The ablest delegates, lay and clerical, partici- pated in the discussion, and, while the women did mot lack for champions among the orators, it turned out, as often before, that good speeches are not alone convincing enough to make votes, It is probable that the conference took the wisest course in the matter. There were grave doubts as to its power to sanction a new departure that would be in effect a revolution without some aos thorative indication that the Methodist body favored it. The lack of any expression upon the subject from at least nine-tenthe of the conferences represented furnished the gtrongest argument for making haste lowly in a matter of such serious mo- ment, a week, a vote of refused to between BLAINE A CANDIDATE.

Senator Ingalls renewed his attack on dead Union generals, although he was compelled to admit that, so far as Han cock was concerned, his only sin was that of being a Democrat in politics. From the Ingalls standpoint this is doubtless an unpardonable sin; but as at least balf the voters of the United States are guilty of the same sin, it is hard to see what Senator Ingalls is going to do about it, unless he avd his bloody shirt Republican comrades decide to flock by themselves. It would have beea much more manly on the part of the Kansas senator if he had selected living mon as the targets of his sarcasm, but he seems to have a penchant for assailing the dead and perhaps he can’t help it. He seems to have been built that way.—Philad Times. burns, . Frank Collins, of 8t. Cloud, Minn, will probably smoke a pips hereafter.

He will al wo pay his respects to Mr. Ingalls in a manner which his friends say will afford his audience great delight. Senator Voorhees is rapidly recovering his health.
