FOR GOVERNOR.
Blaine’s Name Received with the
Usual Cheers—The Financial Ques
tion Disposed of by Indorsing: the
Present Silver Law Everything
Harmonious.
Ckdar Rapids, la., July I. —One of the
most enthusiastic republican conventions
ever assembled in the state of lowa con
vened in this city at 11 o’clock to-day. It
is felt by both political parties that this
campaign is to be a decisive one, and its
effect on national politics is fully ap
preciated by every politician of the Hawk
eve state. The Republican party is
thoroughly united for the first time in many
years, and to-day’s convention was dis
tinguished by its harmony ar.d good feel

THE GUBERNATORIAL, NOMINEF.
The nomination of Hiram C. Wheeler for
governor was assured in advance, and upon
tue platform there was substantially a re
iteration of the party principles of two
years ago. By arraignment of the Demo
cratic party for connivance with the law
less element In violation and nullification of
the prohibitory law, an attempt is made
to place the party on the defensive In the
coming campaign. The threatened break
over the financial question never came, and
it is likely that the free coinage question
will be almost lost sight of in the other
stirring issues that are to agitate lowa poli
tics for the next four months.
CALLED TO ORDER.
Chairman Mack of the state central com
mittee called the convention to order
promptly at 11 o’clock. Chairman Mack’s
speech was short and crisp. It consisted in
i> luouuciug John Y. Stone of Mills co inty
is temporary chairman. In assum
ing the chair Mr. Stone made
rousing speech of nearly ail
lr’s duration. He was frequently inter
ned by applause, but the culminating
was reached when the name of James
ainu was uttered. "There is but one
cecity,” said he, “and James G.
•e is its prophet.” At the first
lion of Secretary Blaine the loy
of the Hawkeye republicans
. the man from Maine was more than
. ■: const rated. Cheer after cheer arose from
vast audience and the ladies in the
tileries went wild with their political
others in their manifestation for reci
>city and admiration for the distinguished
c.otary of State.
COMMITTEES APPOINTED.
At the conclusion of the temporary chair
man’s speech the new state central com
mittee and various committees of the con
vention were appointed. The convention
took a recess until 2 o’clock to allow the
committee time to discharge their duties.
Ex-Congressman John H. Gear was
selected as permanent chairman.
The platform as Dually adopted indorses
tlie McKinley taritf law in the wannest
terms, aud particularly commends the rec
iprocity provision and its interpretation
aid observation by President Harrison and
Secretary of State Blaine. Liberal pen
sions to disabled soldiers and their widows
are urged.
THE FINANCIAL, QUESTION.
Tbe fiuaucial question is briefly disposed
of by indorsement of the present sliver law,
of which Mr. Conger of lowa has the credit
of being the author. President Harrison’s
administration is indorsed, and the
large appropriations of the last
congress are defended as hav
ing been necessary for the ful
fillment of the obligations, welfare
and development of tbe country. The
prohibition plauk of jthe platform of last
year is reaffirmed, and the Democratic
arty and | democratic local officials are
arraigned for conspiring with the law
breaking element for violation and uon
bservance of the prohibitory law.
iowa’s represkn tatives indorsed.
The course of lowa’s senators and repre
sentatives in tbe national congress is com
mended, arid particular eulogy is extendel
Senator Allison for his liberal and Datriotic

Immediately after tbe reconvening of the
convention permanent chairman Gear was
iitroduced and mado a brief speech, pre
iioting the party’s success on the tariff and
ecd issues. The nomination of state offi
cers was then declared in order, and the con
vention declared that no nominating

