1.-TWO Souls With a Single Thought"
Last week the JOURNAL stated that it
had
-ascertained that SOL Pearre," himself
"a delegate on the floor" wrote the Normal
Schoo) resolution, introduced it, made Il
speech i'm its favor, and \ COM
plcted his work by himself moving the
adoption of the resolution.
Against this statement comes the fol-
lowing:

To the MINING JOURNAL.
observe in your issue of the 9Th inst. that
you reflect upon the authenticity of the
statement that at the Republican convention
| moved the adoption of the resolution
pledging the Allegany members of the Legis
lature to use their best offices in securing an
increased appropriation for Normal School
No. ,.
have no desire to force my personality
into public notice, but it is only fair that the
truth be told, in view Of your published
transformation.
The facts are these:
Col. Pearre offered the resolution and it
was passed up to the Secretary Immediately
il was read by that officer was recognized
by the chairman, Mr.. Duncan Sinclair, and
moved the adoption by reclamation of the
resolution.
My motion was promptly seconded, put
and carried.
This was my first official act as Il delegate
to any convention.
AS to the eXactness of the statement
have made | refer you to Chairman Sinclair.
You will please do me the kindness to in
sert this explanation in your next issue.

The JOURNAL, feeling benevolently to-
ward both claimants, retires "hoping
for the best"
Meanwhile, let us ask with respectful
pretensiOn-
OF what popular concern is the noble fact
That this was Mr.. Robinson's first public act
On the floor of political convention?
