The speaker dwelt upon the idea
that political campaigns should be
educational not acrimonious and un-

what he preached, never making a
criticism of the Democratic party that

the report.
Another meeting will be held at the
state house this afternoon al 3 o'clock

ment. At the close of this meeting it
will be handed to the governor.
If the report reaches him i'll time, 1t

main in session until late in the after
noon.
If the report does not get to the
governor before the session has adj

before the legislature before next

known positively whether the report
will get to the lawmakers or not.

minority report. His views on equal
taxation are well known, and his re-
port will adhere to the principles
7nun slated in the democratic plat

OYSTERMEN AT
STATE HOUSE.
Rival Factions from Atlantic
County Attend Conference
Made Compromise.

Trenton, Feb. Trivial factions of
Atlantic county oystermen invaded
the state house yesterday afternoon,
aud held q conference with Governor
| Stokes in reference to a settlement of
their difficulties. The parties were
headed by former Sheriff Isaac Col.
Inns, of PleasantvIlle, and B. s.
Dennis, of Scullville. Senator Lee
and Assemblyman Elvins, OF Atlantic
county, were present, and the state
bureau Of shell fisheries was repre-
scented.
The conference resulted in a com
promise that it is believed will end
the oyster war in that county.
After a lively discussion, in which
the governor look q prominent part.
a general agreement was reached that
it would be advisable to organize the
Atlantic county oyster industry, as
Ocean county is organized, with the
county made into an oyster district,
superintended by a commission.
One point which has caused trouble
in the county, and on which no agree.
ment was reached Yesterday, has re-
ference to what lands shall be reserved
for propagating oysters, and what re-
served for natural seed beds.
A solution to this matter was
arrived at by referring it to Senator
Lee and Assemb'yman Elvins, with
instructions to prepare a hill on the
whole situation, emhodying therein
their views on the disputed point. BY
this means it is hoped to get a law on
the statute books that w~illibripg pence
in the oyster Industry in tie County.
