when they aro dealing with the reputation of

minded, well-thinking persons, whether tho
six signers, above mentioned, aro competent
to pass judgment on tho ability of Mr,
Whitaker, when, as wo have shown, they
can know nothing whatevor about it; and
whethor such an attack on him is not
grossly unjust and oven slanderous. Wo havo
been groatly surprised to find tome men's

something bettor from their Intelligence, and
bolloved they had moro regard for our and
Mr. Whitakor's reputations. Wo say our and

election will ruin tho schools, which aro tho

naturally follows that wo aro as bad, or
worse, for supporting him.
Wo deslro to call tho attention of tho
public to tho following truths: Wo aro tho
majority of a public body, with a great
public trust confided to us; wo are as deeply
interested In tho welfaro of our schools and
as slucerely desirous to elevate their standard
as auy other men in the community. Sonio
of us havo served many years on tho School
Board, and a much longer time than any of
tho protesters. As public officers wo havo
dono moro School Board labor than any of
them. Wo claim to know mro about our
schools and their wants than they do. Wo
had a duty to perform in the election of a
superintendent, and woporfoi-oied It with duo
deliberation and a conscientious regard for
the intorests at stako. In the performance of
this duty wo -exhibited no party spirit, nor
race or creed perjudico j wo -offered to rem in
Mr. Freeman, and even proposed an increase
of salary, as an inducement for him to stay

A Communication Supportlnc the ISIectlou
of Mr. Wllllllker.
The following communication has boon
furnished for publication by a member of the
School Board who assures tho Herald in
writing that tho publication is desired by
nine members of the board. Ed.
Wo, the directors, constituting tho majority
of tho School Board, and who elected Mr, M.
P. Whitaker to tho olnco of superintendent
of our schools, desire to make a public state
ment in reference to some matters connected
therewith. In justice to Mr. Whitaker, to
our schools, to tho community and to our
selves, wo are necessitated to notice a ma
licious attack made upon Mr. Whitaker, and
upon ourselves, through him, which appeared
in last Saturday's Herald.
Tho attack comes, assaesiu like, from
ambush, and concealed uuder the docu
mentary form and language of a "legal
protest." We havo it from good authority,
that the protest as published, is not a "legal
protest. ' Wq do not believe that any three
of the protestors will swear to it, to givo It
legal force at tho "Stato Department," and
hence it must lose the dignity of a formal
legal protest and degenerate, by its publica
tion, to a malicious, cowardly attack. We
are prepared, and so Is Mr. Whitaker, to
meet auy fair and just legal objection or
poiu( that may be raised in the case, at tho
proper time and place; and whilo we cannot
condescend tojiotico. ovcry poisonous thrust
mado by a few narrow-minded individuals,
yet, in justice to ourselves and others, wo
desire to defend our position and motives,
since they havo been publicly rjuestioned.
In tho so-calledlprotost, alluded to above,
several very isweeping assertions of Mr.
Whltaker'a lack of literary qualifications
are made, with tho simple form that the
signers believe that so-and-so is tho case. Of

and no combination on prices was mado. A

that it broke up in a wrangle.
When it was first opened George Rohlaud,
of tho firm of Rohland Bros., was called upon
to act as chairman. Ho declined. Ho
