Democratic leader received a most en-
thusiastic reception, and the points in
his speech were loudly cheered. He
reiterated his we'll known views in
support of silver and in opposition to
trusts and expansion, and had this to
say on the Chicago quarrel:
"In speaking in Chicago 1 am en-
barrassed by the fact that the advo-
Gates of the Chicago platform are di-
vided into two camps. 1t is not my
business to establish a secret service
in order to ascertain what Democrats
are most devoted to the principles set
forth in the last party creed. All Chi
cago platform Democrats look alike to
me, and instead of trying to drive any
professed believer in that platform
out of the party, my aim is to so i'm
press upon all Democrats the import
ance of the triumph of Democratic
principles that all local differences will
be lost sight of in the determination
to restore the government to the foun-
dations laid by the fathers"
Every mention of Altgeld by the diff
ferent speakers evoked thunderous ap-
plause. Finally the ex-governor was
compelled to make a short speech.

TROUBLES BEGIN.
Census Supervisor ReitzeI and Ills
Troubles.

Troubles.
Census Supervisor X. II. Reitzel, Of Maha-
noy City, is now in position TO feel some of
the annoyances and discomforts of the poll
ticiau with a good sized batch of plums to
distribute among the faithful.
Commissioner Merriam, of the census
bureau, is not only desirous of having the
census of 1900 as complete as any former
census, but he also is anxious TO have it COM
pleted in the least possible time To do this
it will be necessary for each district super
visor to engage almost 100 enumeTators
With such a large number of jobs to dis
tribute it will be readily seen what a super
visor in district as important and populous
as Mr.. Reitzels will have TO contend with
Almost simultaneously with the announce
ment of his appointment his trouble began
Applications for these positions as enumera-
tors are pouring in TO him at the rate of a
dozen a day, aud he at present has sufficient
applications on hand to take the census of
the whole of the Keystone state. He has de-
cided to make the appointments of Berks
county enumerators subject to the endorse
ment of Postmaster High, of Reading. the
Quay leader.
Although the law clearly stipulates that
only persons having the educational qualif-
cations will be employed, some of the sppli-
cations pay no attention to this proviso, their
letters clearly showing that they are in no
way capable for appointment. Considering
that the position as enumerator will not last
more than a month on the average, the
quality Of men desirous of filling the posi-
tiOns would seem to indicate that there is
good sized army Of fairly educated mon of
employment. Mr.. Reitzels district COM
prises Schuylkill and Berks counties and it
will, therefore, he necessary for him to
appoint about 100 enumerators, the rule
being to have an enumerator for every 1000
in population
The provisions Of the census law will, how
ever, lessen the supervisors troubles, the
law requiring that the applicants be sub
jected to an examination and the appoint
ments be made in the order of merit. Doubt
less nine tenths of the persons desiring to
serve in securing the statistics to show Uncle
Sans strength and wealth are una
ware of this. If they were it is not
probable that so many utterly devoid
of the qualifications would go to the trouble
of seeking the place. The enumerators in
in cities must complete their work in fifteen
days, but those in districts haYiug scattered
population are given more time. Mr. Reitzel
will not begin his duty until December 1.
