BISHOP TALBOT IN
THE CITY YESTERDAY
HEAD OF EPISCOPAI DIOCESE
CONFIRMS THREE CLASSES.
Was at St. Luke's Church in the
Morning, nt St. David's in the
Afternoon nnd at tho Church of the
Oood Shepherd in the Evening.
Preached tin Eloquent Sermon in
the Latter Church on the Joys of
Easter-tlme nnd What They Mean.
nt. Itev nishop Uthclbcrt Talbot, of
the Central Pennsylvania Protestant
diocese, made an olllclal lslt to thti
city vesteidav nnd confirmed largo
classes at several of tho Kplscopal
churches. In tho morning he confirmed
a class of thirty-two tit St. Luku'n
church, and afterwards preached nn
eloquent sermon on "Christ's Method
of Dealing with Doubt."
In the aftcinoon tho bishop continued
a class of twelve at St. David's church,
West Kei anton, afterwards delivering
a bilef sci mon on "Jesus and tho Res
urrection " In the evening he conn lined
n class of ten at the Church of the
Ciood Shepherd, In Green Ridge. There
was nn especially large congiegatlon
present, and at the conclusion of tho
ceiemnny the bishop gave a brief ad
dress to those who had lecelvcd the
saciamcnt, telling them of the gicater
Cluistlun losiionFlbllltle.s that will In
futtitp fall to their lot
He then preached a most eloquent
sei mon, taking his text from Psalms,
118.21: "This Is the day which the lvnd
has made; we will lejolee and be silad
In It." Among other things, he said.
THU OIUJATKST DAY.
"There weie, of couise, manv great
festivals and feasts In the Jcwlh
church and a deal of uneeitalnty nt
taehes to the exact daj the psalmist
meant when he wrote these winds. The
eaily Cliilstlan fatheis, however, were
not slow to apply Its meaning to tint
greatest and most bIoiIiius of all days
In the Cliilstlan jear, namely, Haster
biinday, which has Just passed.
"We have It Is ttue, a little Kastet'
fifty-two times a yeai, but the great
clay of all orfly comes once 11 je.u.
There can be hardly any question hut
that this Is the queen of all festival -t.
Theie Is a glotlous da on the twenlj
flfth of every December, the day when
the nativity of Jesus Chi 1st is cele
brated. A ccitain element of pathos
and sadness, however, enters Into this.
The blith of Christ means that the
Gieat Lonl of Heaven and Haith had
Wt tho bilshlness of His heavenly
tome to humiliate and lower Himself
by taking the bin den of man's sins on
Ills shouldeis.
"How different It is, however, with
faster Sttndav, when the dominant
note Is Joy nnd a Jn- that Is manifold.
Theie are thiee maths of jov which
ramo with that Hist Kaster nineteen
bundled yeais ago, and of these I
would sicak In lolly.
"The Hist is that tho fitst Kaster pos
sessed the Joy of teai tion. For several
das before that daj the apostles had
suffeied the most keen and bitter ills
appointment. Thej could not under
stand how this man of rower could
allow himself to come to the end he
did. They weie disappointed tint He
who had lulcd tho wind and waves
should have allowed himself to bo ar
rested, spit upon, ei owned with thoins,
scourged nnd lluallv, most houlblc of
all, crucified
JOY Or THU RHSIIRRUCTIOX
"To them the death of Chi 1st on Cal
varjr's top meant the collati.se of in,
their fairest hopes. How easily then
can bo Imagined their Jov when on
that Kaster morning they saw Him
once mote amongst them, tadlant and
full of vltalltv. holding out His hands,
and saying, 'Peace, I give unto you.'
Theirs was tiuly the Joy of a gieat re
action. "The second Jov was the Jov of a
great certainty. Tho hunun intelli
gence alwavs demands satisfaction as
well as the human heart. The apostles
saw that all His predictions an 1
prophecies were fulfHled and that He
was tiuly divine The icsuirectlon has
been tiulv called 'the kevstone of th
auli of Christianity.' Knock It out,
nnd everything falls,
"Had It not been for this historical
fact for tho lesunectlon Is an histori
cal fact Chtlstlanlty would have been
dead long ago and dp 1st scaieely a
memory. The resurrection makes the
gospels ever new, ana we can safely
plant our feet upon this doctilne,
knowing that if we believe, we have a
certain pledge of heavenly lest.
