How the Pope Is Elected.
Ceremony in Choosing New Head OF
Church..

The following description of the
form pursued in selecting pope is
from the New York World:
Few elections, political or religious,
have ever called into service so much
subtlety and diplomacy as those which
have made the popes.
As, however, twenty-five years have
now elapsed since the last election, it
may reasonably be suspected that the
members of the Sacred College are not
so we'll practiced in the electioneering
arts of the conclave as those of past
times, when two elections would take
place in year, and even four have
been recorded as having taken place
in eighteen months.
Nevertheless, distinguished conclav-
lists, as the electioneering agents of the
conclave are called, have drawn up
treatises on the art Of pope-making,
founded on and illustrated by their
own experience, in which the theory Of
the tactics for managing conclaves and
electing popes is minutely set forth,
and copies of which are doubtless in
the libraries of the majority of the
Roman cardinals.
Originally the clergy and people
united in the election of the pope until
Nicholas II, in 1857, restricted the
quality of the elector to the body of
cardinals and Alexander III, in 1l79,
declared that majority of two-thirds
of their number should be necessary
for the election of pope.
SEVENTY TAKE PART
The cardinals are of three orders
bishops, priests and deacons-and there
are, as rule, six bishops, fifty priests
and fourteen deacons. The whole
number or plenum of the College of
Cardinals ought not, according to a
bull of Sixtus V, to exceed seventy,
but the bull has not always been scrup-
ulously observed, and indeed Paul "
meditated increasing their number to
a hundred. The present number of
cardinals is sixty-two.
The custom of locking up the cardi-
nails cum clave, from which the con-
clave gets its name, dates from the
long contested election of Gregory X,
and became law by bull of that pope
after his election to the papacy in 1870.
TWO YEARS CoNcLAvE.
The conclave Of Gregory X was one
of the longest on record, lasting two
years. Clement ", the predecessor
of Gregory, died at Viterbo, and the
cardinals, not being able to agree upon
the choice of a successor, were prepar-
ing to leave the town when St. Buona-
ventura, the disciple OF st. Francis Of
Assist, persuaded the inhabitants to
shut their gates and not to let the car
dinals 60 until the pope was made.
The people took the saints advice,
and not only shut the gates of their
town, but set guard over the cardi-
nails at the door of the palace in which
they met, and informed them that they
could not even leave the palace until
they had elected their pope.
The cardinals, however, failed to
come to an agreement and went on
voting from month to month without
