There was n genuine
Molhodlst conferunco yostorday. It was
oci-asinncd by a speech raado by Hev. D. W.
Hayes of the Tennessee coiiferonoo.donounc-
inif an editorial In Zlon's Herald , written by
tlio editor , Dr. Parkhurst.
Dr. Hayes is a colored man mid ho assumed
to spuak for all the colored delegates pros-
cut. M'ho speech created n whirlwind of con
fusion. Dr. Parkhurst apologized ana was
also applauded , but ho hardly held his own
against tbo colored man. There lb a differ
ence of opinion among the delegates with
rogaut to the mutter , but the majority of the
delegates appear to think that Hov. Hayes
wni Justlllod in denouncing the language
uiod in tbo editorial which caused the
offense.
Immediately after the opening prollmln-
nrioon motion of Dr. Lanuhon , spoocnos on
reports of committees were limited to Jive
tumuli" .
Bishop Andrews announced that Dr. A. J.
Kvnett and Dr. W. A. Spencer had boon

Uoport No. 2 from tbo comniittoo on
IPiocUinon'a Aid society was taken up
on motion of Hov. William Swindolls. The
report recommended tbo election of Iwo soc-
rotarioi Instead of ono as heretofore. This
recoinmtindatlon wai rapidly railroaded
through. It wan generally believed that Dr.
IliuUcll's chances for i-o-nloctlou were In n
ci iilt-al condition , and his fnonds saw tniu
the only sure way to BIIVQ him was to have
two scr'rotnrles Instead of ono.
Then there was pandemonium. Fifty man
wanted to explode simultaneously. They
u anted to nomlnnto and to second
. nominations. Dr. J. C. Hartrotl ,
lr G. W. Gray , Dr. J. W. Hamilton , Dr.
(5 M Grandison , Hov. U. B. Mason and sev-
ornl others were nominated , The speeches
imUu to second the nomluutioiib were to n
litrgit CMC nt lost in the confusion. They
wont like this : "In behalf of the entire t'.ele-
r.itlo.i from cnnfoioncu and all Methodism -
ism , I second the nomination of--Provident
iltuiU-Mr. i'l-osiaont Chairman , chamn , "
and u score of such confusing Bounds
utterly drowning the volco of the speaker
tl'fing to second the nomination of somebody.
Tim colored men were for Grandison , of

Pr. J. K. Berry , editor of the lipworlh
Huruld , spoke brleuy upon fin adoption of
the proposed umundinent tr thn dUciplIno ra-
coirnijUiu tlioloagun Ho said tne MuthodUl
church believed iu denominational Sunday
schools , denominational papers and n denom
inational society for the younupeoolo of the
church. Ho hold that the object was not to
become narrow minded , but to bo loyul to the
church. Ho thought that the amendment
proposed was liberal enough.
Dr. Ncolv spoke upon the amendment.
Ho favored the plan of making the amend
ment an appendix to the discipline rather
than to put it in ns a part of the discipline.
The report was adopted seriatim.
The naino ot the organi/atlon was made
the Epworth League of the Methodist Epis
copal Unurch. Several sharp discussions took
nlaco over the wording of some of the sec
tions.
Dr. Eaton of Detroit moved an amendment
providing for the reorganization of Jtounp
People's Society of Christian Endeavor and
ether societies connected with the Methodist
church making Epworth leagues of them.
Dr. Pullman of Now York east pleaded
for the Christian Kndoavor societies. He hold
"that there were nearly liOO.OOO young people
in the Methodist church who belonged to the
Young People's Society of Christian En
deavor. Ho urged the conference to deal
gently and Kindly with tboso societies. They
were loval , enthusiastic und intensely Chris
tian. H would bo wlso to extend the hand of
fellowship to thorn rather than to drive them
from the church by rigid rules with regard
to tno organization of Epworth leagues. The
proposed amendment to tbo discipline was
worded finally so as to allow young people's
societies not already organized as Epworth
leagues to comoinns Epworth leagues if they
EO desired.
Dr. Swindolls wanted the wording of a
certain section changed , so as to leave the
election of an editor f > r the Ep'worlh Herald
in the handi of the board of control , lather
than to throw the election into the gc-noral
conference. Ho also oppojod the election of
n general secretary especially for the league.
Ho wanted * the secretary of the Sunday
School Union und Tract society to bosocio-
tary of the Epworth league as well.
Hev. Berry , Dr. Queul and others spoke
eloquently iigainst the combination. They
wanted the Epworth league to bavo a full
and complete equipment of ofilcurs separate
and apart from uil other auxiliary depart
ments.
Kousteil u Itcltulous Taper.
And tiion came a bombshell. Hev. D W.
Hayes of Tennessee , ; i colored brother , rose
to n question of privilege , Ho said that the
colored delegates had been ridiculed by a
member of the prejs and ho wanted to sper.k
upon tbo mailer. A look of surprUo covered
every face. The newspaper men looked up
with liiloiiHO interest und uozan to wonder
whoto tbo lightning was golnu to strike.
Pr. Hayes was trlvon tbo lloor. Ho
said : " 1 bavo before mo an excerpt from the

Hov Mr , Huyes denounced tno alleged In

ored delegates bail received anything but tbo
kindest treatment Hn thought that Dr.
Parkhurst , being cloihod witti the tnantlo of
the lamented Biihop Haven In tbo editorial
chair of.ion's Herald , hud ubutcd the priv
ileges extended to him. It was not right
that Dr. Paikhurst should bavo the courte
sies that the reprosoniauves of the prois enJoyed -
Joyed extended to him any longer if bo In
tended to contlimo that sort of offensive writ
ing und that an apology was dun thu colored

