A GORNANDIzIsG MOVE.

The following dispatch has been
sent ont from Washington and is
being published in the West vir-
ginia papers
Il is learned from an aulhorita-
tive source that William X. Hearst.
the Congressman publisher, came
dangerously close running the Ma
tional Committee which was in ses-
sion fast Tuesday. In fact If il had
not been foi the united efforts Of
Senator German, John 4. McGraw,
Of West Virginia, Guffey Of PennsyI
vania and Norman Mack Of New
York, Hearst would have been on
top
Hearst wanted the convention
held at Chicago and the committee
was favorable to that proposition

else, so far as we know, that he bad
speech TO get off or wanted 10
reply to Mr.. Hubbard, yet he has a
doleful tale to relate about the queer
coincidence that took place that day
In Mr.. Dawson having luncheon
party at his house and so many
courses and such fine spread, that
1t took some time 10 serve il, and
thus eptrapped and delayed the
President from getting back prompt
ly to open the afternoon session, so
as to get through with the Hubbard
address and give him time to reply
to il, before the time for adjourn
ment eat precisely FIVE o'clock to
accommodate street car excur-
sion." We are very sorry that Mr..
Mckinney was not invited to that
dinner, but we really had nothing TO
do with the matter The Times
makes another break like this.
The members of the Association
as a rule, and the editor of the
Times is one of the number, did not
know that Mr.. Hubbard was invited
to speak until the morning session
of the day on which he had been
placed on the program - speak in
the afternoon.
In making such very remarka-
BILE statement as the above, the
Times exhibits either reckless re.
gard for the truth or pitiful igno-
rance. We have mailed the editor
of the Times a copy of that pro-
gram, and hope he will post up on
1t, even at this late day.
The most foolish and childish
statement in the Times article is to
the effect that "the officers con-
nected with the arrangement and
carrying out of this program, were
carefully omitted from further con-
sideration when the election of off j.
GERS came off," As the President
was the only one responsible for it,
he can speak for himself and say
that he had already served longer
than anyone else who ever held the
Office. and nosifivelv and n,,hliciv
announced that he would not accept
the Office again, although repeatedly
urged to do so by number of the
prominent members of the Associa-
ton. And yet he was unanimously
elected the Historian of the Associa-
ton, and now holds that Office.
Now, Mr.. Times, will you be good

This power was exercised by the
Christ and his apostles. 1t is SO far
from being offensive to God or man
that the very root or ground of all
magic takes its rise from the Holy
Scriptures, viz, the fear OF God is
the beginning Of all a0isaom, and
charity is the end, The magicians
were the first Christians, for by
their high and excellent knowledge
they knew that the Saviour which
was promised was now born-that
Christ was our Redeemer, Advocate
and Mediator they were the first TO
acknowledge His glory and majesty.
Likewise all the apostles confess the
power of working miracles through
faith in Christ Jesus, and that all
sOiSd0w is to be attained through
Him, for He says, 81 am the life of
the world" II would be we'll If our
clergymen, who arc called spiritual
guides, would know more of spirit
ual things than what they have read
in their books, andif they had some
practical experience in divine in
stead of merely repeating the opin
ions of the divine. Christ and the
prophets and the apostles had mag
zeal powers, acquired less by their
learning than by their holiness
They we're able to heal the sick by

followers would the same, and still
greater ones, but It would be diff

But II anyone who is not a man
