DISTRICT CONVENTIONS
VIII BE Held by Massachusetts Demo-
Gratis All Over State.

Boston, April 6.-Democratic con-
ventions will be held in all the four
teen congressional districts of this
state today to elect two delegates from
each district to the national cOnven-
ton. Ten of the conventions are to
be called to order in the afternoon
while the remainder, those in the
Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh
districts. the so-called Boston districts,
are arranged for this evening. The
friends of Richard Olney say that the
delegates chosen must vote for Mr.
OIney at St Louis for the presidential
nomination, inasmuch as the state
convention passed resolutions making
this obligatory.
on the other hand the advocates
of William R. Hearst, led by George
Fred Williams declare that the action
OF the state convention is binding in
no way upon the district conventions.
The Hearst men have predicted that a
majority Of their delegates will be
elected today The friends Of Mr. Oh
ney make similar claim.

The census bureau VIII md some
difficulty in offering a plausible excuse
for the issuance of this bulletin, as an
analysis of the figures will shoy- The
method employed in arriving at these
figures rests on the assumption that the
annual increase for each year since
the last census is one-tenth of the
decennial increase between the last
two censuses. OF course such an as
sumption is entirely erroneous. as will
be seen when applied to Kansas cities.
Kansas City, Kan. for example, is
credited with having made a gain in
three years of 1880, while Galena, a
town which is generally known to be
making no growth whatever, is set
down as having made an increase of
