The sandyston Matters.

Inasmuch as considerable mention has
been made of the SandystOn church, pOliti-
cal, trouble in the papers, by correspond
ents, but no comprehensive statement of
the real difficulty given we afford space
for full exposition of the matter. Oppor-
tunity was also offered the ministerial
party, If they had anything to say to do 50,
but this offer was promptly declined. The
controversy has outgrown the narrow
limits of a personal, and become a church,
and community matter, and therefore Of
such general interest that we feel fully
justified in allowing the light to be turned
on. ED. Press

and drafted rules for the government of the
primary election to be held on Wednesday,
April 1. At this time will occur the regular
nomination of candidates for the various
county Offices and also the selection of a
Congressman for the Sixth district, for 1t is
conceded by all that Henry county must set
tie the question. In view of the fact that the
congressional contest is so hotly contested.
the committee took extra precautions to ar
range matters so that fair election In every
way may result The committee decided to
use the Australian election method except
that no ballots shall be burned, and that
pencils shall be used in the booths, the
names OF those to be voted for TO be left un-
marked on the tickets and all others
scratched off, In accordance with instruc-
tions of the county mass convention, few
weeks ago, 1t was decided TO accord to the
congressional candidate receiving the highest
number of votes In the county the vote of
the county delegation to the congressional
convention. The following resolution was
passed and made part of the regulation
governing the election:
'Inasmuch as there Is an animated contest
in this county for the congressional nomina-
ton, each election board shall be composed
of an equal number of the friends of each
congressional candidate; or, If in any case
watchers on the part of the candidate not

SENATOR DAvIs's STATE.
Mckinley Likely to Have Most, III Not
ALL Of the Delegates.

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., March 2S.-The Re-
publicans of Minnesota will meet in State
convention in this city tomorrow to elect
four delegates at large to the st. Louis con-
vention. majority of the delegates are
already here, and but one name is mentioned.
The delegates from the Duluth district are
instructed for Davis. but they are not talk
ing anti-McKinley. and 1t is not believed that
c. ID. Daviss name will be mentioned to-
morrow. The four delegates at large will
certainly be instructed for Mckinley. The
contest over who shall go. to st. Louis Is
sharp. from the fact that those most prom
inent are men who have stood for Davis
and who have only joined the Mckinley col
umn when they saw the trend of the move
ment. There is little talk about the plat
form. One of the main contests that is oc-
cupying the attention of the delegates is
between L. Il. Walker and r. @. Evans.
both of Minneapolis, for the position OF dele
gate at large. Evans is exceedingly popular,
but the fact that he Is not a pronounced
Mckinley man is telling against him, and
some of his warmest friends are wagng
war against him because of their enthusi-
asm for Mckinley.
