SRI notice in the report or the acton
Of the Democratic Committee Of the city
Il Manchester. published in the Dlspatch
OF Scptenb Der 18th the following:
"OL motion o. Mr.. Cooling, a COMMIT,
tee was apI Cintod to request the Electoral
Beard TO dispense with the services OF
Mir Harry Jcucl, W no has been appoint h
one OF the Judges j.. the Third ward, be-
cause Mr.. Tenell has recently joined the
boiling Democrats.
Mr.. Cooling either questions the intcg-
rity OF Mr.. Tenel as judge or election
az proposes bs his rt-y4u.on, ailitof I'D"
hy the committee. that the commute"
must entirely control the election in Man
chester. ana voters differing in ,p4noh
must not be allowed any repr ssantauJn lh
order TO have satisfactory yes ITS. .
Mr. Ter Ell, VINO ia a builder by occu-
patton, was seen last night 10y a llme
reporter and asked about the aUaW- ne
treated the matter more IN the lbnt oI a.
joke than anything else, and said II had
not disturbed him at all
The fact is he said, that my resis-
nation was paced in the hands OF Mr;
Dick Robertson. secretary or the Electoral
Board. two weeks ago. j NE committee jlu
net know this, and consequently display 81
their ignorance by the action they TOOK.
l was APPOINTED TO serve for two years,
that / could TCt be removed by the board
unless charges were preferred against me.
The committee evidently did not Know
this.
CAREFUL STUDY.
Il did not arrive at the opinion that
the gold standard was the only salvation
Of the wCrkingman until after more than
month Of careful study. For weeks ar
ter the Chicago Convention l did not know
how 1 stood. but ! proceeded 70 enlighten
myself as rapidly as possible. I read the
history Of this and other countries formed
my opinion. and now nothing that the
free sIlverites can say can make me
change.
Il can't see how II would benefit me-"
continued Mr.. Tenel. If the volume Of
money is increased and its purchasing
power corr csTordirgly diminished, for !
know that wages are the last things
which are increased. ami free hilver must
be disastrous 10 all wOrMngmen- As
soon as ! had fully formed my opinion /
sent I'm my resgratiCn as a judge Of cleo
ton. as ] did not think ] could c0nscicn-
tiously hold the position. differing so radi-
cally from the silver DcmOcrlts. I pre-
sumo that II Will be promptly accepted
when the Electoral Board meets"
Mr.. Tenell Is a young man, with a
pleasant honest face. His manner I'M
spires confidence at once. and his stand
ing in Manchester is one OF which any man
could be proud. hence the desire ~ the
committee 10 get rid OF him is somewhat
difficult to explain.
