Key West Equator: C. 3. Pendleton of
this paper has been Endorsed by the demo

for appointment as one OF the city commits
sioners. The governor overlooked his

qulred nOn-partisau board, and he asked
that the republicans make Recommendation
for four men. At the governors request a
petition was circulated among the leading
republicans, and Mr.. Pendleton's name,
although not republican nv any meaus,
headed this list. Senator JEFF B. Bro we
and Hon. William Bethel in Iorsed this dual
recommendation by both letters and tele
grams to the governor. Hon. Philip
L. Thompson also states that
he did the same thing in both
his letters and kilograms to the
governor. Mr.. Pendleton has never been q
candidate for the position, and for a Ions
time positively refused to allow his nam,
used, but the pressure of friends was suct
that he considered it duty, and who would
not, with such recommendations! But i
seems that there are some in the city tina
are anxious that he should not be appointed
and they are taking an unfair advantag,
of those who recommended him to proven
his appointment 1t is reported that tn,
| governor, although personally unfavorabl,
| TO Mr.. Pendleton, wrote here that he woulC
appoint him unless there was big petition
| against it. This information came to those
| who would like to make use of it, and the,
started out on yesterday morning. with
secret petition. asking that he be not ap
pointed.
