came from the depot and struck him
several times knocking him down. NJ.

he stepped in front of him and asked
him if bis name was Swift and why he
wrote the article referring to HIM in
last Sundays paper. Kelley claimed
Swift drew back to strike him when he
thought it was better to strike first He
hit him three or four times, when
his brother separated them. His
brother did not hit Swift. John Ken

same. The article referring to Kelley

Mr. Henderson,s Reply,

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
Please allow me to correct two state
ments that were made in the historical
account of the school question, pub
lished in your paper on Thursday even
ing by a democratic member of the
board of education, who l think ought
to be contented with the victory that
his side won, and not set any of his
opponents in a false lighU when writing
a history of the case.
The first statement is his assertion
that I advanced as a reason against Mr.
O'Keefe that the ability and high attain
ments demanded by the larger High
schools of the country were not needed
here. If any words-of mine produced
this impression it was not my intention
that they should do SO. The following,
I think, will make my position clear.
One thing that surprised nearly all
the candidates who came here to apply
for the place, was the comparative in
significance of our High school. AL
though there are three courses taught in
it, English, Scientific and Classical, not
until recently has the number of pupils
attending been much over one hun
bred.
The matter of salary 1 never lost sight
of. At the meeting at which the vote
was passed-the republican members
making the NOV e-to get new princi-
pal, asked Superintendent Crosby pri-
vately what salary he thought princi-
pal could be got for; he said anywhere
from 81 400 to 81 800. I asked all the
candidates who came to see me what
salary they would want; their prices
ranged from 81 400 to 81 800, as Supt
Crosby had said. Mr. O'Keefe was an

A Reply to Rev Mr. Micou.

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT
In your issue of yesterday Rev Mr.
Micou charges a democratic member of
the board with misstatement regarding Mr.
Hovey. If there is misstatement none re-
grets it more than the writer, and none is
more ready to make fullest amends.
The reverend gentleman states that Mr.
Hovey being in Germany had not time to
hear of the proposed change and write
about it.
1t is, however, a fact, susceptible of
proof which is forthcoming if demanded,
that Mr. Hovey did receive in Germany
copies of the Waterbury papers contain
ing account of proposed change; and it is
equally true that Mr. Hovcy did write to
Waterbury before the meeting of August
A, expressing regret that his name had not
been mentioned in connection with this
change, and also his willingness to be a
candidate if it were not too late. I'm
doubtedly the reverend gentleman is not
aware of this; but it is hardly in accor-
dance with logic TO deny something be-
cause one does not happen to know of it's
truth.
The name of Mr. Hovey was mentioned
at that meeting, as all present will re-
member. 1t may be that it was not for
mally presented. Such course was not
necessary in the case of one SO well known
to all the board. And no one knows bet
ter than the reverend chairman himself
that it matters very little SO far as final
results are concerned.
A DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF THE BOARD
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1891-11-14

Exception. He said he had been getting
So, $50 and could not come for less than
So, 900. That became one of my reasons
for not voting for him. I argued that
the man should come down to the price
that his services would be worth to the
school at the present time, and that we
should not exalt the school in our i'm
aglnations to fit the man. The splendid
prospect of our High school becoming
great and important in the near future
was the chief attraction that it possessed
for most of the candidates. They ex-
pected that the salary would be in
creased as the school came up. In my
argument there was not a word in favor
of mediocrity of talent, far less an open
declaration that Mr. O'Keefe was too
good a man.
The second statement is his assertion
that offered to the board resolution
deprecating Mr. Hovey's manner of deal
ing with pupils as calculated to dis
courage them in the prosecution of their
studies, and requesting that the board
require that all cause for such COM
plant should cease for the future. At
| the meeting of the committee of which
I was member, who's duty it was to
nominate candidates, I suggested Me
Hovey's name; at the same time, how
ever, I reminded the other members of
the committee that it was generally be-
lieved that Mr. Hovey aspired to posi-
ton in college. and we did not know
what change his years study in Ger
many, where he then was, would make
in him. AS we did not have formal
application from him we did not con-
slider him a candidate; but his name
having been mentioned, each of the
other two members said of him that
they had some fault to find with his
manner of dealing with the pupils, a
fault of which they said they believed
him to be unconscious, but of which
they wished he might be told. They
thought it would be more proper for the
board to direct Supt Crosby to speak
to him about it; but it was a personal
matter, or nearly SO, with both of them
and they did not like to bring it up.
then said that l would do it. At the
next meeting of the board I referred to
it as matter on which some action
might have to be taken, but left it fol-
someone else so propose what that
action should be. No motion was made
Rev Father Mulcahy stoutly protested
against any action being taken which
go on the minutes, injurious to MI
Hovey. The end of it was that Supt
Crosby was requested by the members
of the board to tell Mr. Hovey of his
fault I made a statement similar tt
this at the board meeting on the 3rC
inst. JOHN HENDERSON, JR.