BIRIK3 OF THE MINERS.
The Non-Union Men in the Strikers’
Places Guarded by Militia.
Franklin, Wash., July I.—Yesterday
was a day of quietness aud mourning in
the camp of the strikers. The funerals of
the men killed in Sunday’s riot occupied
nearly the entire day, services being held
here in the morning, and the interment be
ing at Black Diamond, four miles distant,
in the afternoon. Every white miner in the
camp marened in procession, an escort of
military being furnished to protect them
wnile passing through 'he black camp. A
patrol was also put on the flats to protect
the homes of the white miners during their
abs-nce, as the negroes had threatened to
seize the first opportunity of cleaning out
the homes of the strikers. Four hundred of
them stood behind the lines of soldiers
when the bodies were being placed on a flat
car for transportation to Black Diamond,
but not a word was spoken on either side.
MORE TROUBLE FEARED.
Reportß from Castle, Black Diamond and
Gilman lead the authorities to fear more
trouble before long. There are now nearly
200 i egroes at work at New Castle, the
number taken there Sunday having been
augmented since. The strikers have done
nothing yet, but are reported to
be making secret preparations for
some decisive move. A special train
is being kept at Franklin ready to move the
troops to Newcastle, thirty miles away, ou a
moments notice. At Black Diamond, wnen
tho miners first struck six weeks ago, it
was not because of any dissatisfaction with
the Black Diamond Coal Company, bub be
cause of sympathy with the miners who had
been driven out by the negroes taken into
Franklin by the Oregon Improvement Com
pany, and it was supposed that the men
would return to work as soon as matters
cooled down.
FAILED TO AGREE.
A week ago the miners agreed to return
upon the old terms, but yesterday they noti
fied the superintendent that if they returned
the miners’ union must have the employing
and discharging of men. This the superin
tendent refused to accede to, and immedi
ately posted a notice that any white man
wh > should want work may secure it,
whether he belongs to tho union
or not. Black Diamond is only a short dis
tance from Franklin, aud the camps will
probably join forces in fighting the two
corporations. At Gilman the Home Guards,
composed of miners, are drilling daily. The
Seattle Coal and Grain Company has been
sending up a few non-union miners daily,
but they have been met at the train by a
large body of armed men. A large force of
guards and deputy sheriffs is at Gilman for
the purpose of protecting all who wish to
work, but out of the 100 men sent only
eight or ten men have dared to stay
and they have a guard protecting them day
and night. A military guard will be main
tained until the strikers give up the conflict.
A large number of rifles have been shipped
to Gilman from Tacoma. It is thoug.it
that within the next forty-eight hours
every coal mining camp in this section will
be manned by non-union miners working
under the protection of the military
guards.
It is feared that serious trouble will be
the result at all places, as there are over
1,000 strikers who will see in the Introduc
tion of negroes and non-union labor the dis
appearance of their last hope of employ
ment in the mines of King county.
POLLING MILL HANDS STRIKE.
The Adoption of a New Scale the
Cause of the Trouble.
Cleveland, 0., July I.—Six hundred
and fifty employes of the Union and’ Lake
Erie Rolling Mill Companies went out ou
strike this morning. The trouble was all
caused by the adoption of the new goale by
the * Amalgamated Union of iron
and steel workers. This scale provides
that the men worx but nine hours
per dav. Formerly they were paid by the
ton, and it is claimed by the employers that
a good workman could finish his day’s work
in nine hours. Tuesday night a committee
of the workmen consulted with their em
ployers, and the Britton company finally
signed the scale. However, Mr. Fuller of the
Union company and Mr. Lewis of the
Lake Erie company refused to accept the
scale, and a lookout followed. The
strike does not atleot the steel workers,
and the men were at work Wednesday
morning as usual at the Cleveland Rolling
Company’s mills at Newburg. When asked
concerning the strike, an official of the
Union company said that the mill was shut
down for its i egular yearly repairs. He ad
mitted, bowe -er, that the men had quit
work.
PITTSBURG’S CARPENTERS.
A Probability That the Great Strike
Will be Declared Off-
Pittsburg, Pa., July 1. —The great car
penters strike which has caused au almost
total suspension of work for two months in
all buildings in course of erection, and
seriously effected business generally, is
practically over. The employes are weary
of their IODg struggle and if the master
builders will grant them a Saturday half
holiday they will withdraw their demands
for shorter hours and everything else. The
masters are disposed to make this conces
sion and arrangements have beeu made for
a conference to-morrow morning, when it
is confidently expected that the strike will
be declared off.
A DUEL TO THE DEATH.
One of the Proprietors or a News
paper Fatally Wounded.
Birmingham, Ala., July I.—At Brier
field this morning Dr.G. B. Crowe shot and
perhaps fatally wounded B. F. Glass, father
of F. P. Glass, one of the proprietors of the
Montgomery Advertiser. The difficulty
grew out of something Glass had said which
Crowe had desired him to take back. This
morning Crowe went to Glass’ house to
demand a retraction. Glass told him
not to enter, and when he persisted
met him at the door and
warned him. As Crowe, nevertheless ad
vanced Glass fired on him with a Winches
ter rifle. Crowe answered with a pistol.
Each man fired several shots within fifteen
feet of each other. Finally Glass fell and
Crowe walked away. It is believed by the
doctor that the wound is fatal, as one of
the bullets entered the abdomen. Glass is
ou old, widely known and much respeoted
citizen. Crowe is a young man only 27
years of age.
GEN. HILL’S HEMAINd.
The Removal from the Cemetery to
the Monument.
Richmond, Va., July 1. —The remains of
Gen. A. P. Hill were quietly removed this
afternoon from Hollywood cemetery,where
they had rested for the past quarter of a
century, and were placed in a receptacle
at the "base of the monument now being
erected to his mem rv in Henrico county.
The removal was made under the auspi
oos of Pegrara's battallion Association.
Until the monument rises to such a higbt
as to prevent the possibiliy of disturbance
the spot will be constantly guarded by a
detail of veterans from the soldiers dome.
A NEW DEBT STATEMENT.
AN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION OF
THE FORM.
The Statement of the Debt to be
Separated From the Statement of
the Cash in the Treasury—Accrued
Interest and Interest Due and Un
paid to b 9 Elemlnated National
Bank Deposits and Fractional fcllver
on Hand to be Included in the Cash
Balance.
Washington, July 1. —The form of the
national debt statement, issued from the
treasury department to-day, differs materi
ally from that heretofore followed, and the
following is an authoritative explanation
of the change in the form and theTeasons
for it: "The Secretary of the Treasury calls
attention to certain changes in the monthly
debt statement issued for June, 1891, and
in the daily statement of the cash
in the treasury. Heretofore tho manner
and make up of the monthly statement re
quired the showing of an increase or de
crease in the publio debt. Under this form
it has happened on several occasions, that
when largo purchases of bonds were made
the statement following would show an in
crease of the public debt, when a reduction
had really been effected. This was owing to
the faot that the principal and premium
paid for the bonds reduced the cash ou hand
beyond the amount of the bonds actually
redeemed.
THE NEW SCHEME.
"The secretary has concluded, after much
thought ou the subject, to separate the
statement of the debt from the statement of
tlio cash in the treasury. Hereafter the
statement of the cash ou hand will show tho
net increase or decrease from month to
month, and this statement will be
fart of the form now adopted,
n making up tho new statement of
cash in the treasury, the figures will
plainly show the different kinds of money
included in the total. Against this total
will be stated the cash liabilities. This part
of the new form will take the place of the
assets and liabilities statement here
tofore issued by the treasurer. In
foriiier debt statements the accrued interest
and interest due and unpaid have appeared
as current liabilities. These items have
been eliminated. The secretary holds that
if accrued interest may be charged as a
liability against the cash, then with equal
propriety the acorued liability for the con
struction of public buildings or for im
provements of rivers and harbors may be
so charged.
THE MATURED DEBT ITEM.
"The matured debt item is made up of the
remnant of bonds and other forms of in
debtedness remaining unpaid from the
foundation of the government. It is As
sumed that less than 25 per cent, of these
will ever be presented for pay
ment. They are now, as heretofore,
carried on the debt statement, but not as'm
liability against tbe cash. The secretary
also calls attention to the items of liability
against the eash|in the treasury, coraiosed,
first, of the 5 per cent, fund held for tge re
demption of uncurrent national bank notes,
which sum oan only bo reduced by
the retirement of national bank
circulation. The secretary thinks this
amount ought by law to be
covered into the treasury as was done re
cently with the fund for the redemption of
failed and retired national banks. The
probability is that this sum will bo increased
during the coming year instead of being
reduced.
OTHER ITEMS.
"Second, the item of outstanding checks
and drafts, which rarely ever falls below
$5,000,000.
“Third, disbursing officers’ balances now
amounting to about $34,000,000. This
money is in the treasury and in govern
ment depositaries to the credit of the dig
buring officers and seldom falls below the
present amount.
“Fourth, agency accounts, made up
mainly of postal revenues and sub
ject to draft of tbe postmaster
feneral. This, too. rarely falls below
.5,000,000. These four items amount
to $50,030,000, and if held by banks could
be safely loaned up to nine-tenths of the
total sum. ,
THE CASH BALANCE.
‘Ti’e secretary will not hereafter deduct
from his cash balance he amount on deposit
in national banks nor fractional- silver coin
ou hand. He thinks mere is no good reason
why this should ever have been done. To
day's statement embraces tbe following
items: Debt on which interest has
ceased since maturity $1,614,705 26, debt
bearing no intere-t 3394.002,735 So. This
includes legal tender notes, remnants of
old demand notes, national bank
notes, redemption account and
fractional currency, certificates
and notes issued on deposits of coin and
legal tender notes and purchases of silver
bullion $540,190,031. This includes the items
of gold, silver and currency cer
tificates and treasury notes
of 1890, bullion purchase notes;
interest bearing debt $610,329,120; aggre
gate of debt $1,545,996 61. The total cash
in the treasury is stated at $745,349,751 63;
Cash balanoe $153,893,808 83, being a de
crease during the month of June of $4,992,-
909 14. In the cash balance is included
$100,000,000 gold reserve.

