Bishop w. ID. Walker OF North Dakota is
mentioned as a possible successor to the
late Bishop Coke of western New York.
A museum In Berlin has secured posses
sion of the bible which Luther used in his
study. Its margins are covered with notes
in the reformer's handwriting, 1t was
printed in Basic in 1903, and is in an ex-
cellent state of preservation.
The new Episcopal cathedral OF the do
cese OF Tennessee, at Memphis, will cost
500, 006, and will be built OF stone taken
from the quarries of the state. The exterior
will be OF rough-hewn stones, and the in
terror will be polished stone and marble.
No plaster will be used in the building.
Among the Episcopal clergymen mentioned
in connection with the bishopric of western
New York, to succeed the late Bishop Coke,
are Rev. Drs. Chauncey Is. Brewster Of
Brooklyn, James 8. Stone of Chicago; George
w. Douglas of New Haven, Conn; James
Rankine OF Geneva, N. Y, and John S. Lind

charge, and a member of congress, George
Kremer of Pennsylvania, made some state
ments, and | believe made affidavits TO them,
which for years were used as substahtiating
that charge. In after years It was proven
that James Buchanan was instrumental In
the circulation of this charge, and Clay
never lost an opportunity while in the sem
ate of assailing Buchanan.
When Van Buren, was the candidate
against Harrison. in 1910, the charges
against him were extravaganza, and the
hard times which had prevailed since 1887.
Jack Ogie made a gold spoon speech, telling
how Van Buren, used gold spoons at his
meals, while the people, in consequence of
his extravaganza, were obliged to put up
with pewter spoons" 1t seems hardly cred
ible at this day that such a charge should
have been seriously made In a presidential
canvass, but IL was regarded as a powerful
instrument against Van Buren,. at u time
when there was so much suffering and times
were so hard. Van Buren's SON, prince"
John. just about the close OF the campaign,
returned from England. The news at once
spread that he had danced with the queen.
These charges were used effectively In tho
press. and buried the father under an ava
lanche OF states which voted for Harrison.
"BLAcK-LEG AND PURITAN"
When Clay was n candidate for the presi-
deney, in 1874. his running mate was Theo-
dore Fr~elinghnysen, who was, or had been,
president OF the American Bible society.
Clay was assailed for his fondness for cards
and horse racing, and, contrasting the two
mon. the ticket was called the ticket OF the
"Black-leg and the Puritan" Another cam
paign device, used most effectively by the
opponents OF Clay, was a translation by the
democrats OF a document On the tariff, which
was circulated among the Germans Of Penn
sylyanla. and gave that state to the democ-
racy. This translation writes George w,

tNNllIlEHNf io'Vsl
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Now is the sea-
son when the campaign manager lies awake
o. nights dreading the roorbacks that may
be sprung upon his candidate and party.
These roorbacks, as a rule, are held In re
serve until the briefest possible time before
the day Of the election, In order that the
contradiction cannot have the same circula-
tion as the original. No matter how absurd
and improbable these reports may be, they
always find some believers and change some
votes. AS long ago as the campaign which
ended In the election OF Jackson and the
defeat OF the younger Adams, such instru-
mentalities, scurrilous beyond anything OF
more modern times, were not regarded as
unlawful weapons to be used in a presl-
Dental canvass. The Coffin handful, as 1t
was called, headed with fvi collins bearing
tue names OF men General Jackson had
hung in the Creek war for giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, was one OF the most
offensive. .
Besides this handful, which was spread
broadcast over the country, others more
personally abusive were in circulation.
Adams, a purist OF the purists, was accused
Of a variety Of crimes, one OF the least OF
which was that he had acted as a procurer
to the car OF Russia. Clay was branded

f. j. Rauch. who was one OF the
party which accompanied the remains
of Colonel +. X. Hahn from New YORK
to Danville on Tuesday, was one OF the
pioneer engineers on the Delaware
lackawanna and Western road. Mr.
Rauch stopped at Hotel Jcrmyn Tues
day night and spent part OF yesterday
in town renewing old acquaintance.
He is hale and hearty and says ne
feels just as young as he did when he
pulled the throttle on the Spitiire, the
first locomotive that was successfully
run on the northern division OF the
I.ackawanna road. That was way back
in 1851. when Colonel Scranton was
president of the road. Mr.. Kauch came
here from Reading. bringing with him
in sections the Spitfire. which was put
together here and run as freight en-
gine on the northern division.
Mr. Rauch is now road foreman of
engines Of the Manhattan Elevated
road, of which Colonel Hahn was gcn-
eral manager. He is member of Di-
vision 145, Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers. and although II years OF
age he looks like a man who has scarce
