Rev J. F. Hoyt, who has hesitated which of his calls to accept, has decided in favor of Cheshire. His pastorate there will begin August l. Cheshire is only about eight miles from Meriden and Wa terbury and F from New Haven and is connected with all three cities by rail road. The location, educational advan- tages and the unanimity of the call, with the promising field of usefulness such a church affords, have influenced his decis- ion, but Mrs Hoyt's health and desire to be near friends were the principal reasons for the choice.

The New York Journals Position.

In reading the latest issue of your in teresting paper, l was amused at re- markable letter from one of the editors of the New York Morning Journal in an- swer to IA rank swindle.' We'll, if Mir Green had let the matter rest, l, and probably many others, might have had our doubts about the honesty of the Jour- nal and that would be all; but when MT Green blazes forth in long letter to jus tify the actions of his paper and, in his attempted Justification, presented facts which before were merely rumors, we are certainly compelled to believe In tise fraudulent nature of the whole business and to conclude that the contest was but money-making scheme which out- ranks all the other swindles of the year. Now, in trying to present plausible case, Mir Green admits the very evidence on which the friends of Miss Carroll base their claim of fraud. He a~.nits that Danbury parties in the interest of Miss Helm visited the Journal office on We'd nesday; that they found out that all the money in their possession would not put Miss Helm ahead of Miss Carroll; that he accepted an order for sufficient votes or papers to place Miss Helm in the lead. But, mark you, there was no money paid for this order for papers until the follow ing day, the day after the contest was
 
 close ut noon on Wednesday,. The Dan- bury parties visited the Journal office at the last hour, found out the standing oi the contestants, gave an order without money for sufficient votes to place theiI candidate ahead, went home, raised the money and, on Thursday, the day after the contest closed, telegraphed it to New York! What farce And with what admirable gall this editor of the Journal comes forward and tells the people o1 Connecticut that 1t was a square deal What gullible nlncompoops we mMst pc The friends of Miss Carroll, and the vote shows they are many, are much happier over their defeat than to be victors ant participants in any such disgusting swin dIe. When they participate in any con test in the future, it will be with som' reputable journal whose character ' above suspicion. LJ- K. Madsgan Bridgeport,
