I havo no doubt thero will bo sovorul candidates, and I think it duo them that thoy should ull know that I shall not bo a candidate I mnko tlio announcement carlv. for tho reason that tho conventions nro early next year, it being presidential year."

Tho announce ment by Senator Cameron thnt ho would not bo a cimdidnto for ro-olcction, when It reached the Republican loaders in this city, whllo not entirely unexpected, naturally evoked comment. Tho question of tho succession is of very widespread Interest, mid will arouso interest Inovery section of tho state. For somo tlmo it has been ro poitcd that Mr. Ueorgo S. Grahnm would bo a candidate for tho ofllco, und In such event would probably receive tho support of tho stnto administration. Somo months ago Senator Quay, in discussing tho sub ject, announced that in tho event of Cam eron's retirement ho would endeavor to holp J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster, into tho seat. In addition to tho names nbovo men tioned as aspirants for senatorial honors nnd who aro talked of In connection with tho Cnnioron succession aro ox-Lieutenant Governor Louis A. AVatros of Lacka wanna, county, Stato Senator Boies I'en roso nnd Charles Emory Spilth. it is Dollovoil that tlio Quay people, or somo of thoni, havo known of Cameron's intentions for somo timo.

Ho discussed tho candidates likely to como forward if Senator Cameron should not deslro a ro-electlon, and ho named tho following as mot llkoly to bo seriously considered: John Wannmnker, Boiso Penrose, William Potter and George S. Graham. This lutorvlow created a good deal of comment at tho tlmo. Governor Hastings Also "Mentioned." HAltuisnuitO, Dec. 10. Thoro Is a strong sentiment among tho frlonds of Senator Quay on Capitol Hill tn favor of tho selec tion of Senator Ponroso us a successor to Senator Cameron.

Iteport of tho Proceedings at 11 Meeting; Held Yesterday. Tho regular meeting of tho local teachers' institute was held in tho High school last evening, Superintendent M. P. Whitakcr presiding. Miss Wasley conducted tho sing ing. Miss Brciinun conducted a class in third grade primary arithmetic, reviewing their knowledge of tho terms pints, quarts, pecks, bushels, inches, feet, yards, ounces, pounds, dozens, etc., and by practical problems had them apply the knowledge to tlio business or tho merchant. Mr. F. B. Williams opened tho discussion on tho merits of tlio teaching and was followed by Mis-es Stack and Mor rison. Miss Finnerty read a very excellent articlo on teaching arithmetic from ono of tho educa tional journals. Miss Harnett read an in teresting paper bearing on the samo subject. Superintendent Whitaker raised tlio ques tion, "What is the dillerence between an example aud a problem, and should each bo illustrated by tho pupils?" Problems aro real transactions, while examples deal with the abstract. Examples aro to be done by Well dellned mlos, while problems must bo worked by processes of thought on tho part of the oue solving it. Examples are seldom, if ever, to be illustrated, but problems should be in almost all casos in tho primary grades. .Messrs. Cooper, Burke, Biltt, Lewis and Mc Hale and Miss Finnerty entered into this dis cussion and somo very good points wero brought out. Heath of Mrs. Christian.
