WASHINGTON, Feb. IA statement
made in local morning paper in a special
dispatch from Atlanta concerning the
wishes of the President as to the character
Of the delegates he would prefer to have go
to the Minneapolis convention was em-
phatically denied at the white house to-day.
IL was alleged that Il. II. Shiel of Indian,
apolis, a personal friend of the President
in an interview published in Atlanta is
reported to have given expression to the
Presidents desires in this regard in such
way that it was inferred generally that he
was speaking on behalf of President Harri-
son.
NO NEGROES WANTED.
The understanding, according to Mr..
Shells statement was that the President
wanted the republican delegation to be
composed of white business men. aud that
no federal Office holders should be sent to
the convention. This statement was shown
to Private Secretary HaIford this after
noon and he said that Of course there was
no authority for Ir. "Mr. Shiel has not
seen the President for a long time" said
Secretary Halford, land did not see him
before he went south, and from what
know of him, am quite sure that he is not

the rece line. no one who knows the Presi-
dent and is at all familiar with his attitude
toward the colored people would for
moment suppose that he ever entertained
the idea of discriminating against them.
THE OFFICE HOLDERS.
with respect to sending Office holders TO
the national convention as delegates the
President has never made any utterance ON
the subject. 1t is manifest that such a
question must be left to the good Judgment
of the party an1 that no iron-clad rule
could be adopted. Republicans everywhere
will recognize the propriety Of leav-
ing people free to send TO the convention
those who would best represent the sentiment
and desires of the party. And, moreover,
/ have just received letter from Atlanta
saying that Mr.. Shiel never made the state
ment imputed TO him, but what he did say
was that in his own personal Judgment it
would be we'll to have the delegation COM
posed mostly of business men, and this
statement was made solely on his own au-
thority.'

work. Our church is composed of
excellent Christian people from the

The reports to the General Assem-

ions were the result of elaborate
correspondence, in which the first
men of the Church expressed their
views.
Your acute mind sees some grave
difficulties and manifest absurdities
in the provisions of that paper. But
(as you have entered the sphere of
ecclesiastical controversy will you
not apply your powers to the eluci-
dation of some of these questions?
l. Which is preferable (from your
point of view licensure on easy
trials or licensure on no trial at all?
=. What is the point in licensing
a man to "try his gifts" after he has
been trying them already by author
ity of Presbytery?
3. What is the fairness in not
giving a man a chance to try his
gifts (if you adhere to the letter of
our system), until he has been
through long and expensive course
of training?
4. What is the use of distinc-
ton between licensure and ordina-
ton, when the standard is the same
for both, logically compelling ordi-
nation to follow licensure?
8. Which is better, to find out
failures before or after ordination?
When license can be revoked by mere
resolution, or when office can only
be taken away by process?
6. Which is better, to let imper-
fectly prepared men into the minis

their gifts in preaching, TO give them
a stimulus to prepare for fuller use.

Z. Finally, what is the harm in
our having at command a coptin-
gent of "light-armed soldiery" to
fill temporary vacancies, and act as
scouts and supports to the hop
lites?"
