ATLANTA, Ca., Oct. 9. Tho ovation which Atlanta gave the Liberty Dell on Its arrival yesterday, and which -was unprecedented In enthusiasm In the history of the precious old relic, was followed by another even more imposing; If less spontaneous this morning, when It was formally received and Installed at the exposition grounds. A few minutes after 8 o'clock the car on which the bell was hrought to Atlanta was pushed to the corner of Prior and Wall streets. Immediately a large truck was backed against the side of the ear- and the work- of transferrin th bell was begun. The wagoa bearing the bell was drawn by six handsome gray horcea. The procession was completed by the carriages of the Atlanta and Philadelphia delegations. When the iead of the column reached the Administration Buildins it was stopped and turned to one side of the road. Then tho wagon containing the bell and the carriages containlne Mayors Warwick and Kir? were driven Into the grounds and up to the Pennsylvania building. Around the building", dpwn on the plaza, climbing1 over the club crounds fence, In the trees and every place where a foothold could be obtained, were th children. "Whenever the bell appeared there were screams of delight from th thounndj of children. As soon as the military had passed In review Councilman W. J. Campbell, acting" as coaster of ceremonies, made a few openIns remarks and introduced Dr. II. IL Barrett, who offered a prayer. The bell was then formally received by Mayor King. Those address was responded to by Mayor "Warwick, of Philadelphia. Gllmoro's Band played the "Star-Fpangled Banner," after which Governor Atkinson welcomed the bell in behalf of the State. He was followed ' by President Collier, representing the Exposition company. Then Gllmore's Band gav Dixie" and the Atlanta artillery fired a salute of thirteen guns. Tho school children were then permitted to come by the bell, and touch it with their hand3. In his speech -welcoming the guardians of the Liberty Bell Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, referred to the Cuban war and expressed tho hope that the island nay soon be free and added that the United CBtates should not permit England to lay violent hands on Venezuela. He wis heartily applauded. Mayor Warwick, cf Philadelphia, spoke In tho same strain. Jilts Carton In the Woman's Council. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 9.

