TWo DTFFERENT pENIALs.

The following denials have reference
to the fight in the Twelfth ward be-
tween DR.. Thomas A. Hitch and George
G. Rommell for a place on the Board of
Public Education. Rommell belongs to
the Montgomery or majority faction Of
Oliyet Presbyterian Church, and this
fact led to the widespread rumor that
the minority Of the church supported
DR.. Hitch, which is undoubtedly true,
although the doctor denies thai he was
brought out by them:
Editor Evening Journalism: In
the issue CT your paper Of the
18th instant under the heading
"Church Row in Politics." we, the un-
dersigned, have to say in reference to
the alleged charges against us in the
matter of inducing DR.. Thomas A.
Hitch to enter the contest for The school
board that we mus. emphatcally deny
the charge and denounce the whole as
a base falsehood on the part of the
originator. Respectfully.
FRED l.. BUCBMASTER,
No 311 BrOome street.
THOMAS r. CURLETT,
\ No. 400 West Fourth street.
Editor Evening Journal-Sir: I wish
to state to the person or persons who
wrote the article in your issue Of Sat
'urday last charging me with being a
candidate brought out by any person
other than members of my own party
for member of the Board of Education,
that it is an Infamous falsehood and in
correct in every particular.
Respectfully.
THOMAS A HITCH.
