instead OF the elements of strength and

true remedy for all nervous troubles.

POLITICS AMONG THE Pupils.

The pupils OF the western high School
on street, between Thirty second and
Thirty-Jhird streets, have been conducting
mock Presidential campaign for the past
week. and after several speeches from the
advocates OF the Republican and Democratic
sides the debate closed this morning at
10 o'clock.
The Presldentia electors have been named
and the vote OF the pupils will be given
tomorrow morning and the result declared
later in the day.
The greatest interest has been taken in
this campaign by the pupils. ana they have
persistently studied the great questions
WuICl nave occupied the close attention
of the American people for six months.
The young ladies took part in the pro-
ceedings and advanced particularly strong
arguments for their sides.
There are about go pupils in the school.
and they are divided into sections For
every ten pupils an elector was given.
Thirteen States are represented in the
contest The campaign began last Mon
day, and every morning speeches were
made III the Curtis Hall in the presence
of the entire school for an hour or two
This morning the arguments were opened
by discussion OF the gold side by Regi-
maid Lewis and closed by j. H. Petty, a
son of Auditor Petty of the District

when prices were higher. They attacked
the Chicago platform because it favored

in Chicago during the railroad strike.
The Democratic issues were advocated by
Herbert Solyum and Miss Annie Goebel
Both Claimed that the government debt had
appreciated because gold had appreciated,
and hence the United States government
should not pay its debts in gold. They
claimed that this was the cause of the low
prices, etc. They argued for the pre-
servation of the Chicago platform Ind made
good speeches. A. L. Berry, in short talk,
closed for gold. and the campaig n which has
been thoroughly agitated for week ended.
Miss Mamie Kidder, who is the editor
of The Western, the school magazine, made
the first speech OF the campaign. and she
defended the single standard. Miss Annie
Goebel spoke first for free silver.
All the pupils will come prepared in the
morning to cast their votes, and then the
announcement of their choice for the next

ASSIGNEE CAN GO AHEAD
Decision of Judge Cox in the BO-
teller Injunction Case.
Creditors VIII BE Paid as Soon as
Enough Money Is on Hand.
The Affidavits.

Judge Cox this morning refused to allow
the injunction against Lewis & Denham ds-
sgnec of the firm OF John W. Boteler Il
Son, to stand.
He did tuIs after listening to the answer
of Mt. bennam, in which II is shown that
Frank NJ. BOteler never consented TO any
suit against Mr.. Denham, and always re
garded his duties properly performed.
Frank Buueler III an AFFIDAVIT supports
tits assertion and Mr.. Dcnham says lie has
sold the greater part of the stock at sums
ranging from 20 per cent off TO 33 l-3 per
cent OH ana then later 90 per cent off. but
tits was always from the original selling
prices.
J. ". Botelcr claimed that the assignee
was diSpusug of the material at a ruinuus
lusss and in his original petition asked the
court to rest rain MIR. Denham from selling
the stock and to close up the assignment
He rccited that Mr.. Denham had adver-
tised the remainder OF the stock at %
cents on the dollar, Notwithstanding his
written protest. He wanted Dcnham re-
moved and compelled TO render an ac-
counting.
Mr.. Botelcr had made his son a party
OF the petition, but the latter denied any
kno wledge of it, and Mr.. Denhan con
tended that the prices received for the
goods were not unduly low, but were ex-
cellent and were obtained only after un-
usual efforts made by him to promote
them.
He says he was for sixteen years with the
firm, and has done the best for its ill.,
terests, aud though he has not been required
to render an accounting, his books have at
all times been open for inspection. He de-
nies that there is money oil hand sufficient
10 liquidate the Indebtedness for the firm.
and says Mr.. Boteler has no right to inter
neddle or interfere in the proper winding
up of the business.
1t is alleged that he employed Mr..
Boteler to assist him, but the latter by
his arbitrary conduct and diotatorial
manner and attempted assumption OF the
control of the business has interfered with
the assignee and the employees. He says
that the assignment has been admins
tered so long that creditors are impatient
and he desires to close out the business and
pay the creditors whose claims amount
to $29,995. Twenty-nine of these he
has compromised with at 25 cents on the
dollar.
The original indebtedness is stated as
S35, ,474 20, and he states that now there
remains to be paid S5,4TS. 80, and that
there is on hand So, $40 90.

straining order previously ssued, and Mr..
Denham is free 10 sell the goods at the
