says that an attempt is being made to
get members of the Greeuback delega.
ton in Congress to make speeches in
Ohio for Ewing, but not one has ac-
cepted. De La Matyr says he shall
not speak there for anybody, but con-
fine his attention to Maine. The Green
hackers say that those of their orators
who go there will speak for Piatt and
their own ticket.
The requirements of the will of the
late Thomas Powers, the millionaire
druggist of Philadelphia, require the
return of the large sums of money ad-
vanced by him to help along the Re-
formed E piscopal Church, and these
exactions are working hardship on
many of the societies of that denomi-
nation in America. He was a great
benefactor Of the church, and donated
its finest structnre-thc Second Re-

he is dead the church at large finds it.

The action of the recent Conference
of the Reformed Episcopal Church in
Chicago has had the effect to cause
the withdrawal from connection with
the denomination in the United States

tablished under the PASTORAL auspices