WHAT CAUSED DEFEAT

KXmESSIO.M FhOM A IV I'M HER AS TO TUESDAY'S ItESFLT. Republicans Think the Present Administration Hnd Considerable (o Do with It. The following are expressions from a number of people regarding tho cause of the Republican ticket's defeat Tuesday: J. A. Wildman: "I have always felt that with our general system of public improvement and while improvements are going on it would be very diiflcult for any party to succeed itself. A great deal of sewer woTk has been necessary during the last two y (-a rs. "Then, If Mr. Denny had purposely planned fr tho success of the Democratic party, he could have accomplished little more In that direction than he has. Discord and discontent were marked features of his administration. Ilia course was that of a double dealer. Ho was Inflated by his election two years ago, but anyone could have been elected at that time; for the time had come for a change. In my Judgment If Mr. Denny had been a candidate in this election "he would have been defeated by ten thousand votes. He failed to keep his promise and disregarded the counsel and advice of personal and party friends. "Ho has appeared to have a special enmity toward the Germans, removing Frank Maus, a prominent and influential German, from the board of park commissioners. He compelled-the resignation of two capable, honest and popular Germans from his Board of Public Works, one of whom was an old soldier, who for months lay in Libby Prison nearer death than life; the other an Influential member of the worthy aenomination of German Lutherans and an upright and honorable man. All this was done by Mr. Denny to advance his own selfish ends. "He gained the 411 will of . the unfortunate and those who, at seme time, might have been unfortunate, by advocating a whipping post, thereby reviving the horrors of slavery days, lie went to New York to make a garbage contract, in which he utterly failed. He made a grand stand play about elevating railroad tracks, building viaducts and granting street-car franchises, In all of which he most signally failed. He gave his attention to his private business when it should have been given to the public's interests. The day of the dress parade fellows and the demagogues has gone by. The people want public offlcrals to say what they mean and do what they say, and use a little plain common sense, keeping In iew all tho time the best Interests of tho people. The defeat was principally a rebuke to tho Denny "administration. Tho seventh verse of the 101st Psalm might be referred to Mr. Denny for his careful consideration and perusal. This Is the second time Mr. Denny has turned the city government over to the Democracy and it was his last opportunity. The Republican party is greater than any one man. The Republicans will carry this city and county In 1S96 and at the next city election a Republican Mayor wil' be elected. In the words of Abraham Lincoln. 'You may fool all of. the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. " It. O. Hawkins: "I think that the effect of the Nicholson bill and the way in which it was enfolded has had much to do with the result. There is no use in trying to disguise the fact that a large number of voters of Indianapolis who aro Republicans and ordinarily vote the ticket, are opposed to legislation such as the Nicholson bill. The history of the party in this State has demonstrated that fact. In 1S72 the Republicans carried the State except Governor and controlled the Legislature. This county and city had been Republican before that for many years. The Legislature passed the Baxter temperance bill, and In the election of 1S74 the Democrats swept the city, county and State. We did not as;aln et control, of the Legislature until 1SS0. The people that left the party In 1874 on account of the Baxter bill came back In 1SS0. and were with tho party in all of the Issues of that campaign. The result was that we again secured the Legislature and gained the State and city. While there was nothing In the platform on tho subject of temperance, when the Legislature met the proposition to amend the constitution of the State concerning the liquor traffic was adopted. Ia ISSi the Democrats controlled the Legislature and carried the State. Since then we have never had control of the Legislature except during the last session, and history seems to be repeating itself. The passage of tho Nicholson bill last winter and the manner In which it has been enforced affected a large number of voters yesterday. I don't mean that this was confined to saloon keepers and people who patronize saloons, but it ramified out and affected a large number of people who are reputable citizens. Again, so long as the present system of pvbl'c Improvements Is carried on and until the public work is completed, it would eeem almost impossible for the administration of city affairs to continue In the hands of the same party more than two years. While It may be conceded that these improvements are necessary and inasmuch as work has been oesrun, it is for the benefit of the city that it should be carried on, still tho effect of thee assessments on property owners Is such that at each city election I think it will be found that the people will vote against the party in power." Coroner Castor: "It cannot be denied that the Denny administration bad a disastrous effect on tho result of the election. I know of a number of young men who voted for Taggart because they objected to the policies pursued. Their sense of morality may have been stunted, but nevertheless that was one of the factors which Influenced the result." Col. I. N. Walker: "I was not surprised at the result of the election yesterday. 1 don't think there is a Republican in Indianapolis who thoroughly understands the condition of affairs that has not for the last month anticipated this result. It 13 unnecessary to go Into particulars. Tho facts are patent to almost everybody." State Auditor Daily: "I am not familiar with Indianapolis politics, but my impression is that yesterday's result was largely due to the .charge that Mr. Trusler voted against the party candidate for President. Again, I believe that the administration of cities as well as national affairs Is held responsible for the acts of Its officers. People have complained that public improvements have been pushed forward faster than the demands required, and that the burden of assessments was unnecessarily heavy in this direction. Tho enforcement of the temperance laws had much to do with out defeat, because a great many people favor what la known as a 'wide-open policy. I think a few votes were lost on this account. Then there was another element. A great many laboring men do not oppose Sunday baseball, and some of them doubtless voted against their ticket." Judga E. B. Martlndale: "There aro a thousand causes for the defeat, and as usual after a disastrous election, we are looking around for .these causes. I regard thd position of the Denny administration as the chief one. The Journal editorially sizes up the result about right. There are some features of the city charter which should be corrected. Property owners should be given a voice. regarding improvements. It is granting three, men too much power to allow them to proceed with Improvements regardle. of the wishes of the property owners. The sewer assessments during the last two years have been oppressive. The administration prevented a change by tho Legislature of the manner of making these assessments. The people have learned all these things, and yesterday they spoke." Mr. Cal Darnell lays the entire blame of the defeat on the shoulders of Mr. Denny. He said: "We were bound to be defeated after two years of Denny. Mr. Trusler has been the best controller the city has ever had, but he had to suffer for the mistakes of the Denny administration. Two things figured In the defeat, one the Improvements and the other the enemies made by Denny in his own rarty." Kx-Judge Norton stood at the corner of Illinois and Market streets, with triumphant smiles covering his face. He was asked for a reason, as wen through Democratic spectacles: "The Journal this morning gave the best photograph of the cause which I have seen. The people simply rebuked the administration." Governor Matthews: The result was not unexpected or surprising to me, except in the size of the majorities. This was more than I quto looked for. The widespread dissatisfaction with the Denny administration has been the prime cause, and it was a burden too heavy for the Republican candidate to carry. This, together with the well-known popularity and business ability of Mr. TaRgart. can a3ily account for the Republican defeat. Throushout the State It will be regarded as n Democratic victory. and will, of course, have fome Influence on the party by inspiring greater hopes of succes next year." Superintendent of Police Powell: "The jtitn aro always after th ins. When disaster overtakes a political party sonic one. Is always looking for some other person to whom to attach tho blame, not thinking that he himself has probably contributr t a .hare. l-nicr our chartfT no administration I likely to succeed itrtlf. I see considerable Is bin said about the Denny policy of enforcement of law being largely to blame fcr the defeat of the Republican ticket. 1 havo noticed in my brief exjertcn.?e hrn that there are a jrood many people who are opposed to a wide-open town, and alo to a closod-tip town, and they want men to violate their oaths of ofiicc

