DIR. nnlhnrh,s statement.

The following communication APP
peered in tie News Monday morning.
To the Editor of the Morning News
Sir; Lest my silence on tho subject
should be construed as moaning that |
take seriously the mention that has
been mado by my friends and the news
papers Of this vicinity of my candidacy
for the episc0pate OF the Methodist
Church, | wish to say that not for one
moment have | entertained the remotest
idea that my name would ho even men
toned as among the two, or at most
four out of the thousands Of ministers
of our church, who would be elected
to that high office at this General Con
ference Any way, such u thing as
being candidate, in tho ordinary ac-
ceptation of that term, for that or any
other office in the church, Is repugnant
to my feelings, and high treason against
not only my convictions, but the in
creasing sentiment Of the church on
the subject of ecclesiastical politics
| do certainly appreciate the kindly
and complimentary things WHICH are
being said, and especially the extraor-
dinary kindness of my brethren of the
ministry who have chosen me to repre-
sent them; but l only ask to be per
mitted to dwell among mine own breth-
ren, and account it the highest honor
to be one of them and that l may re-
turn TO make better proof of my min
istry than ever | have done, in as
delightful a fellowship as has ever fal
len TO my lot, and in Grace Church,
than which no man could desire a bet
ter field or higher honor.
Yours faithfully,