"The third joy was the Joy of a great
hope. It is this Kaster day hope of
lesunected life that filled the apostles
and should fill us w 1th jov unspeak
able. In Athens nnd In Rome In ths
early ages one might see upon the
cemetery gates the Inscription, 'They
Havp Been,' there being then no pos
sible thought of a reunion after death
or of a new life. Walk tluoush the
cemeteries In any Christian land to
day and one may read the inscription
on hundreds of tombstones, 'I am the
resurrection nnd the life, and whoso
ever believeth In me Bhall never die.'
"We are gruduallybeginnlng to think
of death as n mere Incident, rather
than ns a thing to be feared una
dreaded. This Is the true Christian way
and the one that every true follower of
the lowly Xazarlne should follow."
The bishop was the guest In the
morning of Itev. Rogers Israel, rector
of St Luke's church, and in tho even
ing of J, Ren Dlmmick. He goes to
Carbondale today, but will return to
this city tomorrow to confirm a class
at Christ church, Green Ridge.

OTHER FEATURE OF
ELECTION COIN TEST
VAST AMOUNT OP LABOR RE
QUIRED TO CONDUCT IT.
For Two Yeais the Attorneys, Clerks
nnd Constables Engaged on Either
Side Have Been Diligently nt Work
on This Big Job Some Idea of the
Systems Employed in Keeping
Tabs on tho Result of the Exami
nations Nothing Was Done in a
Haphazard Manner.
One who has not looked into the mat
ter can, scarcely conceive tho amount
of labor expended In the conduct of a
big election contest, such ns that for
the olllce of county tieasuter, which is
now drawing to 11 close.
This contest litis been on for two
years, and dutlng all of tjiat time
scarcely a day has passed that the at
torneys, constables and cleiks, em
ployed on one sldo or tho other, have
not done more or less woik In connec
tion with It, What this service cost is,
of course, not n matter of lecoul, but
that It will In the aggicgate make i
very nice flgute can be leadlly esti
mated. First of all, each side went over ihe
voting lists and carefully selected some
10.000 or more voters, who had voted
for the opposition, or who, In the opin
ion of the pat ties to the contest, cast
their votes for the other follvv. This
was nut done at hap-haz.trd, as might
be supposed. Pat ty leaders from nil
over the county who could bo expected
to know which way a. man voted were
called In and their opinion sought In
cveiy doubtful ease from their par
ticular locality In this way the num
ber of favorable votes attacked In
cither hill of particulars was 1 educed
to the minimum.
Next In older was a census nf the
voters who had mado defective alll
duvlts Theie were over 2,000 of these.
Tho two panics Jind dlffeient methods,
but tho same work had to be accom
plished In each Instance, and ns they
differed only In detail, It Is sufficient
to describe one, that of the respond
ent. AFFIDAVITS EXAMINED.
As the affidavits were taken out of
the return envelopes dutlng the olllc
lal count tho contest having been an
ticipatedtwo attorneys examined
them and when one was found defect
ive, he would call off to a stenographer:
"Olyph.int, Seventh ward. Fifth dis
trict. John Smith, four, five and seven."
"Four, five and seven" repiesented the
reasons for which the affidavit was de
fective, tho vailous possible teasons
having been pievlously codified and
num bet ed for lnovltv, and convenience.
Instead of saying, "To whom taxes
were paid not stated,"
Place for wit-
ness' name left blank." or "Failed to
state wheie naturalized," the numbeis
eouesponding to these ieasont would
be given.
This being done, list of voters thus
disqualified was eaiefully gone over, as
was done with the whole list of voteis
when the bill of paitlculurs was being
piepared. but with oven gicater care.
