BOSTON MAN FOR
COADJUTORSHIP

Milwaukee, Nov. "a committee If
which Rev. Frederick Edwards and
Rev. William Austin Smith are the
clerical members, and with a lay rep
resentative from each of the city par
ishes and missions has been appointed
to gather information concerning pos
sible candidates for the coadjutorsh.p
and to present this information to a
second meeting of the delegates next
week. The committee will meet this
week, probably tomorrow evening.
The consensus OF opinion, brought
out at the meeting of the diocesan
council of ST. James parish, was that
the city churches win not support an
extreme man. They demand modec
ate churchman, a leader, and a man
inf entail in civic affairs The dele
gates were emphatic in declaring thai
they would not commit themselves 10
the support of any other kind of man.
For this reason the Iaity oppose the
candidacy of Rev. DR.. w. w. Webb. We,
lieving him to be too purely an eccles.-
astic, who would have no weight with
the people.
1t Is learned that Rev. John McGraw
Foster of Boston was the only name
seriously considered, and it is con
corning him that the committee will
proceed at once to gather information.

In the Quaker City.

Philadelphia, Nov S.-Philadelphia
was swept by the reform movement,
the city party ticket winning by a sur
prisingly large plurality. The repub-
lican local ticket was defeated by
$4,000 plurality.
The victory of the city party car
ries with it the election of William H.
Berry, the democratic and reform can
didate for state treasurer. whose ma
jority in the state is nearly 100000. J.
Lee Plummer, the republican candidate
for that Office, was badly cut through
out the city and state and he lost his
own county, which is usually republi-
can. Berry was the democratic nominee
and had the Endorsement of the Lin
coin party, Independence democrats,
and prohibitionists. The insult has
every appearance of landslide for
reform, not only in Philadelphia but
throughout the state. 1t is a serious
