| platform efforts have been noted. The speaker
referred to the influence of women in one of the
| campaigns Of Henry Clay, and in the struggle of
the free soil party in 1856. But while, she said,
women had always been given share in prepar-
| ing the feasts, the men generally eat them. She
| said that the women in New York buttered 500
| biscuits in the campaign which elected Mrs Hayes
husband. The speaker said that the influence Of
women represented the ''X'' in politics, and their
| power would, perhaps, determine the next pres-
| dental election Mrs Martha Mcclellan, of Ohio,
| spoke upon Disabilities The lady wore a
| grey silk dress with a hat to match and white
lace handkerchief about her neck. She spoke
entirely extempore, and her delivery was attrac-
! tive and effective.
| IF smooth talk will gain nomination for the
| Presidency Mr.. Arthur certainly ought to sue
ceed The following is scrap of ''taffy'' he
gave an Illinois man, and it must be confessed
| that on the surface it appears fair and square:
| ''Those people who think 1 am working to Sc
! cure the nomination are much mistaken. l will
not say that am not candidate, for in one sense
| that would not be trne. l am human. A presi-
| dental nomination has not yet been declined by
anybody, and 1 do not think it ever will be. But
l am not candidate in the sense Of making an
aggressive effort to carry the convention, or cap
ture' it, as some people say. If l am nominated
| it must be because / am the free choice of the
| convention. l desire it in no other way, l
! have not attempted, nor shall attempt in any
way to use the Federal patronage for my political
! benefit. have no quarrel with any of those
whose names are mentioned for the nomination.
I am personally friendly to all of them, and con-
cede to them the perfect right to succeed if they
l s-ez- t. IL
some extent that 1 am antagonizing Senator Lo-
gan, but that is very far from the truth. The
senator and myself are friends and trust we
may continue so, whatever may be the result of
the approaching contest. Just the other day I
made an appointment at Logan's request, that he
very particularly desired, and that knew was di-
rectly against my own interests. l will not de-
viate from the long established custom that the
control of certain official patronage shall be in
| the hands of senators and representatives"
CHARITY ball was recently held in Philadel-
phia, and the proceeds divided among certain
hospitals; $4,000 was sent to the Presbyterian
hospital which was declined and returned, for the
reason that managers held that the hospital is a
church institution, and that it would be improper
and inconsistent to accept donation from such
|
say: ''Whatever difference of opinion may exist
as to the propriety of such entertainments, or as
to the propriety of making such entertainments
the channels of charity we believe that very few,
| if any, who regard the sacredness of the church
would be willing to raise money for church pur-
poses by the means of like entertainments.
There is pervading sense of propriety that
draws a distinct sharp line, between pleas
urable entertainments and our church work 1t
does not seem fitting to our feelings of reverence
| to closely ally them This settles nothing, ex-
cept for this time the hospital refuses q sum Of
money which was obtained from people who
dance. The question remains open as before,
can members of the Presbyterian church dance
without sin? Unless that is the official teaching
direction of the church, the action of the hos
pital managers seems absurd.
| CALIFORNIA comes up &C snorting and happy -
for Blaine, by large majority. Ohio has a warm
place for him in its heart, Pennsylvania chershes
him as her favorite son, New York will send
| delegates to Chicago to vote for him, Maine of
course will stand by him, and in all unofficial
ways he seems the strongest candidate the Re
| publicans are talking about Louisiana has sent
word that it will support Arthur Though the
| Republicans do not intend to have any state
ticket, but only keep up an organization to send
delegates to Chicago. A strong half of the New
| York delegation will support him, and he drops
! into the calculation second to Blaine. Logan will
be supported by two-thirds Of the Illinois dele
| gates, and perhaps have the same or greater
strength in Wisconsin, and under the district
| system pick up scattering delegates in several
| states, so that while giving him the third place
he may show up rs strong as Arthur and il
would not be surprising if he were stronger. 1t
seems fairly certain that these three will open
the balloting in the lead, leaving Sherman and
Edmunds in the distance. What dark horse will be
the winner is for future decision.
KENNETH RAYNoH, solicitor OF the treasury,
who died recently at Washington was, according
to official records, born in BERTHE county, n. c.,
in 1903. He always claimed, however, that it
was mistake, and that instead of being seven

house of commons, and the same year was
member of the convention to revise the state con-

ture in 1886 and 1913, and was representative
in congress from North Carolina from 1889 to

the legislature. In 1866 he published his Life
and Services of Andrew Johnson He was

two years before his death Mr. Raynor, with his
