MAKING PREPARATIONS Executive Committee of Christian Endeavor Union Meets. Getting Affairs Shaped for the Con- vention — Committees on Various Matters Appointed. The executive committee of the District Christian Endeavor Union has never held so large and enthusiastic a meeting as the one held last evening in the parlors of the Y. M. C. A. A very large proportion of the societies in the union were represented and much important business transacted. ‘The meeting was called to order promptly at 8 o'clock by Mr. L. A. Conner, jr., presi- dent of the union. Secretary John B. Sleman, jr., called the roll of societies and read the minutes of the last meeting. A report was then receivd from the com- mittee of thirteen, appointed at the Sep- tember meeting of the executive com nit- tee. This report was presented on behalf of the committee by Mr. W. W. Tuckey and was adopted by the executive commit- tee with practically no alterations. ‘The action embodied in the adoption of this report provides for the institution of a press committee, which shall have charge of the dissemination of news through the daily press and be in control of the “En- deavorer,” the official organ of the union. It is to be composed of the following per- sons; John D. Morgan, chairmat Miss Mabel N. Thurston, Miss Bertha G. Davis, R. B. Burnham and H. A. Dumont. A union lookout committee was provided, whose duty it shall be to exercise a watch and care over the rious societies in the union, to maintain a system of intervisita- tion between the societies and to devise ways and means of organizing new socie- ties. The following persons were appointed members of committee: Miles M. Shand, chairman; Miss C. A. Poggensee, C. D. Bulla, J. H. Mahoney, William C. Henry, C, G. Morgan, Miss Grace Johnson, George H. Greer, F. C. Keefer, C. W. Chappel, E. E. Ricks, H. Clyde Grimes, G. F. Muth, Miss Eliza Fawcett, J. W. Pickett and Stanley Finch. The missinary committee, whose duties are to consist in creating increased interest in the cause of missions, is to be composed of ene member from each denomination, who is also to be chairman of a subcom- mittee, consiting of the chairmen of the missionary committees in the societies of that denomination, thereby leaving the mis- stonary work distinctly under denomina- tional control. The members of this com- mittee are as follows: W. B. Robison, chairman; W. H. Ronsaville, Theodore Du- Cc. H. Butler, Mrs. W. Topham, es Florence Shuffle, Susanne Moore and Maud Harper. The music committee, with P. S. Foster as chairman,shaill consist of eight others of the chairman's selectivi, and shall furnish music for all mass meetings and such spe- cial meetings as may be provided for. The good citizensaip and temperance com- mittees were combined, and the following were appointed: A. S. Taylor, chairman; H. C. Metcalf, C. W. Childs, Andrew Wil- son, W. H. Pennell, George A. Birch, Rev. J. E. Fout and 8S. E. Kramer. These committees shall hold position only 8o long as the olicers by whom they were chosen shall continue in office. The board of officers brought forward recommendations to the effect that all the corresponding secretaries in the District be constituted a correspcndence committee, of which the corresponding secretary of the union shall be chairman; that the lst of mass meetings and other data of a like character be published in the form of a book mark; that the chairmen of all union committees and Dr. T. 8. Hamlin and Mr. W. H. Pennell, representing the trustees of the United Society of Christian En- deavor, be made members of the executive committee; that the mass meeting of No- vember 16, which is to be held in the cen- tral part of the city, be a missionary rally, the arrangements tor which should be made by the newly appointed missionary com- mittee acting in conjunction with the offi- cers. M. M. Shand, 8. G. Wise and W. W. Tuckey were appointed to select two mem- bers of the transportation committee of 1895, and reported as their choice Percy 5S. Foster and Norman T, Elliott. These were appointed. S. T. Smith was introduced and made a forcible appeal in behalf of the Y. M. C. A. for aid in the erection of the proposed new building. Arrangements were begun for a reunion of the Cleveland delegates, which will be consummated and announced at a later date. All who are interested in the work at Fort Myer are requested to meet in the Y. M. C. A. rooms next Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The exercises closed with a prayer service. The next mass meeting of the union will be held in the Eastern Presbyterian Church Friday evening, October 19, and the subject under discussion will be the “Rela- tion of the Christian Endeavor Society to the Sunday School.” An open parliament will be conducted by Mr. P. H. Bristow, president of the local Sunday school union, and Dr, J. E. Gilbert will deliver an address on “Sunday School Work.” —_—__ Convicts Forwarded.

