Judging from the account OF the
Kansas City Times, the widest cx-
element prevailed over the nomi-
nation for Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction. at the conclusion
Of the first roll call which stood
Norton so, Frazier 81, ETC.. q dozen
delegates sprang to the floor at
once to change their votes. Great
confusion and excitement prevailed.
The clerks got bewildered, whole
delegations were changed over to
Fraser when but one vote was in-
tended ID be changed. Delegates
were, i'll some instances, counted as
changed when they were not on the
floor. The Times correspondent
had no doubt but that Norton had
q majority OF the votes, and the
President SO decided. He was told
that this was incorrect aud reversed
his decision and declared Fraser
nominated by a vote of 81 to 81.
This vas greeted with shouts of ap-
proYai and screams of dissent. The
assistant Secretary and by-sta uders
thought the roll incorrect, but des-
pite all attempts at corrections and
appeals to the chair, he insisted that
Fraser was nominated and refused
anappeGl from this decision. We
may add that an hour and q half
later, when the approaching depart
Ure of tho train had called away the
northern Kansas delegations, who
stood almost solid for Mr.. Norton,
it Suddenly occurred to the chSir-
man that new vote ought TO be
taken This, of course, resulted in
a small majority for Fraser. The
whole thing looked like a put up
job, discre6itable to Mr.. Thacher
and Injurious TO the party. How
ever, IA Mr.. Norton seems TO feel
little regret or anger, we suppose
the rest of us can afford to submit. |

NEW YORK, July IA Tribune re-
porter has interviewed Mr.. Cleveland,
who said rilton and Beecher are pre-
parlng statement, which will be sub
mitted to the committee Thursday, and
which will satisfactorily explain all
correspondence between them and all
other matters contained In Tilton's
statement No long statement will be
furnished tonight Abiding to the
yoluminous sworn statement of Hilton
accusing Beecher, the Tribune says the
ease now transcends the power of
church conferences or well meaning
marplots to settle or conceal, Unless
the frightlul exposition is answered
promptly and freely, the most famous
pulpit since Paul preached in Athens
is silenced. There is no longer safety
and dignity in q refusal to answer.
Beecher's own hand seems to bear wit
ness against him. Satisfactory proof
of the falsity Of the accusation will be
hailed as tidiugs of great joy, and the
position of the great preacher will be
stronger than ever in the hearts OF
thousands. If he fails TO clear himself,
all christendom will deplore his loss,
and the pistol shot Of Booth will have
caused no deeper and not so hopeless
a national sorrow.
