Daniel; was requested to appoint a
committee to investigate the rumor3
that a young Hebrew, who had united
with that congregation has been at
tackled and beaten by members of his
race. From the expressions OF opin-
ion, it is evident that the men OF the
First Church will stand by their con-
vert to the last.

ito followed. In which Dinitz was

The result OF the election in Ken

was chosen governor by a large ma
jority, demonstrates that the people
of that State are worn out with the
ringing in OF the Goebel murder as
factor or issue in Kentucky politics
and to show their disapproval they
have rebuked the Democrats by elect
ing Republican governor and have
also elected almost enough Repabii-
AN assem5lsnante give that party

Beckham, who has already been
nominated for the Senate, isin grave
danger OF failing of election.
