than II was before? Can't you send two
sets of questions, one open and the other
sealed and marked? am too old To ho
caught with chat. think you and Mr..
Baincs can run the whole thing YOUR
selves. Mr.. Baincs claims that he
is the board, whore in a letter to Prof
l.ooncy he stated that the board thought
II best to appoint professor To teach
the summer Normal school in McKin
ncy who was not mixed up In the John
son Franklin controversy, and a
short time afterwards, in his published
communications, he states that he

Governor being absent, he suggested
Mr.. Grow, and Mr.. Swain agreed To il.
Therefore we are all satisfied that Mr..
Baines is the board, and we further he
lievc that you and Mr. Baincs, the
board, can run the Seventeenth Senate
rial district this time, seeing that the
last time you sent your pet franklin
the sealed questions open, so that he
could post his students, and the undc-
niable fact that he did post them is APP
parent, for the examining board was
compelled to grade his students higher
than iantis and Morgan, my appointecs,
and Franklin bDastcd of their being so
graded, but If you call on DR.. Baldwin !
you will see whether the Baincs APP
pointees got their grade through fraud, |
and prove that Professors LoOney and /
Price were not mistaken when they re- |
ported to me that thew did not believe |
the grade they gave was fair, but they |
could not help themselves under the |
Now look at the shape in which YOU
have Cotton the whole thing. Mr.. |
Baincs is the acknowledged Board of |
Education, he appoints Mr.. Grow princi- |
pal TO teach the Summer Normal school !
at Mckinney, and you send him the .
questions. Who can prevent you from |
sending the questions open 10 Mr.. !
Franklin, as You did before, so that he !
can post his students as he did for the .
last examination, and Mr.. Bainos will |
appoint students again, and II ! nomin-
ate any there will be two sets of students
again, and do not like Strengthening
any more Of my appointecs in this way. ,
Mr.. Baincs, the board, does not be-
lieve we have any man in our district
capable of teaching a Summer Normal,
and we will let Mr.. Baincs run it. pre-.
sumo he is able to do so, for he was never
capable of running anything else.
Now, with due respect TO my people,
and knowing the ring ] have to deal
with, | decline having anything to Go
with the Normal school. -'-.......
NOW, my coIntrymcn, the plain truth
is that you cannot get Justice in the
Normal schools. The State Supcrin-
Mr.. Baker. told Mr.. HogIc on /
the cars when he was returning home
from the Normal Institute, that il he had
known SantiS and Morgan were my APP
pointees they should not have had po-
sition in the Institute. Just think of it,
two young men who had answered up,
and who had been graded ahead Of
three students, by the fac
ulty of the Normal Institute. and
whose character were without