the chairmen of the state oommittees:
National Democratic! okmittee, I
New York, July 1, 1891. f
Dear Si*-The importance of immediate
preparations for the preeideu'.al campaign ot
next year must be obvious to very democrat
The timely and energetic conduct of our op
ponents would be warning en i hif there were
no other reasons for it It is evident that they
expect decisive results up . tbeii extensive
and well organized system of r -publican chibs
It will be sustained by mono without stint,
drawn from the pookets of tie beneficiaries of
the monopoly system maim aud by that party.
It can be met only by an equa v extensive and i
well organized system of demo-ratio societies. I
Tbe latter is more apuropriato to our purposes,
since it was the first organization of
tbe Democratic party in tie United States,
and was the instrument of agitation
and defense employed by the lathers
of the Democratic party in the first groat
struggle in resistance to federalism and for the
restitution of constitutional g< verumont. It is
earnestly recommended that ever, meal In the
regular organisation of the Democratic party
will see that everything possible within his ju
risdiction shall be done to aid and encour
age it.
1 desire to call your attention to the work now
in course of successful accomplishment by the
executive committee of tbe National assoeia
tiou of democratic clubs, and tv. say, that their
plan has bren submitted to and meets the ap
proval of the national committee
The selection of correspon dents under this
plan is of the greatest importance aud under this
date I have written to the mernb-r of the no
tional committee from your state asking him to
communicate with you at once so that proper
selections may be made. The plan cannot in
any way interfere with the slate organization,
and, on the contrary, proposes In
timate co-operation with the state com

