PALMER NAILS A LIE.
The General Never Said He Would
Support w. j. Bryan.

HOWELL. Mich. Dec. 1.-THE following
from Hon. John NJ. Palmer, who is at the
head of the sound money Democrats. was
written in answer to an alleged interview
asserting that he had come out in favor
of William j. Bryan. The letter, which is
dated Springfield, ILL.,. Dec. 4. and is ad-
dressed to Isaac s. Bush. says:
My Dear Sir-I have read your favor of
Dec. /. 1899. ! have never seen the inter-
view to which you allude and do not know
what il contains, but q real interview took
place when l was in Washington recently,
In which / said that Mr.. Bryan would be
nominated by the Democratic convention
and that with him as it's candidate the
free-silver issue could not be concealed.
and that / would not support him, and
did not predict his election. L find that
the free-silver Republicans entertain the
same views that 90: That on the issue OF
Is to 1 Mr.. Bryan's opinions are known
and cannot be CLOSED over. Bryan will lose
Illinois by 100000 votes. in my opinion. No

asked Mr.. Ellis.
'In ten or fifteen" replied Judge Hargis.
''I will give you list Of them"
Judge, will you give US a table of them
also?' asked Mr.. Humphrey. the Repub-
lican counsel
"No. 1 will not" replied Judge Hargis
They are here In this record which you
seem to scorn so much ! nearly killed

phrey. laughing. 'is not large enough TO
permit a division"
Then II isn't because the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad can't pay It." was the
reply.
When Judge Hargis said that in one pre-
cinct the officers had failed to make g
proper return. and when they later went 10
the county board and offered TO make u
return they were not permitted to do So.
Mr.. Ellis asked IL he had understood the
statement clearly. and Judge Hargis re-
peated 1t.
What precinct was that, judge?" asked
Mr.. Humphreys.
Never mind: am busy and can't stop"
II just wanted to know what precinct IL
was"
''I can't stop to tell you and I wish you
would refrain from interrupting me-
Next he took up the right of county cleo
ton boards to make supplementary re-
turns, arguing that they should be per-
mitted. IF your honors will permit" said
Judge Hargis, 81 will close by reading, as
1 am so tired that / have not sufficient
energy left to give their dues TO this crowd

Republican attorneys.) 1t would take me
a week to read their title clear to mansions

Judge Hargis concluded at 12:1s having
spoken for three hours.
The Republican attorneys. all of whom
came from Louisville, were aroused by the
assertion made by Judge Hargis that in the
city Of Louisville writs of mandamus were
issued In ten to fifteen precincts, and
this afternoon they took the record of al
legged frauds in Louisville, prepared by the
Democrats. and went through 1t. At the
close of their work they announced: Judge
Hargis says his record shows ten to fifteen
writs Of mandamus were issued. We claim
that the Democratic record shows but three
such cases.

STUDENTS QUIT SCHOOL
THEY CHARGE A PROFESSOR WITH
BEING FAR TOO LIBERAL.
Trouble I'm Boston University Over
the Teachings of Hfnck-
ley G. Mitchell.

BOSTON, Dec. THE theological depart
ment of Boston University has been shaken
not little by the withdrawal Of nine stu
dents because they considered the teach
ings of Prof Hinckley G. Mitchell to Re
| un-Methodistic and too liberal. These same
students have gone to Drew Theological
Seminary, at Madison. n. j. 1t was claimed
that protests have been made for a year
past, the protestants being Of the opinion
that Professor Mitchell ought either 10
modify his opinions or resign from the
faculty of the theological school. The move
ment eliminated in q petition TO the trustees
against the appointment of the professor
when his term expired this month
The matter was. Of course. known TO the
body OF students who agreed with the pro-
fessors teachings. and they sent in G couu-
ter petition for the professors retention.
The trustees heard both sides and decided
to reappoint Professor Mitchell for a new
term Of FIVE years. The nine students then
laid their case before the board Of bishops
OF the NJ. z. Church, with the result that
the faculty of Boston University notified
the protestants that they must cease further
agitation, whereupon they severed their con-
nect!on with the institution.
At the head of the agitation was Rev. W.
". Schenk, who was supplying the pulpit
at church In Franklin. Mass. He resigned
the pastorate and publicly explained his
reasons. as follows: Coming from the
West to Boston University School Of Theol-
ogy year ago, was shocked to find the
most rabid rationalism being taught as Old
Testament exercises. under cover of lead
ing Universalist school Believing 1t my
duty. not alone personal matter but in
the interest of Methodtsm at large. de-
manded proof, which was not forthcoming
Coming TO Messianic prophecy. only half
truth was taught. Further on Jesus Christ
was authority on Old Testament scripture.
The miraculous conception was set aside
and the atoning blood made nonessential"
President Warren, Of the university, con-
firms the story of the dissensions and saws
the matter cannot be further considered
until the next meeting of the bishops. Pro-
fessor Mitchell declines to be interviewed.