OLD MEMBERS LEFT BESIND —_—__.+—___ Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 8, 1894. This is a year of political surprises in Ken- tuck, and there is no telling what may hap- pen. Down in the first district, the Gibral- tar of undefiled democracy, Capt. Stone, who had served his people weil as a representa- tive in Congress, was turned down in order that a new man might have a chance at the public crib. When the primary was held three aspirants were on the altar, and John K. Hendrick was chosen to lead the unterrified to victory or death. The fight was het from start to finish, and as a result, there remains an ill feeling in the ranks which will prevent a full vote for the nomi- nee. The republicans and populists have named B. C. Keys to make the race, but there is a lack of harmony in the tents of the former, so Mr. Keys will not get the full republican vote. Two years ago the district gave Stone (dem.) 15,295; Deboe (ep.), 8,438; Smith (pro.), 488; Keys (pop.), 4,686; Stone over all, 1,733. There are thir- teen counties in the district, and a slight change in each of them against the demo- cratic candidate would give the victory to Keys. The greatest danger now besetting the democrats of this state is general apathy and a desire on the part of many to break away from the domination of party. The citizens of that portion of the state are old-fashioned farmers, and it may be that they will vote as their ancestors did, be- cause they are “ to new fangled ideas.” It would not be safe for the repub- licans to count on the election of Keys, — the race may be much closer than sual. “When Congressman Ellis announced his determination to retire frota public life, half of the big guns in the second district placed themselves in position, hoping that his mantle would fall on their shoulders. When the candidates came under the pri- mary election wire the judges declared John D. Clardy winner. The republicans have nominated E. G. Sebree, jr., while the other aspirants are H. F. Turner (pop.) and J. M. Holmes (pro.). In 1892. the district voted as 15,053; Kimbley (rep. 903; Ellis’ plurality, 5,. 27: say that Clardy will be the next Congressman from the second. Where Mr. Goodnight Went Down. Of all the battles now on, that in the third district is the most uncertain. There were so many men in the district crazy with the congressional fever that Mr. Goodnight, af- ter setting up the plex of ill health, retired from the race in disgust. During his ab- sence at the capital the “boys” had fixed things in a way which he despised, and a cursory view of the promised land satis- fied him that his cake was dough. When Mr. Goodnight announced his intention of stepping down and out there was a huge scramble for his shoes, with the result that Cc. U. McElroy of Bowling Green won the prize. The other candidates are W. G. Hunter (rep.) and J. C. Larkin (pop.). Dr. Hunter, who is quite popular, was in Con- gress some years ago. In the matter of ability to handle the issues and as a political worker, Hunter has no superior in that sec- tion. He has McElroy at a great disadvan- tage, and the democrats of the district are appealing to their partisans to rally, lest the enemy capture the citadel. The vote in '92 was: Hunter (rep.), 14,056; Goodnight (dem.), 14,986; Biggers (pop.), 2,742; Goodnight’s plurality, 980. It will be seen that the demo- crats have only a small margin; that the vote is too close to afford comfort to either side. Hunter and McElroy have been en- gaged in a joint debate, in portions of the district, for the past month, and all indicate that the former is getting the best of the contest. This is made the more evi- dent by the apparent alarm in the demo- cratic household. McElroy’s friends scout the idea of danger, but they are making frantic cries to the dilatory to get into line. Thirty days may make a big change, but the present indications are that Hunter will be elected. For some time Col. W. E. Hobson, a popu- lar republican, had been urged to announce hin self an independent candidate, but he has finally concluded to stay out of the contest. Judge Montgomery, in the fourth district, is one of the two present members from this state who have been nominated for re- election. The judge’s opponents are: John W. Lewis, republican, and J. T. Russell, populist. The vote of the district two years : Montgomery, democrat, 16,043; epublican, 11,485; Gardner, popu- ; Montgomery's plurality, 4,558. The republicans are making a gre: beating tin pans and disbursin amount of elequence over the district, but, from this standpoint, it doesn’t look as if the densocratic nominee was in danger. All of the candidates are on the stump, per- forating the thin air with appeals to the people to “Save me, Cassius, or I sink.” ‘rhe probabilities are that all of this will be another case of love's labor lost, so far Lewis and Russell are concerned, and that Montgomery will continue to represent his district at Washington, “Apnism” in the Louisville District. In this, the fifth district, Congressman Caruth has been turned down by his con- stituents. For the past two years the have been undermining the house ‘Ash” built, and when the primary election storm swept over the district not one stone was left on another. The only ex- planation to be offered for the Waterloo, which overwhelmed Mr. Caruth’s fond hopes, is the old one—greed for office. At the primary the democrats had three can- didates before them, viz: John M. Atherton, E. J. McDermott and A. G. Caruth. Me- Dermott was first under the wire; Atherton, second, and Caruth, a poor third. Bx-com- missioner of internal revenue, W Evans, is the republican candidate, with a fair election and honest count friends believe he will be elected. The other aspirants for the honor are Frank Rectenwald, populist, and J. W. Sawyer, prohibitionist. The vote of the district, two years ago, was: Caruth, demo- crat, 20,445; A. E. Willson, republican, 13,- 767; G. W. Summerfield, prohibitiontst, 372 C. 8. Bate, populist, 226; Caruth’s plurality, 6,078. follows: Ellis (dem. his “Apaisin” threatens to cut something of a figure here. It is a long jump from “Bloody Monday” to the present. It was at the elec- tion in August, 1856, that a score or more of foreigners were murdered on the streets of this city. Conditions have changed since then, and, though the Catholics cast only twenty-five per cent of the total vote, they hold seventy-five per cent of the municipal offices. The “A. P. A.” order has a mem- bership of 10,000 voters in this city. These voters represent all jes, and, it is as- serted, they will e themselves felt on the first Tuesday in next month. McDer- mott’s weakness is because he is a Catholic; Evans is a member of that strong and in- fluential church known in this section the “‘Campbellites;” ed that this church takes more than a com: mon interest in its members, especially if they happen to be aspirants for office. The religion of these two leading candidates will play a greater part in the election than will the questions of tariff or silver. been stated, the chances are all in favor of Col. ans. This is the opinion of nine men out of ten, and the surprise will be great if he is not elected by a large majority. The registration of voters in this city, which has just been completed, is the heaviest known. It aggregates 8,500 more than ever before, and this indicates the great interest felt in the contest. Seventy- five per cent of this increase 1s composed of citizens who have not heretofore cared to exercise their right of franchise. —_>_— Bishop Gijbert. The Right Rev. Mahlon N.
