At the present time there are 3143 employ ees at work in the Census Bureau drawing SBOBI per day. The first volume of the population statistic s will be ready about De cember 10, which will be f<-ir years ahead of the time at which Uie cor responding volume was ready in the last census, and about as much ahead as any other census in the history of the country. This will give some idea of the way the work has been pushed. Between this time and the 10th of next April about 2500 em ployees in the bureau will be dis missed. A great saving will be made in this census in printing, and by the reduction in the number of volumes printed. | OFFICIAL VOTE, ELECTION, NOV. 5, 1901. si 1 . &T iuli pHci}PH T fc a; «i & £ £se ~ b *- W • >,W Q ~ !

Stephens, Attorney for petitioner. Laporte, Pa., Nov. 6th, 1901. The result of th election is by no ! means disheartening. Of three can didates upon the Democratic side, two were elected with good majori ties. The defeat of Mr. Walsh was due to two causes, namely; the treachery of Democratic sore-heads in Cherry township, and company bossism at Lopez and Rickets, were capital seems to control the situation. In the Western part of the county where the people act of their own volition, untramelled by the power of a master, the ballot spoke in thunderous tones denouncing present rule and oppression. Their actions bears abundant evidence of their in telligence, fairness and sense of just ice. Undaunted by tha little cloud, we should unite more closely for fu ture action, intent upon an over throw of the gang who seek nothing less than ruin.—Scouten's Herald. The official returns elsewhere in this issue furnishes figures that shows plainly the reverse of the above state ments, and further shows how wide spread is the revolt against Scouten ism in this county. He states that two causes defeated his man Walsh. What were the causes that brought Iteeser's defeat within 19 votes, he having but 36 plurality, when it is seen that he re ceived upwards of 225 democratic votes while the nominal democratic minority is but 250 ? The popular vote against Walsh was offset by only two districts, Elkland and Fox, which formerly gave large Republi can majorities. Had it not been for the votes of misguided Republicans Walsh's own parti/ would have de nounced him in overwhelming de feat. Had Walsh received his own part j/ vote together with the 125 or more Republican support he got, his majority would have been nearly 500 over Mr. Iteeser. It was un thinkable that loyal Democrats could have acted otherwise than they did. They knew the work of Scouten and his sardonic opposition to everything that is honest and reputable in poli tics. They knew that Walsh would be nothing less than a tool for Scout en. They realized that such a man is an enemy to any party or com munity, and following the policy of supporting only good men and clean methods must have of necessity done as they did. "Democratic sore heads in Cherry," as Scouten calls them, were no more in evidence in that locality than in nearly all other Democratic districts, where we see Walsh's vote shows a shrinkage from that of other Democratic can didates. The vote in Lopez shows only a normal Republican vote, which is indicative that it fought temptation with a heroism that casts undying lustre upon its manhood and citizenship. Had all Republi can districts done as well, liberty loving Democrats would look upon our party with much more credit. Little short of a revolutionary sen timent was required to counterbal ance the forces working against Mr. Reeser. With a persistency that has no parallel In politics and with a personal interest that has faltered at no expense, none but Scouten himself will ever know what "capi tal it took to control the situation." The responsibility for the reduced democratic vote for Walsh rests with the one who controled the nom ination in this instance. The chair man must share in the responsibility for the contraction of democratic votes for Walsh in every township that can always be put down as strongly democratic when the ticket is inspiring and representative in stead of personal and depressing. I is little wonder now that Scouten cunningly peeks to shift the blame upon those self respecting democrats who refused to yield to his demands. The defeat of Walsh was the ex pression of an independent citizen ship that rose In revolt against one man rule through the influence of money, and overthrew it by the lawful power of the ballot.
