King was going to say "by the Eternal" or
perhaps something more forcible, for he
changed the expression entirely. II am
going to say it. but we have a Board of
Education who is Republican, and yet

should have Board of Education like that.
Now, MIR. Chairman. don't know that I
have anything more to say. l have only
this to say, that l move this resolution

Mr.. King sat down and perfect silence
ensued for a well-defined instant, marked
by distinct shudder of the great building.
The members of the board looked at each
other and seemed each of them to divine
by instinct what it was-that Superintend-

Mr.. King then nominated his candidate
Charles Sumner Young. and he was elected
by the same vote, to the astonishment
even of Mr.. King.
Mr.. Young, who was present during all
this time, shaking hands with the mem

very unhappy during the period that ht
was being championed by Mr.. King, now
departed-silently and swiftly.
Several members of the Grand jury
Messrs Sonntag, Leventrett, Hammer
smith, Wiley and Clinch-were before the
board at the opening of the session with a
number of recommendations for ordi

Mr.. Sonntag did the talking. He stated
