signed or circulated petitions are ig-
norant. Can they not or do they not
act intelligently? Who has deceived
them? Who have they deceived?
What questionable or unjustifiable
means have they used? Who dares
accuse these people of any of these
things or say that their characters
are not above reproach? For myself, i
have circulated no petitions, but L
have supported the measure and am
willing to be held accountable for
every statement l have made. / have
presented both sides fairly: both the
advantages and the costs of the
school. 1T is notorious fact that
the most violent opposers of the school
have not followed this plan.
Do the opponents of the school want
a chance to vote for it? Signing the
petition has the same effect and their
favor can be identified. DO they want
to vote against it? Refusing to sign
is just as effective. Do they want
time to convince themselves that
they are in the wrong? Pray, how
long will it take in the case of some,
| especially? They cannot consistently
ask for this time and do not do so only
for the purpose of defeating the
school. Friends of the school can con-
sistently ask for time to present the
matter to the few who are as yet un-
decided, but they know that it would
postpone the school for year if not
entirely defeat it. They know that
if the object of delay as the PROPOSE
tion first came from the most violent
opponents of the measure.
Taxpayers in one part of the county
have been told that the school will
add from So to $40 to their taxes on
each quarter section.
Do the enemies of the school want
''unjustifiable'' falsehood or do they
seek further time to- resort to other
questionable means?" Will they do
it? Which?
PrepOSterouS as this yarn was, there
were few who actually believed it
before investigating. Three dollars
per quarter means gross sum of ten
thousand eight hundred dollars for
the county. That is enough to sup
! port the school for eight or ten years
and is two-thirds the sum required
for our 10 district schools. What
would ten dollars per quarter do? The
person who made this calculation evil
IDENTIFY set his decimal point one place
to the right, making the result ten
times as large as it should be. Thirty
to one hundred cents per quarter or 3
to 10 dimes would have been much
more reasonable. 1t was great blum
der or a cunning, dishonest attempt
/ to make figures lie. L am sorry L cam
not fix the responsibility for it and
1 am certain we should not extend the
time for that kind of work
/ Friends of the measure cannot af-
! ford to abandon it at this time. That
would, indeed, ''disarm" themselves
and encourage the opposition. They
! can afford to be miSrepreSented and
take all risks of litigation if the
school may be established as it will
soon vindicate their judgment and
| justify their promises of its utility.
Bring in your petitions and let us
see how many friends the school has
and who they are. As one of them /
shall not abandon the petitions, the
school nor the scholars nor relax my
efforts in their behalf as long as there
is hope of success and this, L believe,
we have. Respectfully,
A. S. PEACOCK.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS.
Requircd-Miss Foster
Elected II Teacher.

There was q special meeting of the
School Board held in its rooms. City
Hall square, yesterday afternoon at /
o'clock. The president, Colonel w. ~.
S. Taylor, presided, and fourteen men,
bers of the board were present.
y communication was read from the
clerk OF the Councils requesting an csti-
mate from the board as to the amount
needed for school purposes during the
ensuing fiscal year, from July 1st, 1897.
to June 30th. 1898. The secretary OF the
board was instructed to ask for $50, 900.
appcndinS the statement that should the
sum be cut down, 4 shorter school term
than ten months would be necessitated.
The postponed election of Il teacher
for the Fourth ward school was then
taken up. The candidates were Miss
Foster and Miss Carroll, and the ballot
resulted in the election OF Miss Foster
by 4 vote OF S to 6.
The application OF Miss Lucy G..
Keeling and the nomination of Miss
Cannon for the position of substitute
teacher precipitated general discus
sion of the necessary qualifications of
substitutes.
Mr.. Ruftin held that it was the sense
of the board that wherever possible
vacancies in the position Of teacher
should be filled by substitutes. they
should have all the qualifications re-
quired of the regular teachers.
Mr. Carroll thought that citizens of
Norfolk who have been educated for
teachers should be given preference
over outsiders. He seriously questioned
the equality Of the examination and
consequent value of the certificates of
the county board as compared with that
of the city.
Superintendent Dobie who was pres
ent. said he desired to explain that his
views on the subject referred 10 by
MI Carroll, had never been given out
for publication. although they had APP
pcarcd in that light. without his CON
sent.
On motion of Mr.. Rufiin the election
Of substitute was postponed, and the
board adjourned

THE GENERAL SITuATION.

HI NifsN EftAL SITUATION.
After this follows Il number of press
clippings and other matter showing the
general situation in the district during
the campaign, especially those features
which rendered the Congressional fight
so complicated; the Dcyer element and
the anti-Lamb faction; the domination
of Mr.. Whaley in spite or assurances
given Republican leaders that no gold
Democrat would be put up: and various
other discordant and diversified ele-
ments tending to confuse and befuddle
not only the ignorant voter. but even
the more intelligent citizen, rendering
choice OF Congressional candidates n
difficult thing, though the general mass
es were fixed IN their purposes so far
as the Presidential candidates were con-
cerned.
In this connection Mr. Young quotes
from communication of Colonel Lamb.
in which the latter, after summing up
the voting strength of the district, uses
this language:
"Recognizing these facts. Mr. Hanna.
chairman of the National Republican
Executive committee. promised me that
all opposition to the regular nominee
should be withdrawn. Mr.. ingalls,
promised me that there should be no
sound money candidate put up in this
district, which. beyond all others, be-
longed to the Republican party"
Commenting on this, in his answer.
Mr.. Young says:
That the views of your partisans on
this subject We're sound. as to the effect
of Mr.. Whaley's nomination as n gold
Democrat on your candidacy. is shown
by the result. for as q matter of fact
many Republicans voted for Mr.. Wha-
ley. and few Democrats. even of those
whose views upon the financial question
caused them to be known as gold Dem
ocrats, voted against me. In word
there were arrayed against you In this
election the disaffected element of your
own party. and q practically solid Dem
ocratic party. the result of which was
vote for anyone for Congress, many
voted for me and the Mckinley and
Hobart electors. and many voted for
MIR. .Whaley and the Republican cleo
tors."
