Doubtful States in 1908.
(From Leslie's Weekly.)

Let the Republican campaign
managers remember that the ma
jorities in New York in 1896, 1900,
and 1904 were abnormal, and could
not be repeated in IocS even under
the best possible conditions for the
party. Previous to 1896 the State
had been swining from one party
to the other, in successive presiden-
tial campaigns, for over a quarter
OF century. Connecticut and In
diana had been very uncertain in
those days also, while New Jersey
had usually been Democratic. Let
them also bear in mind that in
1892, in Mr.. Cleveland's second
election, not only did New York
New Jersey, Connecticut. and Indi-
ana go Democratic, but the Demo
Gratis carried such stalwart Repub-
lican States as Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, while the swing of six hundred
votes from the Republican to the
Democratic side would have given
Ohio to that party. Cleveland Sc
cured one of Ohios electoral votes.
And the Republican candidate of
that year, General Harrison, was a
native of Ohio and a resident of
Indiana.

New Locomotives.

The Delaware, Lackawanna s,
Western Railroad has placed an or
der for 4o engines with the Ameri-
can Locomotive Company. The
total cost of these will be approXi-
mately 81 900, 900. The locomo.
tives will be of various patterns,
but all are to be built on the latest
models of railroad mechanical engi-
neering. 1t is understood that the
Scranton branch of the American
Locomotive Company will receive
its full share of the new work, and
that the shops at the Cliff works
are making preparations to begin
to undertake their share of this un-
precedentedly large contract.

Only One Ex.President.

The only living American ex-
president celebrated his seventy
first birthday last month. Grover
Cleveland has been private citizen
for eleven years. Benjamin Harri-
son died eight years after his re-
tirement, but President Arthur SUR
vived less than 20 months. Mr..
Hayes lived IL years and Grant
eight years. John Adams, however,
survived for rs years, Fillmore 2I,
Madison and John Quincy Adams
each ro, and Jefferson II years. In
1868 there were three ex-presidents
still living-Fillmore, Pierce and
Buchanan-but since 1875 there
have never been more than two
alive at the same time, and for the
greater part of the period there has
been but one.

WILL NOMINATE KNOX.

Washington, May 49, Lieut..
Gov. Robert S. Murphy of PENN
sylvania, will present the name of
Senator P. c. Knox. Pennsylvania S
candidate, to the Republican Ma
tional Convention at Chicago. Mr..
Murphy has beeu invited to per-
form this office for Senator Knox
and has accepted the honor. He is
one of the best orators i'll the state
and the friends of the Pennsylvania
senator are we'll pleased at the Sc
lection.
Mr.. Murphy is a son of Francis
Murphy, the great temperance ad-
cate and is recognized as one of
ablest speakers that ever stump
=. the Keystone State. His home
at Johnstown where he is leader
the local bar. In 1906 when
Governor Stuart canvassed the
state Mr.. Murphy, as the candidate
for lieutenant governor was men,
Der of the governors campaigning
party and he won reputation as a
stump speaker. He has fine pres
ence and a wonderful voice and it
is certain that every delegate in the
hall at Chicago will be able to hear
him distinctly.
1t is probable that had Charles
Emery Smith, the editor of the
Philadelphia Press, lived he would
have had the honor of nominating
Knox, for he and the senator were
close friends and Mr.. Smiths ora
tory is known from one end of the
country to the other. But in Mr..
Murphy will be found the ability to
perform the duty in very accepta-
bic manner and it is believed by his
friends that his nominating speech
will rank we'll with the nominating
speeches of Ingersoll, Conkling
and others who have swayed Re-
publican national conventions.

No Raise Until Fall.

The persistent rumors that the
railroad companies were contem-
plating a general raise OF 10 per
cent. on their freight iates brought
an announcement that no such an
increase would be made this SUM

Reading and Trunk Line officials
announce, the much-rumored raise
will be made in order to secure in
creased revenue on account of "the

There are many public men in
Washington who regard the visit
of the American fleet to japan with
grave concern, and the reports from
tbs Pacific coast. where the sailors
are being treated with extraordina
ry consideration and hospitality, do
not diminish the apprehension. 1t
is pointed out that the officers and
men will start across the Pacific af-
ter all experience as well calculated
to make them egotistical, not to
say cocky, as any that could possi-
bly, be devised. Under these cir
cumstarces they will, it Is feared,
be in no humor to take any affronts,
even though they come from who'll
ly irresponsible sources, and yet
should they become enraged at any
incident in Japan the most unto
ward results might ensue. There
are many Republicans who believe
that the--President made a mistake
in accepting the invitation of Japan
and all will breathe easier when the
visit to Nippon is closed incident.

Washington, D. c., May 1S, 1908.
There has been a surprising
amount of Johnson talk in Wash
ington and wherever he has gone
the Minnesota Governor has been
the center of group of politicians
since he came here to attend the
natural resources convention. 1t is
even rumored that there is a move
ment on foot among the governors
to start a sort of gubernatorial
Johnson movement, to have the
whole thing carefully organized
and then, at what they deem the
psychological moment, to come out
strongly for the handsome young
Governor of Minnesota. OF course
as soon as this program is made
public there will develop strong op-
position from the Bryan strong.

movement will die abornin', but
that it is being seriously discussed

not run in the Derby of 1884, which
