Portland, Me-, Aug. 2. The Republi-
cans of the First Congressional district
held their convention here today. After
prellminry business, the name of
Thomns b. Reed was presented to the

reclamation amid much enthusiasm.
Later, Mr.. Reed appeared on the
floor OF tho hall. He was greeted with
dsRfening applause, which prevailed
until be began to speak.
Then some one shouted; Ill
''Iake the platform.
Emo said Mr.. Reed, 'flet mo have

broke into laughter.
Mr.. Reed thBn spoke as follows:
II am very grateful for your con-
tinued. kindness tn mo, and, being IN
Portland, it is not unsuitable for me
to come here and say SO. / have NO
other purpose than thie. A newspaper,

soHooL ELECTION AT CLAYTON.

instatsd as Principal.


instatsd as Principal.
Clayton, Aug. 3.-One of the most
exciting school elections in this dis
trict was held yesterday. r. Y. Wal
lon, private ascretary to Congressman
Handy, and John w. Ennis were the
opposing candidates. Mr.. Wallen won,
receiving 81 votes to ~ for Mr.. Ennis.
The eleotion was special one.
A few days ago the school board.
composed OF Henry Soldiers, A. ii.
Skinner, W. D. Hudson, Republicans,
and A. Seyil and W. F. Clements,
Democrats, met for the purpose OF
elelting a principal AMI teachers for
the ensuing year. w. u. Cooling, who
had been the principal for the last 10
years, waa turned down, receiving only
the votes Of the Democrats, while the
Republicans voted for Prof William
Cooling of Harrington.
Their action ineensad the friends oil
Mr.. Gooding, and they went to work &c
reinstate the former principal, if any
| means could be found to accomplish
| the result. LII looking over the new
school law, they found that a. III.
| Skinner, one OF the Republican mem
bers, could not legally act az a membsl
| of the board. He was elected by the
COMM ssioper, some time last year, tt
| fill the vacancy caused by the resigna
tion of John Barklsy. His successor
should have been sleoted at the annua
school election, few weeks ago. Thu
was not done at that time, BECAUSE thu
comm issioner understood that Mr.
Skinner was elected by them to fill tht
unexpired term of Mr.. Barkley. Tit
comm issioners, on being shown thu
law, called nm election, and IL was helt
Yesterday. The friends of Mr.. Goodint
worked hard, and are very much elatet
over their overwhelming victory.
The school board is now composed
of three Democrats and two Republi
cans, and W. j. Gonding will be re
elected principal. The Republican
are very much dcpressed, and conn laiI
that everything aoems to be agains
them. They say the Democrat
always find some law TO knock then
out when victory is in their grasp.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Having read the article in your issue of
the 18th inst. in relation to an exposition of
the increase of polygamy IL Utah, by Dr.
S. T.. Wishard, / desire to enter protest
against it. While the doctor has spoken
some facts, he has juggled the truth in re-
gard TO others. In the first place, the Nor
mon people are not practicing polygamy as
a religion. but, on the contrary, have re-
nounced it publicly in their ward, state
and general conferences. In the second
place. their missionaries are not preaching
the practice of polygamy among prose-
lytes, but are expressly forbidden by the
church ordinances. under penalty of dis
missal from doing so. While II may be true
that some of the former polygamists are
caring for their plural wives, as the laws
of human righteousness and morality de-
riages except with one wife, and that one
under the jurisdiction of the law which re-
Quires license to marry duly issued and
recorded in each county of the State. What
should man do with his plural wives,
with whom he lived i'm happiness for many
years prior to the manifesto of which he
speaks Does DR. Wishard want them
Surely not Nor any one else. Then, what
shall become of them? TO cast them off
would be infamy; hence their action in
looking after them and caring for them is
ing the anti-Mormon crusade and | assert
that the Mormon people are now living only
the tenets of their revised religion and not
interfering with the social, political or
moral rights of any one; are peaceful, pros
porous and law-abiding citizens, and should,
like the Puritans of old, be privileged the
freedom to worship Cod and not be sub
time to time. II. S. JOSEPH.
