Costello faction to withdraw all Of its
tickets, for the reason that all Of these
tickets were protested against by the
Darr-C Carr -Bentonians. The Costello rep
resentatives refused to accept the offer,
and the meeting came to an end about ;
o'clock.
About S o'clock Senator W. ]. Stone.
at the instance OF the Clark headquar-
ters, called the representatives together
again and reconsidered the issue. Sena-
tor Stone proposed that a joint ticket
be formed, with one-half Of its dele
gates from the Newman faction and the
remainder from the Costello elepent,
each OF the twelve delegates being en-
titled to q half vote. The Costello fac
ton acceded to the proposition, but the
Newmanites declined to accept It. The
meeting then came to and end. and soon
afterward Senator Fred 7. Dubois, man
ager Of the national Clark heEdquaF-
ters, gave out q statement indorsinE the
Costello, ticket a. the. oficially instructed
Clark element.
Deeision By Dubois.
I'VE regret" reads the statement.
that a direct opportunity has not been
given for the people Of the District to
express themselves in a direct way, for
We know Clark would obtain an over
whelming majority of the vote. In or
der. therefore, to secure a Clark dele
ton, upon which we could always de-
pend. We have decided that It is now
necessary for US to give our indorSe-
ment to q Clark ticket.
we have found II impossible to ad-
just differences between the factions, as
Il appears that these differences are
based upon controversies over which
there is considerable feeling. Therefore,
having done everything that reasonably
could be done. we now give our indorse-
ment to and call upon the friends OF
Speaker Clark to support the ticket
known as the Costello ticket
I'VE are satisfied that II is necessary
for the Speakers friends to support this
ticket in the several districts II they
desire to insure the election OF a dele
cation 10 Baltimore composed OF out
and-out Clark men, about whose position
there can be no question, and who have
no Ieanings to or interest in any other
candidate for the nomination.
I'VE have doubts as to the other
tickets presented, because the names OF
several who are not for Clark, but who
are known to be supporters Of other
candidates, appear upon these other
tickets. The friends Of Mr.. Clark are
requested by way Of expression OF their
approval Of the Speakers candidacy TO
vote for the ticket above lndorsed."
Senator Dubois stated that II the Dem
ocrats vote for any ticket other than
that headed by Costello, the interests OF
Speaker Clark in the District will be
placed in jeopardy.

DAY AND ONLY A FEW WILL

Newspapers, hotel guests and news
dealers, where the latter have papers
sent through the mails, will be the
only ones to receive mail through the

new regulations, ordering that no mail

The purpose Of this law is to reduce
as far as practicable the amount of
Sunday labor in postofflces. However,
the movement of transit mail and the
distribution of mail coIlected in cities

must be continued, and in order that
the early delivery on Monday may not
be delayed mail received on Sunday
for delivery by carrier on Monday
morning, as far as practicable, should
be worked after midnight on Sunday.
Clerks when making direct pack
ages that will reach first and second
class Offices on Sunday should place
letters addressed to newspapers and

COMPARISONS
OF PAYRO[LS
SECRETARY, IN ORDER TO CON-
TRoVERT IDEA THAT THIS CITY
HAS NO PAY ROLL, DRAWS SOME
DEDUCTIONS.

The Pensacola Commercial Associa-
ton recently compiled a statement to
controvert the idea in the minds Of
some that Pensacola had no pay roll.
To further emphasize the fact that
Pensacola has pay roll, a lesson may
be learned from a statement made in
the last issue of the Manufacturers
Record relative to Atlanta. This
statement shows that the city OF At
lanta has 4SS Industrial plants with a
capital of $30,878,000, 1901 wage earn
ers with an annual pay roll of ss,S47,-
600, population of the city being 1885,

The statement above referred to
issued by the Pensacola Commercial
Association shows that Pensacola has

$2.529,495, employing 4.e11 wage earn
ers with an annual pay roll of $685.
600, and the population Of the city is
5000.
From the above comparison, the
following deduction is made:
Pensacola has one plant to every
2Ss of population; Atlanta has one
plant TO every 321 OF population; Pen
five OF her population employed in in
dustry; Atlanta, 81 per cent, or one
