Mn President: An Important duty, devolves upon us la selecting a suc cessor to Dr. Murphy, and In the per formance of this duty we can afford to make no mistake. ' ' "I know.that it will be hard for us to find another Dr. Murphy, whose pre-eminent fitness for his place was omy equalled y hU devotion to duty, his singleness ; of . purpose, his grea and absorbing Interest In his work. Every' power of bfc great mind and soul . was" enlisted and -utilised ,,or the benefit of this lnsUtutkn.

I do not believe chat any member of the board Is actuated by any feeling of partiality, selfishness or self-seeking for ourselves ? ot our friends, and this being true, the selection- of a successor to Dr. Murphy is stripped of some of, lta difflcultlea QUESTION TO CONSIDER. , , "The! question, and the only; ques tion ' we need io consider; ,' la what man; among those V applying comes nearer imeetlag tfiAireaulreTOeatft .ot this position? Not every man can fill lilt succe88fjully.i i, Even men who de-. aervedly stand at , the head or tne medical profession in the State cannot do It, . A' superintendent of this hos pital, to toe able to keep It In the high position It now .occupies, should bo first a skilled physician. And, v be should fee a man of great executive ability, and a man I Irreproachable personal character. ' Moreover, he should have a deep and abiding Inter est in this work. He should e wil ling to subordinate self. He should be willing to labor In season and out of season, night and day, for these heiplees creatures in his charge. He should seek the place, not for its hon ors and emoluments; but he should seek Jt because he loves his neighbor, and because he feels called upon to do this work for humanity's sake., A self ish man has no business here, . f i x "Then, he should be a man of strong mentality, whose ' physical strength and moral fibre are strong enough to sustain him In this great work. ;-.. "I say to yon, and I say tcthe peo ple of the State, that Dr, John Mc Campbell has all of these qualifica tions. Fourteen of the best years of his life have been devoted to this in stitution and Its Inmates. He has sat at the feet of Dr. Murphy, and hai been trained to follow 4n-"hls food steps, I do not mean to intimate that he Is not a man of originality and force of character. He Is thai, too, If I am a judge of men. HAS BORNE THE BURDEN. "For the past twelve - months, on account of Dr. Murphy's sickness, the burden of administering the affairs of the s hospital has been upon bja shoulders, and the board 'will bear me out In saying that he has made good by actual demonstration. , "It Is true that his nuirie has not been trumpeted abroad by the voice of Fame. Modest and retiring by nature, he has avoided the limelight; yet in every instance and upon every occasion that required it,- to the knowledge of this board, he has meas ured op to the highest standard of re sponsibility and efficiency.' ; v 4 ti "If I know men,, or can learn them from' actual contact,' this man is both' fit and worthy; and if we can Judge the future ' by the h past, the board will make no mistake if it should put I him In Dr. Murphy's place. . rl - "Thl :k ia tint . rhAfnrfmt Atanlaw nor faney ' picture drsAvn r from friendly imagination, but it Is an ex pression of my candid and deliberate Judgment, which.