It has met with imprecodentel rujeess in

80”’ OF THE PLATE PRINTERS.
Secretary Foster |jore Worried Over
tbe Trouble'Than Ever,’
Washington, luly I. Foster
is more troubled about the p ate printers’
row than ever, not* that the Federation of
Labor and the Knights of Latter are so
clashing over it. Yesterday afternoon ho
thought be had it all fixed, when he had se
cured the assent of the representatives of
the Knights of Labor tu the following
proposition: That he should forget the past
record of the seven men who have been dis
missed from the bureau, and not treat them
as discharged employes; that m that new
and novel capacity he could guarantee their
employment at the bureau as plate printers’
within thirty days.
PROTEST OF THE FEDERATION.
But just at that point the Federation of
Labor representatives appeared with a pro
test against this attempt to give preference
to the knights over tbe BeJoratlnvi of Labor
men, who wore already on the chance roll
iif tho bureau waiting thair chance to get
work on the presses, and the’- insisted that
the knights should be yet at the bottom of
the chance list. Secretary Foster there
upon told the Federation of Labor people
that he thought this but fair, and that he
would withhold his decision till he could
have a talk with President Gompers of the
federation. Meanwhile, the knights had
left. When they returned this morning
they were surprised to be told by
Secretary Foster that he had new light
on the subject, and that ha would
await the arrival of President Gompers.
The knights became a trifle excited and
insisted upon an immediate decision in ac
cordance with his prom M ot yesterday
to reinstate the seven men within thirty days
but Secretary Foster would not yield.- Now
the knights accuse hi* of breaking faith
and threaten Maj. McKinley more than
ever.

