WILL HE, OR WILL HE NOT?
PROBABILITY OF BLAINE LEADING
THE REPUBLICAN HOSTS.

"Rhst" CIarkson Believes Mr.. BIaine's
Florence Letter Was Final. and thai
the Reports of His Desire for the Nom
nation Are False.
CHICAGO, May Among Mr.. Blaine's
friends in the city Saturday, were Gen.
Clayton and J. s. Clarkson, and they
agree that he has not given his consent
to the New York managers to use his
name. ~ don't know anything about
it," said Mr.. C%larkson, who does not
need any n to vouch for his fealty to
Blaine, ''but I should say that the origin
of b a New York dispatch to a Demo-
cratic paper is sufficient to show its unre-
liability. Republican papers would know
It before Democratic papers if Mr.. Blaine
should change his position. 1 would
give 1t as my opinion that il anything
does come from Mr.. Blaine it will not be
until a few days before the convention.
l was surprised while in the east, how
ever, to find that Mr., Blaine is stronger
than ever before. Many of his old friends
have accepted his letter and consider it
as having taken him completely out of
the race, but q great many people who
have not supported him heretofore are
for him now. While l am among those
who think that he should, and that he
will, prove the sincerity of his letter of
withdrawal, I am not of those who are
disparaging the motives of many Repub-
l1cans who still regard him as the neces-
safy for 'SS, They believe that by his
strength on the question of protection
and his popularity with the Irish people
he can poll $4,000 more votes thar any
other candidate in New York state, and
that he would also be stronger in New
Jersey and Connecticut. While a major
1ty of the Republicans are still talking
Blaine, 1t was q notabls fact that those
whom l saw depend largely on his sup
port of the ticket to make it's success GER
tain. Therefore, whether we are for
Blaine, Allison, Gresham, or any one
else, we should all be in favor of party
unity and party peace. ] was gratified
by the universal feeling in the east In
favor of putting behind the party all
of our factional troubles and uniting in
this convention in such good party spirit
that whoever is nominated can have his
nomination made unanimous in the con-
yention by every delegate and q rising
vote. There is but one sentiment in the
east-that any man who breaks this
party peace, or who seeks to nominate
himself by pulling q competitor down,
Will not be the successful candidate"

obtain, and that the evil results of sin,
though a penalty, are not a punishment.

NEW YORK, May bishop Hurst de-
cided on the point of order OH Saturday
that DIR. Buckley could not continue his
speech.
The committee on fraternal delegates
reported that they had arranged for a re-
ception to the foreign delegates Tuesday
evening.
Bishop Andrews made the
ment OF committees appointed by the
bishop.
Gen. Fiske took the floor In favor of
Women as delegates. He said there was
nothing in the law of the church which
says lay delegates shall not be women.
IL would be revolutionary to turn women
out by o vote of the general conference,
and the church could not afford to ex-
clude them. "Are we 81 cowardly,'' -.

conference and secretary of the church
extension society, favored the admission
of women, and said that the Baptists and
Congregationalists admitted them to
their conferences.
Rev. ID. FL. Moore, OF the Colorado con-
ference, commended that women should
not be admitted. He offered a substitute
to all the previous substitutes. 1t was
to the effect that the eligibility of women
lay delegates having been challenged on
constitutional grounds, it was of the most
Importance that no doubt should exist in
regard to the introduction of women
without giving an Interpretation to the
rule of the church and disclaiming all in
tention Of establishing q precedent by the
action now proposed by the resolution.
The substitute further provided that dur
ing October, 1890, ageneral election shall
be held il each church, and That all mem
bers be called upon to vote either for or
against the admission of women as lay
delegates. Should a majority of the
church be in favor of the admission of
women as lay delegates, then the gem
eral conference in 1892 can complete the
change.
Unexpectedly Rev. A. G. Pendleton
moved the previous question.
The motion was recorded and it looked
asif the question would be settled then
and there. Considerable excitement ex-
listed while the vote was being taken,
when the announcement was made 1t was
discovered that the motion was lost.
The vote stood lS2 ayes, 1877 nays.
