The MethOdiStS.

CLEVELAND, O., May 19.-Bishop
Bowman presided over the Methodist
General Conference, probably for the
last time this morning. None of the
great questions to be settled by the
conference have yet been discussed on
the floor.
Rev. Charles L. Stafor, of Iowa, put
the conference in great uproar by
moving that the election of bishops be
indefinitely postponed for the reason
that they are not needed.
Rev. James R. Mace, of New Jersey,
said: 81 hope the motion to postpone
will prevail. 1t is plainly apparent
that we have no Episcopal timber in
the conference-there is no man who
looms up high enough to secure the in
dorsement."
After an exciting debate the motion
to postpone the election of bishops in
definitely was defeated.
Rev. DIR. A. ]. Palmer started an ex-
citing discussion by reporting from the
committee on state of the church a res
olution authorizing the licensing of
evangelists and for the placing OF re-
strctions upon travelling evangelists.
Rev. DR.. Robert Forbes, of Duluth,
said that people were getting converted
too fast. 'In some places all you have
to do is to hold up your hand and
shout "Come to Jesusr' and you are
saved. 1t will be soon so that you may
get saved by sending your cabinet
photograph and having it baptized.
Salvation will soon be on sale by tele-
phone and telegraph" The report was
adopted.
Chaplain C. c. McCabe was elected
bishop on the fifteenth ballot and Earl
Cranston came within nine votes OF
election.
On the 10th ballot Earl Cranston was
elected bishop.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1886.

WHILE THERE are some old time
democrats who don't hesitate to "speak
out in meeting" the faith that IS in the
vast majority of the party is so strong
that they don't like to crisicise adj
versely the man they have nominated
and elected as their President, and it is
shrewdly suspected that the reason
that induces so many of them to favor
cheap money, is really, not that they
wouldn't prefer gold coin, but that they
are sick and tired of Mr.. Cleveland, and
manifest their feeling toward him by
opposing his currency policy; they Sc
lect the good money he favors, rather
than himself, as the object of their pub
lie denunciation.
