THE CENSUS FRAUDS.

"AIr. German is we'll acquainted with
the census fight. but he entirely mis-
takes the Republican point of view, as
we'll he might, for il did NOT impress him
AT the time. even though supported by
50 good am authority as Thomas Jcffpr-
som, The Republican argument in the
Senate ws,~ based upon the assumption
of the existence of fraud: THAT il was
the duty of the federal government to
detect and punish the frauds and cor
rect the census, and that the State
should spend no money for that p,lr-
pose until it became evident that the fed
eral government declined to do so. This
WIS well shown by the proposition to
introduce into the census law Il clause
authorizing Governor Smith first to call
on the federal government for the cor
rection slnd rnly to ORDER II State census
in case the authorities ut Washington
failed to do their duty.
Events have shown how absolutely
correct this position wsis and how bent
the Democratic Managers were to have
census at any cost They knew that
