NEW YoRK. MAY a. Bishop r. u
Andrews presided ut this morning sss
sion of the Methodist conference nv
order OF the day was a discussion OF ''l'
report of the committee upon the eiisr
bility Of women as lay delegates TO Tue
conference. The committee yesterday
reported against their admission :,
Rev. DIR. Pendleton, OF Kansas moved
that the women whose seats are CON
tested be given seats on the hoor our
inc the debate. Objections were raised
and after considerable discussion the
motion was lost. a..
When the vot.5 was being taken mrs;
Merry q. Mind. OF Minnesota presllen'
of the Womens Foreign Missionary 81
ciety, stood up to vote, Upon ooIeo'
ton her vote was rejected
Lengthy speeches followed pro Hnu
con upon the report of the committee,
Rev. DIR. ii. Buckley, editor oi inc
Christian Advocate, and one. OF ths
STRONGEST onnonents 10 the admission OF
women. said that the question does not
turn upon the rights OF women, but
mon principles. The EpiseopaliansS,
Bantists and Preshyterians did not AL,
init women into their conferences, and
there was not denomination ~ the
world that would admit women. There
is nothing IN the constitution OF the
church that gives them the right to q
seat. The speaker said he stood 70
champion the holy cause OF women nus
also stood to challenge the rSht OF
women TO representation in that body
until a number of their sex had an oop-
portunity TO express an opinion on the
subject. The speaker claimed that
every time a woman was put IN lesis'
lative body, man was put out TO NO adj
vantage Of that body.
A dozen members of the conferences
from all parts of the country took de-
cidedly opposite views on the question.
The whole afternoon was spent IN the
appointment OF standing committees
and their organizations.

The convention Of the democrats OF
Nebraska 10 choose delegates TO the ma
tioual democratic convention to be held
IN ST Louis, and to transact such other
business as might properly come before
the assembly, was held in Omaha on the
9d inst. Chairman james Z, North

Beatty, OF Adams county, was chosen
temporary chairman. Subsequently the
temporary organization was made per-

and may be hypocrtical. Again, "To
try to run party which elects nobody
and by the very failure of its effort de-
feats principle is shameful" 1t may seem
to many like hard comment on history
to say of movement that the "failure
of an effort in its behalf "defeats the
principle" If that is so, a large portion
of the worlds history will need to be re-
written. But be that as it may. Mark
these words, ''To try to run party
which elects nobody is shame
full" Is that so, Prof. Wager? | don't
want to say that; don't want to believe
that. | don't want to say because the
Republican party elected nobody on its
presidential ticket in 1884, that it was
"shamefuf' to run the party. | don't
want to say it was "shameful' to run the
Liberty party in 1910 because it elected
nobody. Was it a shame to run the Free
Soil party in 1913 and 1852 simply be-
cause they elected nobody? Was it a
shame to run the new party organized in
1856 with J. c. Fremont as leader simply
because he was not elected? Tell us,
professor. was the failure to elect the
"Pathtinder' defeat of principle?
The final statement of "error' No. is,
81 will not put aside my principle, which
is as dear TO me as life itself, and vote
with the so-called third party to help put
in power another Democratic or Cleve-
land administration" | do not know
why this "so-called third party should
come into the conclusion thus abruptly,
as it is not found in the premises of this
discussion. But no matter: we will pass
that. As to the professors desire to help
prevent continuation of the Democratic
party in the Presidency of our country |
shall not complain. There are thousands
who will be glad to labor with him for
the same end. Crank error No. is
concerned with the temperance question
in the main. What | want to know is,
whether the professors refusal to vote
with the 'so-called third party will help
the cause of the prohibition of the liquor
traffic. That will depend somewhat on
what party he will support. If he is
prepared to make his declarations on this
point, and make them where they may
be reached, ! will agree to discuss with
him the question whether the party for
which he will vote will, as party, favor
and effect $50 far. of course, as it is hon
estly possible) the prohibition of the sale
and use of Intoxicating liquors except for
proper purposes. If this is the point of
crank error No. g." let us have it defin-
itely and clearly and then we will give it
direct and plain consideration.