COMING OF THE KAISER.
ENGLAND'S COURT CIRCLE IN A
FLURRY OF EXCITEMENT.
The Prince and Princess ot Wales Not
to Meet Him at Port Victoria-Many
Intricate Points c.f Court Etiquette
Puzzling the Queen’s Household -
Windsor Castle Too Small.
London, July I.—The elaborate and ap
parently official programme of engage
ments of Emperor William of Germany
during his approaehingvisit to England,
which was published yesterday, seeine to
have been somewhat premature, or else the
programme was prepared without consult
ing his imperial majesty,and this may have
annoyed the young ruler of Germany. In
any case the newspapers of the city say
to-day that they are authorized to announce
that the programme is incorrect. The real
reason for to-day’s announcement is that
the emperor has sent a peremptory tele
gram to some pet son in high authority
here, probably the German ambassador.ob
jectiug to having all his movements ar
ranged for him and requesting that certain
mornings should be left free for his own
disposition.
THOSE WHO WILL MEET HIM.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will not
meet the German emperor at Port Victoria,
near Sheerness, ns previously announced.
The emperor will be met upon landing there
by the Duke cf Counaught, Duke of Edin
burgh aud Duse of Clarence aud Avondale.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will await
the arrival of their nephew at Windsor
Castle. It is somewhat humiliating to
British pride to have to note in this
connection that there are not sufficient
rooms in W indsor Castle, large as it is, to
accommodate the many "royalties’’ who
will g :her there to meet aud welcome the
queen’s naughty German grandson aud to,
at the same time, accommodate the young
emperor’s suite. The result is that many
of the German visitors will have to be bil
leted at the hotels in the neighborhood of
Windsor Castle.
THE qUEE.t’s EQUIPAGES.
In addition, the queen did not have a suf
ficient number of carriages and horses at
Windsor Castle; consequently, twenty ad
ditional horses and ten additional carriages
have been dispatched from the royal stables
in London to reinforce the Windsor con
tingent. A large extra force of serv
ants of all descriptions has also left
London for Windsor aud the "purveyors to
the queen,” who will contribute to the
Windsor castle festivities are feeling de
cidedly happy aud heartily bites the
queen and all of the royal family.
On the other hand the military au
thorities of Great Britain are dis
tracted at the inordinate requisitions
which are being made upon them (to please
the German emperor) for troops of all arms,
who will, for ornamental purposes.be sub
jected to inconveniences and fatigue, while

great expense natural to such parading.
POINTS OF ETIQUETTE.
The Prince of Wales to-day had a long
interview with the queen, who summoned
the heir-apparent to her presence for the
purpose of discussing and settling a number
of infinitely perplexing questio sof court
etiquette and precedence which have arisen
on account of the approaching visit of the
Emperor of Germany to his royal grand
mother. Thus court circles, military circles;
circles of society and nearly all other circles
are more or less stirred up and worried by
Emoeror William’s coming, and thousands
will not breathe freely until Germany’s
emperor has left these shores.
guarding against assassination.
German detectives, British detectives and
extra police of all kinds are already at
tending to business in London, at Wlndsor
and elsewhere, for the fact that there are
both hot-headed, emperor-hating GtrinaDg
and Frenchmen mOr at Britain is not 1 st
sight of by the autnonties here or in Berlin.
Truth referring to tbe emperor’s visit
says: "The botberati u is unprecedented
siuce the time of the queen’s marriage.
The kaiser is a hundred times more exact
ing and unreasonatde than Emperor Nicho

The queen’s cream co.ored horees, which
are used only on great state occasions, will
draw the imperial carriage in the procession
to Windsor cas le. The Scots Guard's will
line the route from the stati m to
the castle. The queen, surrounded
by the household officials and Lord Salis

visitors hi the large quadrangle. The French

Prince George of Wales is expected at
Cowes in August. He will race Emperor
William’s yaoht Meteor for the queen's
cup.

