Atchison, a Missouri appear in the list of this country’s presidents, was for twenty four hours tie possessor of all the rights powers incidental to that great of fice. President Polk’s term expired in 1849, one of the rare years when March 4 falls on Sunday. He be- came a private citizen of republic at noon on that day, and, as_ the presi dent-elect Taylor refused, from religious scruples, to take the oath of office on the holy day, Atchison, as president pro tempore of the sen ate, was constructively the nation’s chief executive until the next noon, when the conscientious general was sworo in.

Canton, Onio, Feb. 10.—The old | story has once more been sprung jhere that Sherman will not be in the Cabinet, but will be forced to remain in the Senate in order to Bushnell to defeat Hanna It has been often stated that McKinley will the Senate, but friends of McKinley and McKinley himeelf laugh at the assertion. McKinley's friends say that neith- er Sherman nor McKinley would for @ moment entertain that notion for a riousnees. Their word has gone to the world that Sherman will be Me Kinley's premier, aud they believe it would be equivalent to an admission that they have been defeated at every point by Foraker and Bush- nell. ty of money cn deposit in it in It is still a probabilty that Hanna may become a member of the Cabi net, Sherman will not be withdrawn The trouble between Foraker and Bushnell on one side and McKinley and Hanna on the other is two-fold. Haana wants to go to the Seaate and sodoes Bushnell Foraker wants to contro! a large part of the patron age in Ohio, but McKinley has the word to give in that line and has de cided not to let the junicr Obio Sen- ator have that privilege unless he brings Bushnell to time. This is the move made ‘by McKinley, and Fora ker and Bushnell have geen it clearly. On this point hinges the result, not on Sherman, for the senior Sen ator is to be McKinley's premier.
