The Revision Committee--The Closing
Day and Its Interesting Features.
BY United Press.)
SARATOGA, May 27.-The report of the
committee on the freedmen as to al
lowing colored Presbyteries to appeal di-
rectly to the other boards, was against
the request. The report was taken up.
DR.. Booth opposed discrimination and
thought one Presbytery was as good as
another. To place the colored Presby-
teries in separate category was unfair,
and while it was done the manhood Of
the colored people was impugned aud
they could not feel at home in the Pres
byterian church. He moved that the
request be granted.
The vote was taken on Dr.. Booths
amendment and the call of division set
tied it in the affirmative. The vote
stood $50 to 145, and was taken amid
considerable excitement.
The nominating committee announced
the following as the committee which is
