CONTEST CONTINUES.
The Great Popular Preachers Contest
Goes Merrily on
This Week Rev Jordan Chavis of Quincy,
Heads the Procession-Are you
, Working Hard for Your
Pastor? Who'll Win?

SulluR OuG Dd1IOCS III CQ0 contest 1O1
the prizes offered by The APPEAL to the
ten most popular ministers in the states
Of Illinois, Minnesota, Kentucky and
Missouri, grows apace.
The friends Of the ministers have be-
gun to work in earnest. There is rea
son to believe that some will hold back
votes. There is no reason for and
nothing can be gained by this course
This contest is perfectly fair one and
will be to the end.
Request is made that those sending in
any number of votes will please write
plainly upon the outside of the envelope
the number of votes sent. They will
also be careful to cut out the ballot, nc
more and no less, trimming it neatly tc
the line. They will likewise avoid roll.
ing them. Observance of these three
simple injunctions will greatly abridge
the labors at this office.
The interest in the result in some quar-.
ters is extraordinary. Many Of the
friends of the preachers are greatly con-
cerned az though it meant a suit Of
clothes or a cane or a portrait for them
personally. They employ all their elo-
quence to persuade friends that their
own particular candidate is the best and
most deserving of popular support.
The name of the candidates appear in
the order of their standing. The first
in the list has received the largest mum
Der of votes, the second the next largest
and 50 on throughout the entire list, the
one at the bottom having received the
least number. If your candidate is wei
down on the list it indicates that it vii
be necessary for your friends to besti1
yourselves on his behalf if you woulc
have him win.

the Popular Preachers are.
All Colored Preachers in the States of III
nols, Minnesota, Kentucky and Mis-
souri, Eligible to the Contest.
The People to Decide.

The APPEAL has heard so much said
about the popularity of this preacher or
that preacher, that it has determined to
have the people decide the question.
And, in order to bring out full ex-
preston it has decided to offer list of
prizes to be awarded to the ten most
popular preachers in Illinois, Missouri,
Kentucky and Minnesota.
The contest is confined to the fou,
states in which The APPEAL has offices
of publication.
The prizes will be awarded ACCORDING
to the number of votes cast for each con,
testant.

The APPEAL can not in common fair
ness, advocate the merits of this or that
preacher. Two things are of the first
Importance in order to hope for success.
The first is to make selection of .
preacher who is possessed of qualities
essential to popularity. Having selected
candidate the second step is to work
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time stir
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
rs delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or her
candidate might have been elected by
slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winners
and losers. Hence the importance of
early and persistent activity in securing
ballots. The plan of determining who
the most popular minister is. is given in
order that all may thoroughly under.
stand.

Theerhysiciaus who rushed in on
slight information to try their hands at
Koch's treatment have wisely come to
tho conclusion 10 slacken their pace
until moro is known oil the results ofex.
periments now in progress. Patients,
too, seem to be assisting the physicians
to stick to this conclusion, for patients
on second thought realize that the treat.
ment Is now only in It's experimental
stages.
II would have boon much better II the
experiments OF Prof. Koch had been
secretly conducted to n conclusion which
would have satisfied the medical world
OF their value. There would have been
lets expectation, lea disappointment,
less iumbling in the dark.
Whatever merit tho treatment has
will be known In due time. The world
having waited this long can afford to
wait n little longer rather than jump
into serious blunders.

ScnduSsy REGISTER.
4 number of boss Democrats have
been in secret session TO parcel out the
influence OF the Democratic party in
Ohio for 1891 and 1892. Campbell is to
have 4 denomination, john 4. Mclean
is to have the Senato.ship, Dan. Dalton
is to have fat Office, and the Ohio dele.
CATION at the next national convention
is to be given to Whitney to please the
Standard Oil tnagns.es. Campbell is
welcome to another nomination, but that
is oil he will get. The General Assem-.
bly, to be elected next November will
confer the Senatorship on Republican.
This is about the eiZe OF it, and it may
be added that Ohio will vote for Grover
Cleveland in the national convention,
and all the bosses from Brice down to
Campbell cannot prevent it: Whitney
is rich man, very rich man, but he
will never be nominated for, much less
elected to, the Presidency. Whether
justly or not, the people are suspicious
Of any man whose garments are scented
with oil, and there is growing feeling
that we have had more than our full
share OF moneyed a1istocrats in high
places. The farmers and mechanics and
the common people propose to take II
hand in the selection Of officers hereai-
ter, and in no State is that feeling
stronger than in Ohio.
