W. WALL. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, July 6.—Charles H. Mann, who for twenty-five years has had charge of the press gallery of the House of Representatives, employed the has since adjournment tabulating the applications of news- papers and newspaper men for seats at the Democratic National Convention Mr. Mann has performed this work several times before and has reduced it to a system. He keeps record of the application® and notes the character, politics and circulation of every paper, so that those who un- dertake to apportion the seats will have all the information necessary to guide them under their eye when he turns over the books. To the press the at St. Louis. a general committee has assigned 70 seats. The sub-committee of the national committee having charge of the distribution of these seats | is con ed of Norman E. Mack of New York, Daniel J. Campau of Michigan, Charles A. Walsh of Iowa and J. G. Joknson of Texas. It is not a job any man would seek. The fact that each of them is allowed ten tic ets for personal distribution in consid- eration of his trouble will scarcely add to the joy of it once it is known that he has them. Mr. Mann has on file 960 applications for the 702 seats. Of these 584 are from 2 newspapers, 330 from a many ies, 40 from six press sociations and 6 from as many viduals who sign themselves “special correspondents.” Among these last are Joe Howard Jr. of New York, Frank Carpepter of this city and Charles M. Pepper of Chicago—three of the six who are well known under that head. The task of the committee will be to scale down the applications. In some cases this will be comparatively easy, as, for instance, in that of one New York newspaper that asked for sixteen seats. The press seats are divided into two sections, one for the active newspaper men who will grind out their copy in the face of the convention and as its . work proceeds, the other for those who make notes or who write their impres- | sions later. The total number of the seats in the big hall is 10,804. Of these 2000 go to the 2000 delegates and alternates—2012 if Porto Rico and the Philippines are | allowed the six seats each they want. There are 87 boxes with 420 chairs, tickets for which go to members of the national committee and distinguished Democrats. The national committee will also distribute tickets to distin- guished guests for 604 chairs in the arepa. There are 2288 chairs in the gallery. The Business Men's League of St. Louis have 2000 tickets in recog- nition of their effort and money in bringing the convention to the city. The delegates have three seats for dis- tribution besides their own. On the stage for still other guests are 434 seats. CORTELYOU'S QUARTERS. Secretary Cortelyou has established his temporary headquarters as chair- man of the national committee at the Arlington Hotel, which was the home of the late Senator Hanna, his pre- decessor. Secretary Dover will remain here continuously until about August 1, when the headquarters will be set up in New York. In the meantime the members of the executive committee, not necessarily members of the national committee and provided for by the initial meeting In Chicago will be named. The announcement will follow a brief vacation, during which Mr. Cortelyou will presumably be out of daily touch with newspaper men. The vacation is probably suggested by the flood of applications for small jobs that long since set in and which been | of| | Congress in receiving, answering and | | have been ra | nois by Republican d _— their hopes upon these things and are to put forth their very best licks upon them. Connecticut’s Legislature, to be elect- ed this fall, is to choose a successor to Senator Hawley and this lends an added interest to the campaign in that State. As a chance to get to the Sen- ate comes seldom to the ambitions of Connecticut it s an event. State to be chosen Senator is as good las a place on the Federal Supreme bench—during life. General Hawley was first elected twenty-three years upon advanced years causes him to | vacate his seat at the close of his pres- { ent term. Senator Platt, his colleague, ! had been in his place two years when General Hawley was elected. Both of these patriarchs of the upper house succeeded Democrats.

For the addressing of envelopes, the mailing of tons of liter- ature, the keeping of accounts, the in- finite detail that attends the conduct inf a national campaign an army of | small salaried clerks is needful and the number of volunteers would indicate | a patriotism most cheering. Thers will be a few in a number ranging up to |500 who will earn as much as $20 a week, but these are the captains. The | rank and file will draw down about $10. | The enlistments will not be made for | some time, however. Campaign material is in the mean- time being turned out in quantity in the form of speeches made in Congress and | Government reports showing the satis- factory status of business and labor conditions. The ning of New York will be left to the Republican organization of that | State with Chairman and Governor ! Odell at its head, as was done four years ago. Strong effort will be made in West Virginia and New Jersey to meet and off; in those States by the Democrats. cause of the Democratic Hhopes ed in Wisconsin and Illi- nsion the na- tional committee will give special at- tention to those States. Fairbanks' power and popularity will do much to make Indiana certain, but still some attention will be paid to that State. The Mormon question being prosecuted by a Republican Congress gives some slight anxiety that might not other- wise be felt concerning Utah and Idaho and will call for some missionary work there. Labor troubles in Colorado will also provoke a more than ordinarily’ warm contest in that State. The State Legislature, as well as the national ticket, is the concern of the contest in Nebraska, for there- a United States Senator is to be chosen to succeed Sen- ator Dietrich next winter, and it is not denied that the ambitions of Mr. Bryan in that direction shall be ful- Be- filled. This is an outline of the direction | to be taken by the labors of Chairman Cortelyou and the national committee, but that the result in any of the West- ern States, especially, is a matter of real anxiety to the campaign managers is not suggested.

Guarles, Republican; Penn- sylvania, Philander C. Knox, Repub- lican; Nevada, William M. Stewart, Republican; Florida, James P. Talia- i ferro, Democrat. These cases are not in line with that of General Hawley, for he is to be suc- ceeded by some other, being himself not a candidate. These others, at least aspire to return, and will probably do so, all save Senator Stewart, who is likely to be succeeded by some other. In this list are two others, Senators | Aldrich of Rhode Island and Hale of | Maine, who have been in the Senate as |long as General Hawley—twenty-three years—but not any who antedate him. | But there are others—one of whom has | not as yet appeared on the floor of the Senate, Mr. Knox, who is serving the unexpired term of the late Senator | Quay. Senator Dick, serving out the term of the late Senator Hanna, ranks him but a few months. There are but four Senators—Allison of Iowa, Cock- rell of Missouri, Hoar of Massachusetts and Morgan of Alabama—who rank | General Hawley. They are listed in the order named, Allison being the senior Senator, having taken his seat March 4, 1873—thirty-one years of continuous service. And thirty-two States are to elect Governors this fall. They are: Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island, to elect for one year, the only States that have | a gubernatorial election every fall; Ar- | kansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minne- sota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, South Caro- lina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin—eighteen States that elect for two years. New Jersey will elect for three years, the only State having a term of three years, and Del- | aware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Mis- souri, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, Washington, West Virginia and Wyom- ing—eleven States that elect for a term iof four years. Alabama, California, | Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, { Ohlo, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Vir- ginia hold national and Congressional | elections without the gubernatorial fea- ture. The death of Senator Quay was a severe blow to the champions of sepa- ’ rate statehood for Oklahoma, New [ Mexico and Arizona. Many of these believed he would ultimately win if his | health and strength remained. Gov- ernor Brodie of Arizona, who has been in the city for some days, is still not without hopes.
