While the Democrat* have all along— especially since the Kansas City Conven tion—claimed confidence In the honesty of Tammany's support of the national ticket, Ihe Republicans have professed to believe that Mr. Croller really had a knife up hi* sleeve for Bryan, and would give him no hotter support than he did in 1896. The latest adv'ce which has reached Washington from a ItopubiJlcan source Is the report of former Senator Manderson of Nebraska, who spent some lime In the state during the meeting of the National Bar Association and afterward. Rtnator Manderson. who. while he Is out of poli tics, Is regarded as a very shrewd politi cian, Is quoted as saying: "Majorities, change very suddenly In New York. If you will examine the polit ical almanacs you will see that the . nndl ilate of one party I* elected by a large ma jor!! yon. year .and a candidate of an other party by n similar majority Ihe next without any reason apparent to the out sider.

In Speaking about the altuallon to-d&y he said: "The example *t by Bishop Tur ner and other prominent colored men Is going lo have a wide effect throughout, the South. "For a long time the more substantial representatives of the race, the men who have attained succcsss In different lines of endeavor which are o|>en to them In the South a* they are not In the North, have been restive under the Republican attitude of possession. There are no po litical bosses In the country more dicta torial than the Republican politicians, white and Mack, of Ihe South, and there has grown up a strong sentiment agal&M Ihe attitude of these men who hase as sumed to themeelve# ihe control of the race tn all matters poltllra!.

If as much, have been an Import ant factor In bringing this antl-Repuh llctin sentiment lo a head, and men Ilk* Bishop Turner and a great many other# have dared to apeok their real asntlmenta where they could not before. "Another Important factor In the devel opment of the friendly feeling held Hy many negroes toward the dominant party in the Sooth. Is that tn many communities, they enjoy full participation wllh Hie white people In lm-sl elections ami they have got In the habit of voting wllh one or another faction of the Democrat*. They now take the position ihHl the friendship of the Republican parly tvnslsu In words alone, and ha* no substance lo It. Which being the ease, they prefer to align them selves with the white men of the commu nities In which they live and these men are Itemocrat*. “Tbrr.- wtlll. therefore, be many n col or, and vote cast for Bryan throughout the South. Of course, three vote# are not needed to affect the general result, hut M Is possible that the movement thus In augurated may spread In a way to se riously affect the Republican majorities In ions of the close states.

THE 41 ROSTS OF I. OX DON. Houses That Have Been Haunted for Centuries. From the London Pall Mall Oagettc. Doubtless, If a chronicler could be found lo unearth tho reports from among old newspapers, countless stories could be told of alleged hsuntlngs of the type which Is at the pre-ent Juncture titillating Weal Kensington nerves, and giving the potlca • deal of extra point duly In Edith Walk. Never!lieless the haunted houses In Don don which have achieved anything more than merely transitory nnd vulgar notice appear to be but few and far between; while of duly authenticated ghostly visi tations the metropolis can beast practical ly nil. Of course, what Is still the most famous I/midon ghost story, the notorious Cock Dane affair of the lost century, was a bogus spirit altogether. Almost every one of us. young and old, has heard how Cunning "Fanny." with lier mysterious knocklngs. contrived lo h ax the wonder-loving l/mdoners. until at length the cheat was discovered ami Its chief contriver brought to condign pun ishment. Dr. Johnson, at the head of a body of servants, .olnmnly Investigated the affair, sitting up through the night of Feb. 7. 17*2, In the vault of Bt. John's Church. Clerkenwett. and Goldsmith wrote a pamphlet on the subject far which New berry rld him * guineas. The whole was a plot, devised by one Parsons, the par ish clerk of Hi.

Thl, KCntleman was a widower, who had lak ,n his wife's sister as a mistress (the mail lag* being forbidden by law), and had brought her to lodge with Parsons, from w liotn he had re moved her lo other lodgings. h"re she hod died suddenly of small-pox. Parsons' object was to ob tain the ghost's declaration that she had been |hM so tied by hla (Parsons* creditor The knave was subsequently tried and sentenced to the pillory and one year’s Imprisonment, but even after the expos ure. the London mob still believed In the Cock Unv ghost, and freely subscribed for a testimonial to k* originator.

The lease had still fix year* to Pun when the unfortunate gcntjmian died, whereupon the action of hig sister. IO whom the properly passed.

The manner In which the series of outrageous -p.ok stork* had grown to he rmelrxl with It was very c'everly and Indef.atlgnbly expo-ed by the correspond ents of Note* and Queries. Only one point remain*,! lo be cleared up when thr house was renovated, via., whether It had pos sessed the rrpuiatton of being haunted be fore the eccentric gentleman's I. nnn-y. Fortunately the butler of the previous oc cupier was .11 'covered, and he solemnly staled that during Ihe years ho had been In ihe house, often ajooe, and t all honra, he hail "never seen any Mgger ghost Ilian himself." The moral, If any. I*, keep the exterior of your house In good repair, oth erwise a ghost may be aitpropriated to you with a* little show of evidence, authority, or jusllrtrallon as Is ihe case of the so called Berkeley fiqtiare mystery.

One of the first cases of a haanted house which Ihe Society for Psychlcai Ite search was aske I to Investlkate ™ sit uated In Chctse*. where an artist's tu.Ho was tho m one of weird visitations. An ap parition was even by the artist In hro.i l daylight, and appeared to him constantly during his three yrais' tenancy. The cir cumstances were such as to preclude all possibility of deception, and the figure It relf was so distinct snd Ilf. like that he succeeded In protuclrg a portrait of It. A rough sketch of this portrait, which Is now In p sreselon of the society, reprre amts a young man of about 28. with the right arm torn sway from the shoulder snd u strangely mournful, pleudlng ex pression In the eyes. The society exam ined the house, and found that Its then tenant, who had replaced the artist, had seen nothing. it *■ discovered, however, that a dis tressing sub Ide had lakrn place In the house shortly after It had b>en built (and ob:ut forty y.ars b for the date of the vls'on allegrel to have been seen by the artist), but It did not seem pondbl® to connect this in any way with the latter. And there the matter ended. This Is the last hona-Hde case of a I-ondon hsuned house which we have been able to trace. The West Kensington one reads spurious ly, as though Ihe reputation had really originated In tha tempting target whlcn a long-empty snd derelict-looking house always offers to the si one-throwing pr pensltle. of the email hoys of Ihe neigh borhood. Nevertheless, It ts only fair to add that, according to some account*, this unfortunate villa has suffered 11s uncan ny distinction hr some sixteen years past. KAIMCRD (SIFT TO KBV9ER.
