt
the basis rate, entities that city 10 aDother
representative under "A rule uniform In all
cases.
ELECTION BITS.
This campaign, probably on account Of
the many peculiar turns II has raken, has
not brought out the usual attraction shown
at this time Of the ycar-tbat Of placing
money on the general result Of the election.
The fact has caused considerable surprise
in and about the different hotels, where IN
times gone by stacks and stacks OF money
have been pledged. Few bets are being
made; at least few are given publicity II
made. and those wagers which are known
% have been laid have been for small
amounts, and were not made by the pro-
tessiOnal gambling fraternity. There have
been more offers than there have been
takers, and most of the offers have been IA
yorable to Mayor Grants reelection.
Thousands Of dollars are lying around in
sporting resorts waiting for bold betters
willing to accept attractive odds. Odds
have been offered of two 20 one against
Scotrs election, and there are still out
standing many oilers AT this rate.
