Deep-Laid Plot Exposed by a Drunken Boaster—Census Enumerator Por- ter to Be Depended On by the Radical Bosses. Pittsburg, Pa. Apml 29.—It was known that upon the occasion of the Americus banquet last Saturday night that Congressman Bayne be- came so exhilarated that he was un- able to stand on his feet when the time came for him to respond to the toast the “Ways and Means,” on which committee he holds such a prominent position, and that the pri- vate secretary of the pious Wana- maker, who was here as the repre- sentative of the Postmast-general, gazed upon the popping corks until he became enthusiastic enough to figure as the chief in a pretty stiff Sunday morning game of poker at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, in which he met with disaster, but not until to-day was it discovered that during these hours of revelry important po- litical secrets were revealed. The Americus Club is emphatical- lyja Quay organization,but numbers among its members not a few adher- ents of Chris Magee, of whom Con- gressman Dalzell is the chief. It was with one of these faithful fol- lowers of Magee, though some other persons were present, that Frank Willing Leach, the private secretary and factotum of the chairman of the national republican committee, be- came involved in a lively argument some time after the close of the ban- quet proper. In such company the conyersation naturally drifted npon Quay’s leadsrship of the party, and then the Magee man became indig- nant. He loudly proclaimed that Quay had sacrificed the organization for the sake of one victory, that the of representatives would surely be overwhelmingly democratiz, and that, foreseeing the signs of disaster, the chairman was, according to common report,getting ready to resign. “Don’t fool yourself,” responded Leach in a half-angry, half-fighting tone; “that meeting of the republi- can committee on May 7, is called for far different purposes than the acceptance of Quay’s resignation. It is called to take official action upon plans, which, perfected by Quay and some of them under his direction al- ready well under way, promises to insure the permanent control of all branches of the government to the republican party.” THE REPUBLICAN SCHEME. Leach stopped amoment and then abruptly asked his companion: “Who is taking this census, any- way?” “Robert P. Porter and his assist- ants, I suppose,” was the somewhat surprised reply. “Yes, and you can just bet that it will be taken right,” was the speedy answer. “What do you suppose Quay spent all those weeks in Florida for? Fishing? Well, hardly. Let me tell you,” and here his voice became at once emphatic and mysterious, “that a Southern negro will have to be very conspicuous to be counted in the census this year.” “What do you mean?” “Just what I say. The census enumerators will discover very few southern negroes this year. The negroes will not kick, and nobody else will be allowed to. You can see in a moment the momentous result of this. We expect to have the cen- sus completed by June 20, thanks to the amended laws. The certifi- cate of Superintendent Porter is all that congress needs to take action for a new apportionment. “By our system of enumerating,” continued the speaker, growing more and more enthusiastic, “we expect the southern states to lose at least 18 or 20 representatives, If the ne- gro is not counted at the polls he shall not be in the census. The northwestern states will gain in just about the proportion that the south- ern ones will lose. Minnesota will get three or four more congressmen and Kansas and Nebraska perhaps half a dozen each, not to speak of the Dakotas and the rest of them.” “But can such action be forced through congress at the eleventh hour, against all precedent?” ex- claimed his listener in astonishment- yond all possibility of dispute plan. presidential campaign is already well under way.
