In fact, the police were jojstled and
joshed, pushed and pulled with the

there was no such animal AS the

Hon. ". w. Conway, Mayor OF
Fairmont, thought that the COM
pany OF his charming young daugh-
ter was any protection, he found
himself woefully mistaken, for he
got his the same as the rest.
Early in the evening the Moose
band, wearing red shakos volun.
teered their services and marched
through the principal streets, fol-
lowed by a motley crew Of masQuer-
aders IN every conceivable sort OF

ing that a meeting OF 70 colored
citizens over which Mr.. Thomas
Keller presided had adopted reso-
lutious OF condemnatio OF the &C:
lions OF two colored ministers OF
Fairmont whom they declare are
endeavoring to create u spirit OF
dissension among them.
II was further stated by Mr.. KEEL
Ter to The Times that these minis:
tiers were mixed up in politics and
had accepted money from political
parties which was enough within
itself TO condemn them III the sight
OF any man. Since We are minis
terB in charge OF the two leading

have taken a stand during this
campaign in the interest OF our

meeting and the statement OF Mr..
Keller was directly aimed at us
we therefore take this opportunity
to vindicate ourselves OF the
charges preferred.
For the benefit OF Mr. Keller
