WASHINGTON, June 15.-(Special)-
| About o'clock this afternoon Colonel
| Brady received a telegram which settled
| the differences in the delayed census su-
pervisOrship matter ard enabled him to
| complete his slate. The Republicans se-
| lected the First, Third. Eighth, Ninth,
and Tenth districts, leaving TO the Demo-
Gratis the Second Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,
| and Seventh. Senator Daniel and Chair
man Agnew then went TO the Census Bu-
reau and submitted the names of the
candidates for appointment as supervisors
as follows

The Democratic congressman who are
favored are w. A. Young. in the Second
District: Sidney L. Epes, in the Fourth;
c. A. Swanson, in the Fifth; Peter j.
Otey, in the Sixth, and James Hay, in the
Seventh. Representatives Jones, Lamb,
and Rixey are severely left.
1t is not believed that the Republicans
were either shrewd or polite in their Sc
lection of districts, the First, Third
Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth being almost
certainly Democratic.
1t is agreed and ordered by Director
Merriam that the supervisors in all of the
districts shall appoint an equal number
Of clerks and enumerators from each po-
ltical party. This will create curious
