favor of taking the management Of the institu.

fat positions at the Deaf and Dumb Institute are
particularly exercised since they have discov-
cred that the deaf mutes of The State are prac-
tically unanimously supporting the Republican

says the writer of the card is q Mr.. Berg, who is
one OF its employees. Two years ago Berg
worked with the Republicans, aud urged that
oil the benevolent institutions should be re-
moved from political control. He was partic-
ularly severe In his attacks on the management
OF the institution where he 10 now employed,
and the trustees, it is said. considered him 90
dangerous that they quoted him by giving him
a position. There are several other deaf mutes
who. like Stein wentsr, know of the abuses prac-
tlced a. the Deaf and Dumb Institute, but nearly
all have been fixed" by being given good
places. 'One of them" continued Mr.. Stein
wsnter, is Mr.. Gerard, who, two years ago,
was loud in attacking the management. In
order that he might be. under control in this
campaign, he was given the fOremanship OK the
cabinet shop at the institute, which position he
still holds. 1t 10 well known that there is not
