was brought in at the eleventh hour in 1852 and in 1858 Buchanan carried off the honor. Had Cass obtained the nom- ination in either of the three years in which he failed in the convention he probably would have been elected. He obtained the nomination in year in which his party, largely, however, on his account-was rent by feud. the Barn burner-Hunker conflict, in the decisive State of New York. Like Clay. Cass, as a Presidential aspirant, died hard, but he died just the same. Said Clay, just after one of his many defeats. to Henry A Wise: 'T am the most unfortunate man who has ever appeared in American politics. Whenever my party cannot elect anybody I am nominated, but in the years in which any man on my side could carry the country the nomination gees to somebody else.'' III luck gave Cass a right to say the same thing as regards himself. We get a dissolv1ng view of Cass in the Buchanan Cabinet, but the places of prominence in his par tvs councils which knew him for a great many years were to know him no more forever.

Yet not only did Cleveland abolish this superstition. but he defeated the most popular Republican in the country In doing 1t. Moreover, he destroyed another popular notion in his second election, and that was that a President who was defeated for election during his service has the door to the White House forever afterward closed against him. Since 1892. however when he defeated Harrison, who had beaten him four years earlier, no more will be heard of that precedent which bars a defeated President from all chances of
 future political favors. In 1884 Cleveland

 superfcialIy, at least, it appeared that William H. Crawford started out in the Presidential canvass of 1924 with some powerful factors on his side. His candi- dacy had the support, 1t was thought, of President Monroe, in whose Cabinet he held the post of Secretary of Treasury although 1t was. Known by some of the Presidents intimates that Monroe and Crawford had disagreed on several ques- tions and that the President was person. ally not very friendly to him. He had also the nomination of the Congressional caucus. John Quincy Adams, the Secre- tnry of State in Monroe's Cabinet, was also an aspdrant for the Presidency, as were Jackson and Calhoun, the latter be- inE the Secretary of War at the time. Calhoun withdrew from the canvass for President early in 1924, let 1t be known that he would accept the second office and was elected to that post. Four men received electoral votes for President. and in the contest in the House, to which body the election went on account of the failure of any candidate to get major ity of the votes. Adams was elected There were two C's in the contest. Craw- ford and Clay, and they were at the foot of the list. Crawford being the third and Clay the fourth in voting.
 That was Crawford's first and last cam vass. It was Clay's first. but his last did not come until quarter of a century af- terward. Fate pursued him relentlessly to the end. Moreover, in attacking him fate was coupelled to smash a precedent, as it had done in George Cllnton's case. The new line of succession, which had been established when Clinton's defeat put a barrier against the transit of Vice Presidents into the higher office, that by way of the post of Secretary Of state, operated until 1t encountered man with tbe q in the front end of his surname.

Have the people of to-day outlived the
old time love once so common between
them and the Pastor? This question is
often answered i'll the affirmative, but it
is always by those whose wish is father to
the thought. We need not go out of
town to prove that there exists to-day as
true every day love for "our Dominic
as our fathers could boast of. Keep your
eye on Emmanuel Church parsonage for
instance. There is hardly a week passes
that some one does not drive up and car
ry in some gift. In this way large Glib.
shad from Dolbow and Lloyd often make
their appearance. Great punches OF
mammoth asparagus, fancy kind, as
thick as your thumb, have gone into this
parsonage from Howard Cooper's farm
quite often this year as gifts for old loye's
sake. Some body wants to lend dominic
their horse and carriage. Charley will
pillow the garden. Uncle John and Monroe
send i'll some good healthy tomato plants
and any other plants they may have. An
occasional basket of apples from Will
comes along etc. Fit was not for the
