in the abse ce of Bishop Bowman. In
calling the conference to order, he ex
pressed the hope that the days exercises
would be conducted with a greater de-

yesterdays deliberations. To this OBJ
ject he delivered an earnest prayer that
the members might be properly directed
by wisdom from the Almighty, but
scarcely was the crisp prayer delivered
than dozen members were on their
feet, seeking recognition from the pre-
siding officer The tumultuous scenes
of Monday had broken loose again, and
even in a worse form. They wanted
the record corrected in reference TO
their votes on the question of separating
the delegates. Several corrections were
made in the minutes Of the first day.

an old gentleman residing in this city,
is short 81, 100 in hard cash. When he
went home he hung his coat on nail in
a room adjoining his bedchamber. In a
coat pocket was a small pocketbook
with ten crisp 800 bills and two $50
bills. A sneak thief lifted the valuable
purse and departed for some other cline.
There is no clew to the robber. Mr..

Still Hounding Harrison.

NEW YORK, May ct is said that
before the week is out the Republican
leaders of the state will have important
conferences with the anti Harrison men
at Washington, the object being to de-
feat the denomination of Harrison. The
battle must be fought within thirty
days if at all. The New York Republi-
cans intend, first of all, says morning
paper, to confer with Mr.. Blaine and
ask him to write no more letters on the
subject of his candidacy. The New
York Republicans do not propose to ac-
cept this letter as final.

he could not be heard.
Bishop Foster requested delegates to
leave seats to which they were not en-
titled, but no one moved. DR.. Kynett
moved that the roll of conferences al
ready seated be called and each confer
ence rise as called. and so indicate what
seats were properly filled by delegates
and which were improperly occupied.
Elk Governor Evans of Colorado, arose
to call attention to the fact that 120
seats had been assigned to 190 lay dele
gates.
Some of the laymen who had voted
against the separate seating had subse-
quently taken seats among the laymen,
and the space assigned to them was not
sufficient to seat them all. There were
countless minor disputes about the oc-
cupation of partic liar seats.
When all the delegations that were
seated the previous day had been again
called and disputes Strengthened out,
the seating of other unseated delegations
began. Bishop Foster said that he
would be obliged to call Bishop An
drews to the chair in order to rest his
voice in order that he could deliver the

that arrived 1t was decided to post

equal size was appointed on the Ep-
worth League.
The discussion On these two subjects
indicated that the conference is very
deeply interested in both subjects, and
radical action is anticipated. Many of
the delegates declare that the temper
ance cause was one of the most impor-
tant matters to be considered by the
conference, and that the Epworth league
had become one of the vital arms of the
church, and should be fittingly recog-
nized by the conference.
Among other things suggested was a
change in the arrangement of the dis
cipline. No material change was re-
commended in the rules or in the word

thought the book could be arranged to

Moseley sent Marshal Walker to the
committee with the statement that
the committee would adjourn until
5 o'clock, To this proposition some
of the members objected on the
grounds that the committee having
been officially called it could not be
adjourned in that way, but in order
to be regular the Committee should
be called to order and adjourned by
motion and on a vate Of the members
Marshal Walker disappeared, when
Chairman Moseley appeared and
stated that the Committee would ad-
journ until 5 o'clock.
A member OF the Comm ttee made
the point that Chairman could not
adjourn The Committee except on
moiion and by vote.
Chairman Moseley's response was
that no quorum was present. The
member insisted that quorum was
present and that he demanded a roll
call.
DIR. Moseley said he would ad-
journ the meeting as he wanted the
members of the Committee to vacate
his private room.

Rumors were flying thick and fast
yesterday about the Republican split

reports in about half an hour, but
the facts as gathered from several

The Committee, when it first met,
adjourned for want OF quorum.
When it reassembled Secretary A.
Fl. Wilson was removed and new
one elected.
The Committee recommended for

last night, one at Dorsett's Hall,
where the anti Toseley crowd held
forth, and the other in the Hall ad
joining it which was held by the

%cLEvELAND AND sILvRR.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-The Richmond Times,
Democrat, explains what Is meant by
the resolutions passed by Democratic
conventions in favor of free silver. The
Times declares that the Democratic
party wants silver remonetized but
they want an honest dollar with one
dollars worth of bullion but does not
want the Bland dishonest dollar. This
is what John Sherman has advocated
for ten years, and now comes along the
Democratic party and tries to steal
honest Johns thunder. Wall and
Lombard street has owned John Sher-
man since 1869, and now have com
plete control of the Democratic party.
If 20 cents of silver make a dishonest
dollar, how much honesty is there In a
United States and national bank note
that has but little intrinsic value9 This
editor knows that a silver dollar Will
buy twice as much of the ~necesaarles
of life as it would in 1865 1t will buy
66 per cent. more than it would In 1873.
The bullion In a silver dollar will buy
nearly one hundred per cent. mor cot
ton than it would In 1873, 1t will buy
one hundred per cent. more wheat than
it would in 1868 Democratic and Re-
publican politicians who are bowling
about honest money, do not breathe an
honest breath. They knowAll money
has increased in purchasing power
since 1865. They know this is the di-
rect result of pernicious legislation
They know that money is valuable in
proportion to the work it will perform,
and it is immaterial what the money
is made of. They know that a silver
dollar with sixty nine cents worth of
silver bullion In it made a legal tender
will make exchanges, pay as much
taxes and debts as a gold dollar. They
know that if it had 8 dollars worth of
silver in it it would not do any more.
They know that a United States and
bank note IL as valuable as an ex-
changer of values as agold dollar. The
Democratic politicians know that their
party has abandoned every position
formerly occupied on free coinage of
silver, and they now stand on John
Sherman's platform The Peoples
party Is the only one that demands an
honest dollar and proposes legislation
in the interest of the Industrial class.
The Democratic party is run in the in
terest of English moneyloaners.
