session In this city was an overwhelming
victory for those who favor the removal
of the seminary from it, present location
to some city, and who were represented
In the great debate on this subject by
Drs. Kerr. Moore, Martin. and Rice. Tho
discussion was brought on. however. by
tho other side-that II. by those who were
opposed to removal. DR.. Mcrlwaine. the
able leader OF tho latter party, introduced
resolutions which. II carried. would have
put an end to the whole movement for
n change of location and would have
fastened the Institution permanently TO
Its present site. This was the essence OF
the proposition which was buried out CT
sight BY the avalanche OF Votes on Thurs
day night last. The synod thus reached
the very result aimed Mt in Dr. Kerr's
substitute-that Is. It refused to take
any action at all at present that would
arrest tho movement thus leaving the
way open for removal II tho authorities
see Mt. and permitting the directors OF the
seminary to proceed with their investiga-
ton OF sites and their measures for rails
ing the requisite funds to effect the re-
moval II agreed upon. There Is no doubt
That IL the means can be secured and the
removal effected. this venerable school OF
the prophets will enter upon career OF
still more distinguished usefulness and
prosperity.

The Republican Big -Four.
(New York WORLDLY


The elections have raised four Republl-
can leaders into greater prominence as
presidential calculates. Harrison. Reed
Mckinley. and Merton are the national
Big Four" Each has his elements of
strength and of weakness.
As ex-Presldent. Mr. Harrison leads In
prestige. He has gained rather than lost
In popularity within his party since his
defeat He has strengthened himself by
his able. tactful. and effective speeches.
and by his Willingness to help the party
and serve his friends. He still lives in a
State that is doubtful under normal polit-
ical conditions. That he was defeated as n
candidate for reelection would operate
against him were II not for the prece-
dent of Mr.. Clevelands success on a
second trial under precisely similar cir
cumstances. Unless the situation shall
materially change mean while, General
Harrison will be a strong force TO be
reckoned with by the Republican aspi-
rants and managers in 1896.
Ex-Speaker Reed represents the az
gressive younger element of his party.
His strong intellectually has impressed
itself on the country. He will have
fine chance to renew his hectoring of
the beaten Democrats at the approach
Ing session of Congress. When the new
Congress meets. In December 1926, Mr.
Reed Will probably be reelected Speaker.
Whether he would strengthen himself
with his party in that position Is not so
clear. Even Republicans do not like TO
be bossed too much. Mr.. Reeds location
on the extreme eastern edge OF the Union
and In safe Republican State Is against
him as n presidential candidate. And
still he Is a possibility.
AS for Mr.. Mckinley, he will naturally
accept this years landslide as a belated
vindication of his tariff bill that was
twice condemned by the people. His
friends in Ohio with fatuous prompttude
already put him forward as the logical
candidate for 1896. Events are likely to
undecelve them. The country Is not
anxious to go back to higher taxes and
dearer living. The shrewdest Republican
leaders and journals disclaim any inten-
ton of restoring the Mckinley tariff. or
what use is Mckinley without Mckinley
ism? And yet the former lives in the
lucky central State Of Ohio, and he has
devoted following.
Last. but perhaps not least, comes Levi
y. Morton, Governor-elect OF New York,
long the pivotal State, and destined TO
be for years potent influence In national
affairs Mr.. Morton is rich. amiable. In
a certain sense popular, and he Will. II
alive and well in 1856. have the backing OF
adroit political managers. Should he real
" make a reform record as Governor.
which we must say We do not anticipate.
he would acquire a new element OF avail
ability Yet with Mr.. Morton's charac-
ter, affiliations. and peculiar career as
public man In the past. we can conceive
of no nomination from among the Re-
publican Big Four that would be 50 salts
factory to the Democrats as his. 1t Ii
certainly the one which the World most
sincerely hopes for 1t would be a most
interesting campaign The World wishes
for Mr.. Platt all success In his grooming
of Mr.. Morton
The next President Will be Democrat.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, November 1o.-The STOCK
market was active and higher again To-
day. The trading In stocks for the Two
hours OF business amounted to l%'zSo
shares: while the transactions In bonds
aggregated $1,5ys.0oo. Prices were higher
all through the list, the belief that the
administration had arranged for pond
issue with the syndicate that placed the
last loan of 100000 having stimulated
purchases While nothing officially Is
known about the matter the street firmly
believes that notwithstanding denials from
Washington. an issue Is inevitable. and
that on Monday definite proposition VIII

firms announced to-day that they were

is a disposition to doubt the news or an
issue and TO charge II to speculative
sources. The authority for the statement
that there viii be a bond issue Is tne
president Of one of the great trust com
