TT is understood that Kelley will be put
into the New York campaign to rally" the
Irish Catholic vote for the Democratic party.
We do not believe either the Irish or the Irish
Catholics to be so mean and disloyal to the
government of the United States as to blindly
follow man like Kelley. If he is put into
the campaign at all, it must be to emphasize
the administrators approval of the reasonable
language INDUCED in by the fellow at time
when he thought he could spout his senti-
ments ad libitum.

1T was a hundred years after the close of
the Revolution before the great monument to
Washington was completed. Last week, after
lapse of seventy-two years since the battle
of Lake Erie, a monument to Commodore
Perry was dedicated at Newport, in his native
State, Rhode Island. At this rate of progress
monument to General Grant should be COM
pleted at New York in about fifty years, or
about 1885. Indications, at present, are that
it will not be done much before that date.

church as set forth by the General Conference
(1840), the instructions of the Discipline, the
ordination vows, and the peace and harmony
of Methodism demand that itinerant eff
fective ministers should abstain from can

parties" This incident will probably mark
the end of the effort to make party machine
out of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Mr.. DENNY was nominated by the ''Slick
Six" Harry Adams & Co.-The Sentinel.
Merely as matter of fact and not to fall
into the silly clap-t trap of bowling about ''the
slick six" it may be stated that the "slick
six" were not for Mr.. Denny. Mr.. Adams,
for instance, was personally favorable to Gen.
McGinnis and if there were any others of the
six in the city convention will the Sentinel
be kind enough to name them?

The envlouS Murky undertakes
to read the county commissioners a
lesson on their duties, tries to make
a mountain out of fabrication and
malice. Our bill rendered for pub
fishing the tax list, together with
half a dozen smaller bills were made
up precisely with our bid to do the
work. And when the Murky-eX-
ceedlngly murky-says these bills
were allowed without a question, it
deliberately falsilies. The commits
sioners carefully looked them over
in the presence of County Auditor
Stauff and District Attorney Lauder,
and in the case of the tax list were
unable to count the town lots and
make as many us we had, sent for
us to explain how we got them,
which was very readily done, and
the board was thoroughly satisfied.
There is perhaps not Il more compe-
tant upright and honest body of men
looking after county matters in the
territory, than the gentlemen in
question, the hungry and plratical
Murky to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, and the tax payers may rest as
sured that their interests are care
fully looked after. There is perhaps
not another county in the territory
having it's printing done half as
cheaply as Richland county, it hav-
ing saved $1,000 or $14O0 the present
year on this item alone. Not only
these facts, but our bills were made
out precisely according to the bid
to do the work.

and the transaction of some other
business, the following was passed
unanimously:
Resolved, that the Rev. George B.
Barnes be requested to occupy our
pulpit as pastor for the ensuing
year, at a salary Of twelve hundred
dollars and house rent: And further
be it resolved, that we, members of
this church and congregation, con-
gratulate our pastor upon the large
measure of success which has at
tended his labors among us, for we
are sensible that to great degree
our present spiritual and financial
health is the consequence of his
earnest and judicious ministration;
and through the coming year we do
pledge to him our hearty co-opera-
tion and staunch support in all
christian work and righteous effort.
