proceedings OF the meeting; very ridiculous and an
wise. The Bishops letter in tolays TRIBUNE gives
little different version OF the affair, bu does not to my
mind make IL appear any better or tho Bishop
lad right to nominate President Grant there. and has
right 10 nominate him II he chooses ai every Conference
he prcsdes and as every meeting lie attends such
action wOud not be ohcns Tor which any Grand jury
would indct him. Tho question is to the cxpediency
OF such In addition to this question the Bishops
statement brings forward another, the a1ysabiity

such object, which good dfcryery widely.
