THE FIRST CHURCH AND ITS PAS
TOR.
A Decisive Vote Last Monday Night
Rev. Holmes Wins in the Contest

For several months, efforts have
been made at the First Baptist Church
to retire the pastor. At the church.
meeting in June, the committee ap-
pointed recommended the appoint
ment of an assistant pastor. Rev. Jas.
II Holmes feeble condition was COM
mented upon.
Much ill-feeling was created by the
action of the church in tabling the re-
port of the committee. and scene
took place a few Sunday mornings ago.
Those in favor of q change argued in
favor of women voting and severely
criticized the action OF the church in
! Tos permitting them so to do.
The matter came up again in the
church-meeting last Monday night
and the recommend ations of the com
mittee was rejected and dismissed by
the decisive vote of LII to "a.
Rev. Holmes ruled that according
to the action OF the church, women
could vote on all questions relating
to the pastor. AS his opponents were
in favor of this view of the situation
they were completely non-plussed
when they found the females votinI
against them.

preach himself and has entered &C

HOW REPRESENTATIVE

The Colored People Loyal
Throughout.
A SINGULAR CONDITION
A SINGULAR CONDITION
In The Buckeye State.

Being In Cleveland during the en-
tire campaign which eliminated on
the 18th ult = watched and studied
with great deal of interest the situ-
alton as regards the colored legislative
candidates. One 3 candidate for state
Senator. the other q candidate for
Representative by name of II. G. Smith
and w. h. Clifford, respectively.
Before proceed further, 1 desire to
say that have no personal feeling in
the matter as both gentlemen are
comparatively strangers to me. am
therefore in a position to give an un-
biased opinion as to the causes and
effects concerning particularly the
/ above named gentlemen. As far as
tho Race candidate for State Senator
| Mr. Smith is concerned, he was op-
posed in his canvass, by the following
elements and for reasons which viii
give. All the county officials who de-
sire the repeal of law placing them
upon salaries which Mr.. Smith Was
most instrumental in passing at the
last session of the Assembly. All the
Street Railways OF the city who de-
sired as members OF the Assembly
from this county, men who would
work against any effort to repeal law
enacted by the last Assembly, and
known as the fifty year franchise Law, f,
which Mr.. Smith opposed; and all the
Federal ofhce-seekers in this city and
lcounty, who, desirous OF being on the
winning side combined with the inter
ests mentioned above In backing
twelve out of thirty-nine candidates
for the Assembly.
1t is hardly necessary TO add that
, this slate with few exceptions was auc-
eessful because of combined force
back of it. This combination COM
> manded seemingly an unlimited
amount of capital. II enabled the
county to control every Republican
paper in the county, to push the inter.
est of its State Candidates by means
J. OF full sheet-posters with which II
q placarded the city and county and cir.
cular letters, postal cards and almos
