Mr.. Morris Knowles. of Lawrence, the
patriarch of the party, is over so years old,
but he still retains his vigor, and is very
fond of travelling. His business is build
ing and contracting, in which he is en-
gagged with his son. For many years he
lived at Lowell, Mass, and erected many
OF the large mills there. Now he is build
ing mills in Lawrence. In 1851 he was q
member of the Massachusetts, legislature,
when Charles Summer was elected United
States senator. 81 was elected as a whig,"
said Mr.. Knowles, land so / could not
vote for Mr.. Sumner. He was elected by
a coalition between the Free-soilers and
Democrats. The Free-soilers voted for
Boutwell, for governor, and in return the
Democrats gave their ballots for Sumner
for the Senate.
"The contest in the legislature was an
exciting one On January IA, 1851, the house
ing 3Sl votes, with l9l necessary toa
choice. Sumner received 1s6; Robert C.
Winthrop, the Wing candidate, 1877: scat
tering, 2S; blank, 2. A week later of the
thirty-eight votes in the senate Sumner
received q, Winthrop IA, and H. w.
Bishop !, and Sumner was chosen by the
senate. The contest in the house was con-
tinued for three months. In February
abandon him whenever they could elect
another candidate, but in April the dead
lock was broken and he was chosen by
bare majority.
II was not sorry afterward, though
Robert c. Winthrop was good man."
The party includes several other notable
men. DIR. Dreher is president of Roanoke
college. one of the flourishing educational
institutions of Virginia. Ii was founded
some thirty-nine years ago, and now num-
bers about 100 students from many states Of
the Union and several foreign countries.
DIR. Dreher said last night: I'VE have
three Japanese, sons of members of the
Imperial cabinet. They have been sent to
America for an education, and they are
certainly very clever men. You would
be surprised to see how quickly they get
ahead in their studies"
DR.. Dreher himself is a cIean-cut, aggres-
sive man, evidently possessed of great
force and executive ability. He is grad
uate of Roanoke, and in 1878, at the age of
81. was chosen as the head of the instltu-
ton. AT that time he was the youngest
college president in the country. His
brother, Mr.. William C. Dreher, of New
York city, also graduate of Roanoke, is
a well-known writer on economic subjects.
Rev. Henry NJ. King, of Providence, is
one of the foremost Baptist clergymen of
America. A New England man by birth
he attended Boudoin college in Maine
the alma mater of Hawthorne and Long
fellow. After going to the Newton theo-
logical seminary, he was for nineteen
years pastor of Boston church. From
there he was called TO the Emmanuel Bap-
fist church of Buffalo, n. Y, an
old and rich parish. While in
Albany he added 10 his fame as a
preacher and writer. Last month he went
TO Providence TO live as pastor of the Uni
versity church. This is the oldest Baptist
church in America, and was founded by
Roger Williams and the other Baptlsts
who settled at Providence in the seven
tenth century. 1t is closely connected
with Brown university, the leading Bap-
fist educational institution of America.
The church building itself is an old-fash-
Toned structure, built more than century
ago-a fine example of New England con-
servatism. The pastor of this church oe-
cupies a singularly conspicuous position
among the Baptists of the country.

nected with the Lehigh Valley railroad.
