:EIecto n commissioners.

We regret to state that certain designing parties, for reasons in- scrutable, are making an indus trious effort to defeat the appoint. ment of Messrs John Rutherford and T. M. Phillips as county elee- ton commissioners, who were unanimously recommended at the first session Of the County Demo cratic Convention and whose nomin- ation has been certified to by the proper authorities.
 Messrs. Rutherford and Phillips are nquestionably the choice of the Democrats of Jefferson county. As we have before stated, they were unanimously selected by the County Convention on May 14. At the second session of the convention on June 4, when control of it was gained by the Mccoy partisans, not one word was said against the rec ommendat:on of Messrs Rutherford and Phillips. Since their selection there have been four or five sessions of the Democratic County Central Committee, and during and through out that period not one word has ever been urged against the ap- pointment of Messrs Rutherford and Phillips.
 They are therefore the selec- tion of the Democrats of Jefferson county for eommissioners--the selec- ton of the Democratic County Con- vention, the highest party author ity in the county and the creators of the County Central Committee and if Democratic rule means the will of the m0jorty, they are enti- tied to appointment.
 Their appointment is row opposed by a mere cabal of politicians, as against the expressed will Of the people of Jefferson county. Such proceedings are disgusting, out rageous and revolutionary. It is an effort on the part of scheming and designing men, for disreputable pur poses, to thwart the will of the peo- pie and establish themselves as po- litical dietators. Shall we have the rule of the people in Jefferson coun- ty CT the rule of an oigarchy? Shall the Democratic party of Jeff erson county be allowed to select it's commissioners in solemn convention assembled, pr are these important officers to be selected by a mere cabal of scheming and designing men?
 Messrs. Rutherford and Phillips are large property holders and good and true Democrats. They are representative Democrats and citizel in every particular, and are entitled 10 the consideration of their countrymen.
 The State Board of Election Com missioners should stand by the people, as expressed in solemn cons vention assembled, rather than listen to the dictum of cable of designing men. Otherwise they will irnperil the success of the en- tire county and judicial tickets, for there will be hundreds of Democrats who will not turn out on election day if such a disreputable scheme is successfully accomplished.
 There is a limit to all things, and there is point where forebearauce ceases to be a virtue.

IN justice to Mr. Brewster's at torneys h the late contest, it IS to be said to their credit that neither of them held a proxy at the late meeting of the committee to decide the contest. Itis rather remark able condition when the attorneys in ease can act as both Judge and Jury One of Maj McCoy's attorneys held one proxy and another held tpo proxies on the committee to decide the contest, and of course, voted for McCoy's interest every time.

Pope IEO'S ADIEU 10
AMERICAN CATHOLICS
Letter to the Hierarchy of the
Western Continent.
COMMENDS ITS PROGRESS
Faith of the Pontiff in Republican
Cover. ments.
Compromise Urged Between the Lib.
eraI and Conservative Elements
of the Church in America.

Baltimore Dec 29.-It is officially an
nounced that the Pope has addressed let
ter to the Catholic hierarchy in America,
on the condition of the Catholic Church in
this country, and that the letter will be in
the United States about the first OF the
year. A wellknown clergyman of this
city, speaking of the letter. said: This
letter, to which the venerable Pontn has
given much time and thought will, in all
probability, be the last written by him on
the church in America
'The full title of the document is The
Democratic and Liberal Tendencies of the
Church in America
1T is intended to be farewell to the
church in the United States, which has
been an object of special interest and con-
cern to the Pope throughout his entire
pontifcate He will take occasion to COM
mend the church for its spirit of progress
and loyalty to the Holy See. The Pope will
also reiterate the statement that the
church iiourishes best in a country where
church and state, in this country, are
separate, thereby giving more devoted
clergy, and a more loyal and interested
laity
can form of government Coming to the
points at issue between what are konwn as
the liberal and conservative elements
in the church here, he Will strongly urge
moderation and spirit of compromise,
pointing out that the differences between
/ the two elements are of policy only.
THE Pope outlines these differences
which are but little understood by the
laity and which misunderstanding has
caused the impression that the two ele-
ments of the church are at war with each
other on questions of great Importance.
Coming to an exact definition of just
what the democratic and liberal tendencies
of the church in America are. they are
difficult TO define. take it that these dif-
ferences are merely on matters of pniicy
| The liberal element, at the head OF which
are Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ireland,
| Monsignor ]. ]. Keane, now IN Rome, and
Very Rev. Dr. Magnien, of this city. is in
| favor of having the church keep up with
| the spirit of the age, adapting itself to- all
conditions which healthy progress brings.
Even among those composing this ele-
ment there are differences many being un-
willing to go as far as Archbishop Ire
! land. fayoring even a participation TO s me
extent at least in the politics Of the day
! 'The conservative element, which is
headed by Archbishop Corrigan, and has its
greatest strength in the support given 1T
! by the Jesuits. is slow TO agree TO any
| change in matters of the sheerest policy.
While the Pope will counsel moderation
| in the controversy between the two eie-
| ments he will set forth the great advan-
tages in keeping abreast with the times.
