tween lotteries of Chicago Endeavorers
since the incipiency of the California
excursion, has eliminated in open agi-
tation. One faction was headed by Rev
G. S. Bullock, editor of the Christian
Endeavorer the other by E. A Ran
som, who represented the Golden
Rule" followers. En- route to San Fran
cisco the Chicagoans split at Denver
on the Sunday travelling question, the
Bullock party arriving at Salt Lake
City on Saturday evening and the Ran
som on Sunday evening. AT this point
the banners, Illinois Endeavorers, -
hung from the Bullock" coaches, were
taken by the Ransom people with the
plea that the former did not officially
represent the Illinois delegation. The
Bullock passengers were all Illinois En-
deaVorers, and maintained their right
to organize a separate California bound
excursion, and to so designate them
selves on their coaches. The banners,
however, were not recovered.
