ing him OF the necessity of pressing
the sensational charges he has made
against Chief Westbrook, and propose
themselves to establish the truth Of
the preachers charges.
Twenty-four prominent business and
professional men of the city signed the
following paper, which has been pre-
sented to Mayor Lippitt, who is ex-
otficio chairman of the board of police
commissioners:

nouncing the charges made against

nation, therefore the undersigned cit>
lzens, to relieve DR.. Broughton from
further trouble and responsibility in

and after thorough investigation

hands he would order an investigation.
There is good deal of feeling z
the community over the affair and two
distinct factions have formed.

Thomas Ryan, who is a delegate
from Virginia to the democratic
national convention which meets in
St. Louis today, believes that the
southern delegates should CO operate
to secure a nomination which Will in
vite success. He says:
"In the light of the republican con-
ventiou the southern people have more
at stake in the democratic convention
soon to meet in ST. Louis than all the
rest OF the people in this country
Without the south there would be no
democratic party. The delegates from
that section, to be true TO themselves
and the people, should Insist that all
differences, whether personal or pollt-
cal, be subordinated to the unihcatlon
OF the party and the selection OF a
candidate who will arouse the enfhusi-
asm and fire of the hopes of democrats
everywhere.
"Success means continued white
supremacy in the south, with all it i'm
plies. 1t means that the political faith
of the people of that section shall be
changed only by appeals to judgement
and conscience as to what Is best for
all the people of our common country,
and not through federal laws, dictated
and enforced by a centralized and
politically hostile administration a.

States marshal when other methods no
longer avail.

the work of the republican national
convention which has just adjourned

DOGS KEPT HIM AWAKE.
U. S. Army Dogs Disturbued
Gov. TerreIl'S SAUNDERS.

A clash between the chief executive
of the state of Georgia and the author
tiles of the department of the gulf,
United States army, was narrowly
ayerted last night, says an Atlanta dis
patch.
The headquarters of the department
of gulf are located next to the execu-
tive mansion on Peachtree street, At
lanta's fashionable thorOughfare. Sew
eral officers of the department keep
fine dogs whose barking has disturbed
Governor Terrell's slumbers for sever
al nights. Last night after vainly
counting sleep for several hours the
governor began to call the army head
quarters by telephone. It was plainly
a case of the sentinel asleep, as no one
answered and the governor was forced
to call on the city police to awaken
the headquarter orderlies and induce
them TO quiet the dogs.
The soldiers were prompt to recog-
nize the supremacy of the civil author
tiles, the dogs were suppressed and
the governor allowed TO fall peacefully
to slumbers which had been rudely
interrupted.

COTTON PRICES GO UP
ON HIGHER CABLES

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Cotton opened
active and firm. to 10 points higher.
Room traders who went short last night
were forced TO cover on the call owing
TO the bullish action OF the Liverpool
market, cables from there coming about
twice as high as expected. Although
some OF the local houses had large
blocks for sale on the bulge, partly, II
was thought, for Southern account. the
demand absorbed the offerings steadily
and the market continued 10 advance

This morning, while District Commits

Department 20 report on the three appdl-
cations recently made 10 the Commits
sioners for permission TO hang political
banners across the streets OF Washing
ton, and before the Corporation COun-
sells opinion on the authority OF the
Commissioners 20 refuse such permits
was made public, District Commissioner
Macfarlaud issued the following OF
hciaI explanation of his position IN the
matter;
81 shall approve the applications for
permission to suspend political banners
over the streets II they are favOTably
reported ou by the Police Department.
for the same reason that / approved
the similar application of the Young
Men Christian Association after IL had
been f6vOrsbiy reported by the Police
Department
THE principle is the same in all these
cases. As recognized by the Jime-hOu-
Ored custom OF the Commissioners, &c is
that any reputable organization repre-
senuing "a large number Of our citizens
having public and not private ends FOR
its object shall be granted the privilege,
but it shall be denied where it IS sought
for private gain by individuals or or
ganizati0us.
The Corporation Counsel has held
that the matter IS discretionary with
the Commissioners, except that they
cannot grant the privilege 10 those who
hope 10 make private profit out OF it,
The number Of applications has always
been very small. They are made at long
intervals, and Tor only a short space OF
time The banners must be OF "a suit
able character, suspended at a. pr0Der
height and for q temporary period. The
Commissioners have never granted the
privilege for the advertising OF business
matters. and never will"
