When Garrett A. Hobart Republican
candidate for Vice-President, ran for
State senator in Passaic county n. j.,
on the Republican ticket in ls79, his OPP
ponent on the Democratic ticket for the
same Office was Garrett A. Hopper. There
were two "Garret AS" IN the field, and,
as Mr. Hobart the Republican Carrot A,
received $500 votes. and Mr.. Hopper. the
Democratic Garrett A. received $3.50, the
Democratic Garrett A. was more in the
field, so to speak, than his Republican
adversary, who was elected.

QUADRENNIAL CONFERENCE.
The Woman Delegate Question Referred
Back to the Churches to Vote on.

Cleveland. o., May 7.-Today's session
of the acknowledgement conference
was presided over by Bishop Haas, and
the devotional services were led by the
Rev. ID. y. BrOdbeck, of Charleston,
| Mass.
AS soon as some routine business had
been disposed of. the order of the day
was taken up and DR.. W. J. Kynett.
chairman of the committee on eligibility.
was recognized and presented the report
OF the committee. which had been re-
terred to them by the conference at yes
terday's session. The committee is
agreed that the eligibility of women to
vote in this convention is constitutional.
and the conference has the power to in
tcrpret the constitution. The committee
recommended the modification of the
the constitution, changing the qualifca-
tons of a delegate to the general confer
ence. by using the words lay delegates,
instead of laymen, thereby making the
admission of women legal
We report, further, that this proposed
amendment be referred to the annual
conferences of the following year and
that a two-thirds vote of the general con-
ference and three-fourths vote of the an
nual conference be required to enact this
recommendation into Il law.
AS soon as the report was completed
DR.. Kynet moved its adoption.
Rev. j. B. Graw of Trenton n. j., said
the only way to admit women is by con-
stitutional amendment.
President W. w. Warren of Boston
university was the next speaker and pre-
scented the following as a substitute for
all before the house:
"ResOlved. That in view of the known
Of la nj ~ 81,
istry and laity on this question. and also
in view of the known scruples of con-
science entertained by Il devoted and es-
teemed minority touching the scriptural
ness of the equal eligibility and author
ity of men and women in the government
of the church of God, we hereby invite
the members of the annual conference
to vote at their regular session in the
year 1869 upon this question"
Then follows the paragraph as
amended to admit women.
The last resolution is as follows:
"Resolved. That in view of the mani
fest malignity of the actions and omis-
sions of action on the part of previous
general conferences relative to the eligi-
bility of women, and in view of the
grave dissensions which their admission
by a judicial vote of this conference
would precipitate we believe it prema-
ture and unwise to decide at this time
the judicial question involved as to
change in any wise the present status of
the four women elected in good faith by
the electoral conferences
Judge J. l.. Mains of Brooklyn moved
to lay it on the table. This motion was
carried by Il large majority.
After Il sharp debate of an hour the
report of the committee was adopted and
by vote of 425 to 9S the question was
referred back to the churches to be voted
on again.
After the transaction of other minor
business the conference adjourned.

SOUND MONEY MEN WARNED.
Hon. L. C. Alexander of Waco issues
an Address Anent Primaries.

Waco. Tex, May Hon. L. G.
Alexander. as a sound money leader,
came out in warning tonight TO sound
money Democrats TO abstain fro partlc-
i pating in the primaries called for the
10Th instant by Fields of the county
executive committee. He says:
'To the Sound Money Democrats of
McLennan County-As IA member of the
executive committee of the state, | deem
it within my province and duty to issue
the following address. Considering the
attitude of the Dudley committee and
that of the sound money convention at
Democrat should participate in the
county primaries to be held in McLen-
nan county on May 1G. My understand
ing is that every man who participates
in said primaries must pledge himself to
support the state ticket, meaning the
state ticket to be named by the Dudley
convention. | am futher advised that
an emissary of CulbersoD, paid by the
state, has been in this county recently
proposing to print Il state ticket with
Culberson's name and probably other
administration candidates on said
tickets. Now it is obvious to any man
with common sense, who concurs in the
recent action in Dallas, that he can not
vote in primary Of this kind without
stnltifying himself. 1t might be well
for the candidates for county offices to
see thar all such pledges should be left
of so that county officers might be
selected with reference to their capacity
and efficiency, without regard to their
opinions on the money question. My
advice, which is entirely free, is that no
man who contends for sound money
should make himself a party to com
pact where the decision is already
against him. The Fields convention is a
Dudley convention by his public expires,
sion, and no sound money man who
concurs in the recent proceedings at
Dallas can have anything to do with it
without self qualification.
tSlgned) l.. G. ALEXANDER.
vi Executive Committee of Sound
Money Democrats.
The sound money leaders are making
strenuous efforts to keep their followers
out of the primary while the county
candidates are eXerting pressure to have
the primaries, as far as they are con-
cerned, kept free from the silver dues