vessels decorated from stem to stern with
bunting. Upon landing a most cordial
greeting was exchanged between the queen,
the queen regent and the emperor and em

of tbe royal families aud the high dignitaries
assembled. All the important diplomatic
and military authorities of Holland were
present, either at the landing place or at
the royal paiaco, a majority of the officials
awaiting the arrival of the emperor on tbe
quay. The route leading from the landing
place to the palace was lined with
troops and crowded to tbe utmost with
enthusiastic citizens of Amsterdam and its
neighborhood, who warmly greeted Ger
many’s young emperor. After passing an
hour or so at the palace the emperor drove
through the city, seemingly thoroughly en
joying the scene presented by the plenti
fully decorated streets and many houses
which were covered with flags from roof to
basement.

shortly by concluding a formal alliance, the
central powers of Europe will become too
confident ns to the impotency of their ad

render European war inevitable.
CAHEN3LY SHUT OUT.

HAHHISON aND BLAINE.
He Is Not Forrowful Over a Report
That Blaine ia Worse.
Washington, July X.—lt would be too
much $o say that President Harrison and
his friends received to-day the news that
Secretary Blaine was not so well with
equanimity, but it is fair lo say that they
received it with modified grief. Now that
Presid-nt Harrison believes Secretary
Blaine to be a candidate for next year’s
nomination, be does not oare to see him re
cover too rapidly. The news from Secre
tary Blame made it easier to bear the news
ot the enthusiasm with which the lowa re
publican convention received the announce
ment that there is but one reciprocity, and
Blaine is its prophet. This declaration
Prevalent Harrison is working hard to dis
prove. Ho thiuks that by announcing,
as he does constantly, that he is
now running tbe state department,
and that Secretary Blane has nothing
to do with it he can get the credit for what
ever cf Secretary Blaine’s reciprocity work
he can cornplets before Secretary Blaiue
gets baok from Bar Harbor. So far Presi
dent Hsrrison and his indefatigable lieu
tenant, John IV. Foster, have only been
able to add Guatemala aud Costa Rica to
the list comprising Brazil, Spain and Vene
zuela, which Secretory Blaine left when he
went away. But they encouraged the
Harrisoniana to believe that by Ootober
they will have Mexico, Peru and Colombia
on the Btring. Nothing is more evident
than President Harrison’s determination to
steal the credit for Secretary Blaine’s reci
procity, which he fought so stubbornly, but
now perceives it the great work of bis ad
rninißtration.
BLAINE OUT DRIVING.
He Is Improving and His Mental Vigor
ia Unimpaired.
Bar Harbor, Me., July I.—Secretary
Blaine has been driving twice to-day. He
rode about town this morning,
and this afternoon he took a long
drive on the Coruicbie road, and rode
twelve or fifteen miles altogether. Mrs.
Blaine and one of tne Coppinger children as
usual, acc mipanied him. At one time during
the drive Secretary Blaine alighted from the
carnage and walked a short distance.
Secretary Biaine’s physician says the secre
tary’s health has constantly improved
since coming to Bar Harbor, although, as
in all cases, he has occasional days of de
pression, but has had no relapse. There is
no -cession for alarm.
HIS mental strength.
His mental strength is unimpaired. He
says his improvement is of course slow, but
he sees no reason why Secretary Blaine may
not arrive at a good state of health be
fore the close of the summer. He
ridoa every day, seei his friends
as usual, appears to enjoy bis
vacation, and attends to whatever
business is necessary. At Stan wood, Secretary
Blaine s cottage, it was said that Marquis
Imperial!, who is here, had not yet called
on Secetary Blaine. Nothing of public inter
est has called the marquis here ;be comes sim
ply comes for a vacation.
AN AS3URY PARK BANK OLOBED,

