Mr, Frank H. Nlbecker, of Pennsyl?

whom all thlngs must be subserved.
He cannot he reformed untll he ls made

A large number of local politicians
and applieants for the asslstant secre

they dld not remaln long, as word
soon came from the lnsldo to the effect
that no oral statements from candidates
would bo heard and no electlons would

applieants for the secrctary?hlp were
on the ground, though some of them
wero represented by frlends.
Shortly after tho meetlng convened

liy tho election of Dr. Irvlng, chairman,
and the Rev. Samuel C. Hatcher, of
Farmville, secretary.
A message wns sent out clearlng
the way hy dlsposlng of the waltlng

the bill whlch created the Department
of Charltles, but who wns not appolnted

The polut of Vlew.
In explalnlng the two polnts of vlew

Generally, the amnslng feature of thc