Not onlv weie p.utv leaders from nli
over tho county called In to give Judg
ment on how each man oted, but two,
thiee, and sometimes half a. dozen,
political workeis from each election
dlstilct were Interviewed for the pur
pose of confirming this judgment.
When there was a well-grounded doubt
tho questionable voter was sounded
directly or through' some close filend
When this wns all done, the attoines
weie satisfied that they could tell
within one hundred of how many of
these defective votes were cast for their
man. The lespondent attorneys had It
figured out that thev had the best of
the defective affidavits by 250.
Net came the healings, Thej con
tinued during 197 days and 13,000 wit
nesses were examined, 7,000 on the con
testant's side and 6,000 for the tespond
ont. METHODS OF TABULATING.
The methods of tabulating the find
ings in each ease, as put sued by the
two sets of attomeis. differed In that
the contestant used a caid nnd the re
spondent a book. On the contestant')
cud were all the questions that 01 dl
narily would be asked a witness, with
a blank space after each and a space
at the bottom for lemaiks. When a.
witness' examination was concluded
tho card beaiing the result of his ex
amination was marked "good," "bad"
or "doubtless," as the case might be,
and tiled away in pigeon-holes, accord
ing to districts. Notes weie also made
In n record book for further conveni
ence. The respondent's recoid book was
two feet long by eighteen Inches wide,
und tho whole length of two pages was
utilized to keen account of each wit
ness. A column was piovlded for en
tering everything mateilal that could
possibly bo brought out, from the num
ber of his vote to the leason ho gave,
If any, for calling on some one to as
sist him in marking his ballot.
If a favorable oter was shown to be
all right, he was checked off In red
Ink. If his vote was Incurably bad he
was checked off In black Ink, If he
was without naturalization papeis or
tax receipts, but averred he had been
natuialtzed or paid his tax, as the case
might be, his name was enteied In an
other book with a note of tho defect to
bo cuted, and then a leprescntatlve of
the respondent would be satisfied to
Interview this voter for the purpose of
Inducing him to get duplicate natuul
Izatlon papers or leteipts.
When he had done this, or the at
torneys had done It for him, ho would
be subpoenaed for further examination
und the defect In his vote cured.
TIIC FORM UHCD.
A sample page from this "staggered''
book, as It was dubbed by the attor
neys, would make Interesting rending.
For Instance, an entry llko this would
be seen:
"John Smith, et cetera 6-11-99, nat
uralized In Pittsburg but lost papers,
7-18-99, J. IJ. G. secured duplicate,
7-26-99, P. V. S. reports that he voted
for Iangstnff."
After having found out all they want
ed to know about these thousands of
voteis, the attorneys next proceeded to
pick out theso they wanted to attack
In their requests to the examiners. The
contestant used this form In setting
forth 11 prospective victim for tho con
sideration of the exatnlneis.
"Number of vote. C4; John .Smith,
ago 35; Fifth dlstilct, Fouith waul,
Moosic, did not pay taxes, received help
impropeil In marking ballot and was
not resident of dlstilct for pi escribed
time, Vol. 11, page 61, und vol, 14, j ago
20." ,
The respondent had n much mote
compact wny of setting this forth. The
various teasons for which a voter could
be disqualified ',v ere set forth on tlie
first pago and numbered, and these

The contestant's recpiests arc pie
faced with an elaborate discussion of
the law beating on voting, In which
aio set forth some now leadings of
ceitaln phases of the law, as told of In
Saturday's Tribune, tho most impoit
ant of which is that a man must not
only be a citizen before he votes, but
must have exetclsed as a citizen cer
tain of the pietequlsltes of citizenship
beforo he can become a voter, as, for
Instance, an alien must have been nat
uiallzed a month befoie he can vote.
Mr. Holgate is -confident of helnsr sus
tained In these contentions.
Four or five months fiom now, when
the examiners have filed their report,
the attorneys will be called upon to 50
over It, make up a bill of exceptions
and argue with the judges In an effort
to convince them that they are right
and the examiners wrong. AVhcn they
have done all this, they will bo nearly
thiough.