GEORGIA’S NEW BISHOP.
ETHELBEfiT TALBOT ELECTED BY
THE CONVENTION.
He ia Now Missionary Bishop of West
ern Idaho and Wyoming—Bishop
Wingfield’s Name tbe Only Other One
Presented, and He Only Received
One Vote—Only One Bil ot Taken.
Macon, Ga., July I.—The diocesan con
vention of Georgia, called by tbe standing
committee for the purpose of electing a
successor to the late Bishop Beckwith, met
this morning at the Cnristian church at 10
o’clock, and the result of to-day’s session,
provided he accepts, is that Rt. Rev. Ethel
bert Talbot, missionary bishop of Western
Idaho and Wyoming, will be the bishop of
the diocese of Georgia.
After the morning service, with the
omission of the sermon, tbnfcouvontion was
called to order under the resolution under
which it adjourned at Savannah in May,
which was to the effect that the convention
meet again at the call of the of
the standing committee, tbe Rev. William
C. Hunter. The roll call of deleg .tes showed
that 41 lay and 24 clerical delegates were ln
attendance.
gailor’s declination.
On motion of Rev. C. C. Williams of
Angusta the report of the committee ap
pointed to inform the Rev. Thomas T.
Gaiior of his election as Bishop made lis re
port through the Hon. Z. D. Harrison of
Atlanta. After the committee ou creden
tials had decided upon the seating of several
delegates who had been substituted for others
who had attended the (Savannah conven
tion Mr. Will hunt moved that in order
that a candidate might lie selected upon
whom the delegates might combine with
virtual uuatiimtty tho convention should
adjourn till 3 o’clock, und that during the
intermission the clergy and laity should
meet separately anil decide upon a candi
date. The convention agreed to this &nd
took a recess till 3 o’clock.
REASSEMBLING OF THE CONVENTION.
On meeting again it was announced that
the almost unanimous cboioe of tho con
ference of the clergy and iaity was Bishop
Talbot.
Rev. C. C. Williams on, presenting the
name of the candidate to the convention,
said that he was a man in every way suited
to the work to which he would be called.
He had essentially the missionary spirit,
since bis work since his election to the mis
sionary diocese of which he is now the head
was mainly of that character.
ONLY FORTY YEARS OF AGE.
Bishop Talbot, he said, was a man in the
prime of life, about 40 years of age. He
was a man of the highest refinement and
culture, and possessed the happy faculty of
making himself at home either among the
cowboys of hi* diocese or in the drawing
room of the most cultured families
of the country. To his cburchmauship
no objections could possibly be made. He
was a man without extremes, cither towaid
low or high ohurohmanship, and ail in
all he combined in himself the qualities
most necessary for his acceptability as
bishop of Georgia. The name of Rev. J.
Wingfield, missionary bishop of North Car
olina, was also presented.
THE BALLOT.
The result of the ballot was that Bishop
Wingfield received only one vote, and oil
motion the vote was made unanimous. The
convention was then adjourned, and tbe
standing committee and other diocesan
committees held meetings afterward, in
wbioh matters of interest in Georgia were
considered.
The new bishop-elect was elected mission
ary bishop at tho general convention in
Chicago, and he is held iu high esteem by
the church at large. His position on the
Phillips Brooks question was considered one
of the strongest held by any member of the
Episcopal church, and on many leading
questions he has made himself heard and
felt hi the body at large.
A NOVEL DEPARTURE.
The manner of procedure in electing a
bishop who is already in charge of a dio
cese is somewhat different from the eleva
tion of a priest to the bishopric. In this
case the call must lie signed by all the
clergy aud forwarded to the bishop-elect.
The standing oommitto will probably ap
point a subcommittee to proceed to Idaho
and inform the new bishop of his election.
The convention adjourned to meet again at
tbe call of the standing committee.
THE BISHOP NOTIFIED.
To-night the following telegram was sent
to Bishop-elect Talbot:
Bishop Kthetbert Talbot, Laramie, Wyoming
Territory:
Tbe standing committee of Georgia respect
fully notify you of your unanimous election on
the first ballot as bishop of Georgia, and
earnestly urge your acceptance. Will send
special committee at such time and place as
you appoint.
F. D. Harrison, Secretary.
The standing committee appointed Rev.
F. Rees of Macon and W. K. Miller of Au
gusta as a special committee to wait upon
the bishop-elect at the time and plaoe that
he may designate.
