prlsingly few changes made this time.
There were over sixty contests, aud
only eighteen of them resulted in
the appointment of new men. The
action of the Board of Education in
handing down the appointments
nearly three weeks earlier than ever
before tends to show that Atty Gen

nomination, as charged him by his
opponents.