Or , Parkhurst , alttlni ; at n table nmoug thu
reporters , npp > arod to uo dumbfouuded by
the attack of the colored brotbor. In clos
ing Hov , Mr. ilayoi said that the peopio of
Omaha had treated tbe colored delegates
like mou over slum the conference oioiioil | ,
The colored delegates were ploasud with tbit
impartial hospl'.allty on the pai t of the pee
ple of Ornaha. They were grieved b yond
expression nt this insulting lllng from
ono of the editors of this inde-
nondent Methodist paper. The colored
delegates were accustomed to that sort of
tblng In the south , but they did not look for
U from a northern editor and a member of
tbo Methodist chinch.
There was great confusion and applause M
the close of the excited ihvino'i snjocb. All
eyes worn turned toward Dr. Parkburst.
Dr. Pullman sprang to nls foot. Ho tried
to smooth the dlfllculty over bv savincr that
Dr. Parkhurst certain ly did not mean to offend
the colored dologa'es. Ho moved that Dr.
Parkburst bo glvon an opportunity to ox-
plain. It was done.
Dr. Parkhurat was vorv much embarrassed ,
but ho succeeded in making un explanation
that won him a little sympathy. Ho first
complimented tbo conference by saying thai
it was a splendid and eminently fair and jint
body of men. Then ho explained that ho had
always boon a staunch friend of tbo colored
raco. Ho had written the little Hush without
any intention of offense. Ho was profoundly
sorry that it had offended the colored breth
ren and hoped that they would take it in a
friendly spirit and not us an Intended insult.
Ho had honest convictions that some of the
colored delegates hnd not been Judicious iu
their efforts to net the lioor upon a few occa
sions. He inoant to call their attention to
this fact in u way that , would bo a benefit to
them rather than to offend.
Dr. Parkhurst has boon editor ofCion's
Herald , published at Boston , for four years.
The paper is not an ollicial organ.
Hick to the l.n.igtio Kuport.
Then thu conference settled down to the
consideration of tno Epworth loacuo report
again. The conference UeclJod to allow the
board of control to elect the secretary of the
Epwoith league , but to have the conference
elect tbo editor of the Epworlh Herald. A
long wrangle tool ; place ever the
atllludo that the presiding elders and
other officers of the annual conferences
should assume toward the Young People's
Society of Christian Endeavor and ether
yoiing people's societies in tbo church not
belonging to the Epworth league. H win
finally decided thai all young people's so-
clotirs connected with the church , whothqr
Epworth leagues or not , could como under
the Jurisdiction of the presiding ohlors , and
the welfare of such societies should bo care-
full watched by the presiding elders.

Comrades with their Joys and sorrows got

that trietl inon's souls. They were Moth-
odlst ministers and delegates to the general
conferenco. These individuals of divinity
unmasked themselves for the night and were
comrades of tin ) Om.ihu veterans.
Grand Army hall was thronged as It has
never been oeforo. Hundreds \vero there
a nil hundreds i\ure obliged to stand on tnelr
foot. Distinguished , scholarly men were
there on an equal with tbo Grand Army
cbap to whom belongs the everlasting credit
uud the triumphant victory of the boys in
blue. They were glad to get together , because -
cause they were comrades. They grasped
each other's hand with tlint cordiality that
implied they ucro without saving it. But
"comrades" was what tboy were called , and
it was a brilliant army of the now tulcnt
that once tramped the country for iu preser
vation.

To 100 these ecclesiastical looking gentlemen -
men around a camp Jiro you would.not have

reminiscences in such un amusing manner
that tbo "old vet" was tuken back In
infiinory to tbo late revolution. Ca.npflro
lilo wes portrayed in vivid and realistic
story telling of war times.
The stories and reminiscences ware inter
spersed with muslo and negro plantation
songs oiid dani'os Dy H quartette composed
of colored boys.
Dr. Edwards , editor of the Chicago
Christian Advocate , in his reminiscences
said he had seen eighteen hUtorlo battles
and had himself boot In the battle of Bull
Run , lie loved and cherished every man
who were brass buttons if these buttons
signified ho bad been in tbo war , 10 very day
in the year , ho said , lilty veloians wen )
dying and ho would pity this grand republic
when they all had passed away.
Dr. Grandison , a colored man and presi
dent of a South Carolina college , was intro
duced and related many amusing anedotcs
of tbo war. It was a pleasure for him to express
for tbo " in blue "
press his gratitude "boys ,
lor they had accomplished what the colored
man now- enjoys freedom and liberty.
Tuough tbo blucn man received no protection
from the stars and stripes ho was and always

him how tlmy came by the fowls , but the
Yanks got them just the sumo. The colored

memory of thoio who gave up their lives for
the black mau , and In strewing their graves
with Jlowers us a token of appreciation of
tlieir noble deeds and patriotism.

Dr. A. J. Palmer , in speaking of the vet
erans , bald they were somebody. Tboy had
done something , and in a glowing tribute to
them ho aikod them to ma .ton noble llnUh

sorry for tbo youii" men of today , They
wera born too late , and they will noverknow
what the word comrade Is only In A literal
senso.
Colonel Frank Hardin , an aged genllomon
who is full of patriotlfin and oijoys meeting
comrades , said tbat tbo memory of the \vnr
should never bo allowed to bo obliterated as
some would have It. Its memory snould bo
perpetuated and the great and grand Hag of
tbo nation should bo on the top of ovorv
school bouso in tbe land. TO cultivate a
souse of patriotism it was necessary to keep
the records of the war.
Dr. Moore and Dr. Mitchell spoke of their
best years of life as going out to holt ) put
down the rebellion , riotn rotated amusing
anecdotes of the time when tboy earned

Tno camp fire was a big jollification and an
