In 1873 Mr.. Guffey was the Democratic

and, while Mr.. Guffey ran 1000 votes ahead
of the ticket in Clarion county, where he

Independent Running Made Easy.
Besides the regular party nominations
and those aspiring to them. a. mentioned
above, there is much talk of possible inde-
pendent candidates. Among the combina-
tions of that sort most spoken of at one
time was Eustace s. Morrow for Mayor
and II. L Gourley for Controller. Whether
or not anything Is to come out of that sug-
gestion will perhaps only be developed
after the tickets of the Republicans and
Democrats have taken shape. In certain
contingencies it is said that q combination
like the one spoken of will be effected. The
idea is that if the Republicans and the
Democrats fail by their regular organiza-
tions to give satisfactory candidates, then
tried men like Gourley and Morrow would
be successful But whatever independent
candidates may come out for the MayoraIty
Office, they will probably wait until it is
seen what the REGULARS" propose doing be-
fore formally taking the field.

independent candidates for city Offices much

seems to me, has not a safe foundation. We
are trying to work out some scheme that
shall include slight risk in the loss as well
as sharing of the profits, giving even q
larger chance of advantage than our present
scheme, something like the following:
A Scheme for Profit and Loss.
To limit the loss or gain of the clerks to
or 10 per cent of their present salaries, or
to place them all on the basis of partners,
allowing the total amount of their salaries
as the amount of money they contribute to
the business, and taking their full share of
the profits, in accordance with the same, on
this basis. As an illustration, suppose that
the expense of the business, including the
manufacture of the goods, amounted to a
half-million dollars, and the salaries of the
help amounted to $50, 900, the help would
receive one-eleventh of all the profits, as
they contribute one-eleventh of the capital

MI MERGERS Official Record.
Robert E Mercer, whose friends insist
upon his being named as the Republican
candidate, was born in Fayette county just
80 years ago. When years old he came
with his parents to the Southside, where he
afterward was a glass worker and then
a mailer, and was for many years employed
at the American Iron Works. In 1872 he
was elected Alderman of the Twenty-ifth
ward, after which he left the mill He
served as Alderman part of two terms, and
in 1873 he was elected County Commits
sioner, and is now serving his fifth term in
that Office. He was member of the Board
of Commissioners that personally super
vised the erection of the Court House,
which is frequently referred to as the only
public building ever constructed without q
scandal or job. or the faintest shadow Of
complaint or suspicion.
Mr.. Mercer is genial, pleasant gentle
man and he enjoys the support and conf
dence of many faithful friends among all
classes of the people. He has not yet de-

ably within two weeks, who their candi-
dates shall be.
The nominations will be conferred by the
people probably as holiday gift. The
Baker ballot law provides for the nomina-
tions for Mayor as follows:
When Nominations Must Be Made.
Certificates of nomination and nomination
papers for candidates for all other offices
(this includes the Office Of Mayor), except
township and borou. b offices, shall be filed
with the County Commissioners of the re-
spective counties at least ~ and IS days, re-
spectively, before the day OF the election.
Forty-two DAYS prior to the date of the
election, the second Tuesday of February,
falls on January g. 1t is probable, there
fore, that the nominations will be made in
December, perhaps toward the close.
For the Republican nomination there are
SO far but two candidates much spoken of
though dsrk horses may be in waiting.
EI-Sherif A.E- McCandless has positively
placed himself in the field. He has given
personal attention to his campaign and ex-
presses considerable confidence in his pros
poets County Commissioner Robert E.
Mercer is likely to be the other regular
Republican candidate for the nomination.
he has yet year to serve In the Commits
sioners' office, but his friends have been
earnest in their efforts to have him contest
for the Mayoralty. He has not vet defin-
itely decided whether he will enter the
field.
On a Reform Platform.
F. c. Beinhauer will be an independent
candidate no matter who is nominated by
the other parties. He has been at war with
the regular political organizations of Pitts
burg tor some time and he will stand on a
reform platform in whatever fight NAV de-
velop.
The Democrats of the city are more or less

Mr. Carr's death. He now personally man

He was mustered out of service on June 2,

TEE CASE OF A LOSING BUSINESS
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH.

WRITTEN FOR THE DrsPArcR.1
For many years I have been thinking
over the proft-sharing principle with a
view Of trying 1t practically in the publish
ing house Of CHM & Co. Last year we in
formed our help that we would share with
them to a certain extent the profits for the
coming year, and at the close of the year
we divided with them . sum that raised
their salaries something over 6 per cent.
We have received in return for this divi-
sion the most cordial recognition from our
people, as will be seen from letters sub
mitted below, samples OF the many that
come to US, and the assurance on their part
that the firm will lose nothing by its action.
The basis on which we made the division
was wholly in favor of the CLERKS. They
were to share in the profits but not in the
losses Of the business Any scheme that
