SENATOR GRAY FOR PRESIDENT.
Talked of For the Next Democratic
Nomination.


A Movement That Started In Philadeiphia
and is Now Being Promoted in Washing
ton-Iiis Splendid Record in the Senate.
From our Washington Correspondent.
Washington, March 3. - Senator
George Gray of Delaware may be the
next Democratic nominee for President
of the United States At any rate it Is
rumored that there is strong move-
ment on foot in the Democratic ranks
to induce the Senator to accept the
nomination at the national convention,
The rumor had its origin in Phila,
delphia and was brought to this city by
a prominent Quaker City Democrat,
who said that he was positive that
something of the kind was in the wind.
The only way the Democrats can come
out victorious in the next election, no
said, will be by having first-class
man for candidate--one who would
meet with popular favor, and command
the support of the respectable thinking
people of the United States. Senator
Gray would prove popular candidate
He would have the endorsement of the
best class of citizens and would un-
doubtedly reap in thousands and thous-
ands of independent votes in the doubt
full States.
The name Of Delaware's 8 distinguished
statesman was prominently mentioned
at the last Democratic convention, but
he declined to allow his name to be
used, as he favored cleveland. The
condition of tho party, as well as the
entire country, has changed considera'
ble in the past four years; but the
political changes have not affected the
popularity of Senator Gray. He has
faithfully and efficiently performed his
duties as the representative of his
State, and has made no factiona
enemies in his party. His record in
the Senate is an enviable one. He is
always champion of right and Justice,
and has the respect and admiration Of
all of his rnllnapIlns

ST. PArRIoK's CHURCH.
Its Financial Condition From October 1st,
1894, to March LIST, 1896.

1894, to March list, 1885,
The Rev. d. j. Flynn has prepared
a report of the financial condition of
st. Patrick's Church, covering the
period from October 1st, 1894, to
March 1st, 1896. The total receipts
during that time amounted to S27,-
5l2. 81, of which s., 384 was derived
from fairs and special school collection.
OF the expenditures 81, 216. 32 were for
the new parochial school. Other items
of expense were as follows: Bonds and
interest, sS, S63. II; salaries, 81, 773 75;
current expenses, So, 639; Rt. Rev. A.
A.. Curtis, d. D., for diocesan pur

Since the last report, the total indebt-
edness on the church property, which
now amounts to sl2, 400, was reduced

In presenting this report Father
Flynn warmly thanked the members of
st. Patrick's parish for their great
generosity in support of every parochial
movement. In speaking Of the amount
of money realized by the fair and
simultaneous special collection, he
thought the amount, S., 3S4,0 90, was
the largest raised in any one church
enterprise since the bishops bazaar of
1891. He also made special mention of
the handsome assistance received from
his former parishioners of St. Mary's,
and of the substantial aid from st.
Paul's. In fact, assistance came from
all the parishes and he wished to ac-
knowledge publicly his gratitude to all
those who contributed TO the building
of the parochial school.
In conclusion he said that with the
support and encouragement that he
met with in and out of the parish, he
hoped this summer to extend the
church, for which he lately purchased
some ground. His architect is now
preparing the improvement. which, in
Guiding painting, will cost about
