time has come when this conference shall
| protect our interests.
DR.. Lsnahau rose to a quesHo1'of pr:vi-
| lage. The scenes he had Witnessed here
this morning reminded him of scene wit
messed in New York. when he was in room
locked up with fifteen men, and he felt as
if he would be torn in pieces because be
had charged that the Western Book Con-
Germ had bee n robbed. He had heard the
same CRY then as to misrepres entation.
| DR.. Hitchcock was not the Methodist Epis-
eopal Church, ncr was Dr.. Walden. They
| were servants of the church. He had
| entire confidence in Dr.. SainAle, and
| that he (Shlnkle fully believed in what
he had asserted. bus examining the books
was q very nice question. John Jacob
Aston and Marshall y. Roberts had indors-
ed the books of William M. Tweed as all
right, but does not every one remember
what occurred afterwards. DR.. Lanahan
was proceeding to read statement show
ing the annual losses OF the Book Concern
for several year, when Mr.. O'Neai sub
mitted point of order that the statement
being read by DR.. Lanahan was not ger
main to the question before the conference,
viz.-the resolution offered by DR.. Waldon.
The chair, Bishop Foster, ruled the point
Of order well taken
Mr.. Hendricks, of New J ersey. moved Dr..
LapAhsn be permitted to proceed.
DR.. Hunter and several others spoke on
the latter motion, and after On understand
ing that the permission to proceed should
not be regarded as everything the decision
Of the chair, The motion Of Dr.. Hendricks
prevailed.
DR.. Lsnahan res unled, and said to get at
the facts it was only necessary 10 pass
resolution to require certain ledger to be
brought here from New York, ledger that
had been thrown aside for fifteen years.
The Methodist Church had been cheated
and swindled by false exhibits. He had
here cnecks to the amount of Si52000
E olen from the Methodist Book Con-
Germ. [Dr. Lanahan here held up in
full view what seemed package
of checks ] No such ar ray of indignation az
was attempted here this morning will
smother the truth; ne was not shut up here
in D room as in New York, and while in
vestigation was going on there was another
matter that might be investigates; there
was q document, twO-thirds of which had
been left out of the journal of the proceed
ings of the last conference which should
have been inserted, and this might 90 in
vestigated.
DR.. Waldon's resolutions were then
adopted.
