MEETING or NEXT CONVENTION.
Rev. Dr. Talbot Of Ia. said twas wclIkno~n
that in the last DAYS Of the session the attend
ancc of members was thin, and especially IN
reference to Western members, who leave for
their homes lir thought ii important that the
resolution he proposed 10 offer should receive
the vote OF tall house, and hc. therefore, now
offered Ia" following resolution:
Resolved The House oi Bishops concnrrir",
that ,he next tri.eanial meeting oi the Conrc;.
ton be !.ell Il, 81. james Church, Chicago.
\ neputy hoped the gentleman would strike
on, Chicago and insert Cincinnati.
Nj Chambers of Nd. moved 10 postpone
thr consideration Of the resolution for the pre-
sent.
Rev. Dr.. GARRISON. Of H., was opposed to
the po>tponcmcnt, because it was absolutely
certain il il were postponed for any length Of
time the Convention would be less TAI az! the
West would lose strength. He said AL the
former conventions had been held III the East,
once only barely crossing the MECHANICS 10
Cincinnati He gave q glowing description Of
the progress Of the Great West OF the advan-
tagcS which would arise irom holding the Con
yeution in Chicago and Of the encouragement
il would give to The Missionaries of the church.
IN the West lucn who lor endurance, .ol au'F>;'-
cri.icc are doing more for The Church OF jesus
than men q! any other are. Why should II 20
East? New York does not care Tor il; Phlla-
,lepiia doc, not care for it, General Convcn-
tons in those cities are Of no more interest
than cattle drove Laughter They have
seen them over and do not want to see them
again
Rev. pr Talho; regarded Chicago aS type
of the whole Wc>.. The West had the right
to claim the Convention. and he hoped i, would
60 there
Mr.. Davis. Of California, reminded his rev.
rcnd friend who had just taken bis scat, tina;
ST. Paul, after he had seen III hlS vhion The
clorcS al the third and fourth aad c"en the

mcrc Western city. II such considerations
were TO govern the Convention in the selection
OF 4 place OF meeting. they mast 60 10 san
Francisco lie believed, however. that New
York was the city where the Convention shon'd
meet, In point of fact, New York or PhlaIy!-
phia were the only two cities where the Con
vcntiou should ever meet. lie did not thin. It
necessary for the Convention to consume time
with the subject at this stagcof lis proceedings,
and moved 10 lay the resolution on the table.
The motion was not agreed to.
Rev. DR.. Coming of Michigan, said the object
of the meeting Of tic Genera! Convention OF
the Church once in three years was precisely
the same as that Of the meetings 81 the rcspcc.
tive ,!jocc>cS. 1t was 10 transact the business
OF the church, and It should come together at
JUS, such points as is calculated TO produce the
best impression upon that partlcuar city or
, diocese; but lac desired 10 20 West, not 10: the
purpose Of mui;ing AN Impression upon Chi
ca-o or Illinois merely, but upon the whole
/ length and breadth OF our beloved nation.-
/ Other DENOMINATIONS had held their general
meetings in the far West. and lie desired that
the Protestant Episcopal Church Should show
Itself there III is strength.
Mr.. Evans Of Nd, thought the object of the
meeting OF The General Convention was /" dis
charge sworn duty, and the reason why hcpr
fcrrcd New York was. that in that city they
would be less interrupted with o>:niaitic, than
in any place hc knew. In any sinai! city the
hoSpital!tcs Of the place would bring disturbing
( Influences into tho Church. The Congress Of
the United States did not t,avc round 10 Gu
cinnati, Chicago and san Francisco bu' held
their sessions at the point where the documents
on which they were to lcgislatc were, and
where they could best perform the duties Of
legislation The only documents OF which
this Convention is to act are in \cw York and
New York he thought was the best place Of
meeting.
The subject was further discussed BY Rev.
H., i, MI ftif
Of Florida
Mr. Huntington, Of COM. said the entire
Connecticut delegation were in favor Q! liking
Chicago as the place of the meeting q! the
next Convention,
Mr. Evans Of Md, moved 20 St,l" oft thi.
cago and insert New York.
Rev. Mr. Wilmer, oi Va. sucsc>tc'! ;lat the
resolution ought 10 read Resolved the Bis
hops o? Illinois concurmag.' instead Of "thc
House OF Bishops concuIring." We "ush; not 10
90 into mans diocese unless We are certain Of
finding him At home Great laughter
The Secretary suggested that it had not
been usual 10 fix the particular church Ill
whitiI the Convention was TO meet
Rev. DR.. Talbot had mentioned 81. Johns
Church because 1t WAS the only one in Chicago
large enough to accommodate the Convention
Mr. Grady, Of 5 G., opposed III" resolution
and moved to postpone it.
The motion was not agreed 70.
Mr. Newton called for the vote on the rcSo-
luton by dioccSes and orders.
Mr. .AllSton, Of s. c., suggested that il would
he better for the West to postpone this matter
for day or two until two new Western do
ccses should be admitted.
Rev DR.. Talbot preferred that the vote
should be taken now.
The vote by dioccseS and orders was called
for on the amendment substituting New York
for Chicago.
The vote was taken and the amendment lost.
The Committee on DloccScs here, by gen.
eral consent, submitted repor, accompanied
by resolution that Minnesota be admitted ~