by striking a 'happy medium.- Theje is therefore a constant demand for a change, because all the people cannot be satisfied." Councilman A A. Young: "I attribute the defeat simply to the Reneral dissatisfaction of the party In power. This same dissatisfaction will exist until we get the general improvements of streets, eewer3 and cement sidewalks completed. The civil-service rules of the present administration have had something to do with it. When Mayor Denny went Into office' there weie hundreds of men out of employment, a condition brought about by the depression incident to the change in national affairs. Thero were more applicants for places In the city service than was ever known before, and each applicant and his friend remembered their disappointment. This figured largely in the result. It can't be denied, too, that the manner of the enforcement of the laws by Mayor Denny and Superintendent Powell alienated a certain vote that Is strongly Republican, and under other circumstances would have gone for the Republican candidates.' A PLURALITY OF 3,722

TAGGART, HOWEVER, LED STTCIt3IEYEH IX PLURALITY BY 2,005. The Complete Of3cial Compilation of Tuesday's Vote Five Days Pay for " Inspectors. The city election board met In the Council chamber yesterday morning to canvass the returns from the election. It was shown that Taggart has a plurality of 3,722, which Wf.s 2.003 ahead of Stuckmeyer, who made the worst showing on the ticket. Cox's plurality was 1.1S7 and Stuckmeyer's 1,117. Many of the Inspectors misunderstood the time of the meeting of the board, and failed to bring in their returns, the result being that it was 7 o'clock before the last precinct was tabulated. The work of making the additions and verifying them took until 11 o'clock. When the Inspectors assembled they passed a resolution allowing all inspectors rive days' pay, and clerks, sheriffs and judges two days' pay each. The official count of tha vote for the three city officers, by wards, is as follows:

MAD RUSH FOR JOBS

JIAYOn-ELECT TAGGART IS BESIEGED I1T THE FAITHFULE. 3L Johnson.riYilf Be Controller and Jeup 1V111 Succeed City Engineer Brown. The Grand Hotel corridor was crowded again last night During the early part of the evening Bill Flynn and six voters, and a regiment of boys with drums and horns, marched In the front doo- and took a stand in front of tho clerk's desk. 'No cards were sent to the room where Mr. Taggart sat struggling with the applications sent him. The six voters did not say what they wanted, but It was surmised that some word of recognition from Mr. Taggart was demanded. It was evident what the boys wanted; they simply desired license to make a noise. The drums were pounded and the horns were blown with all the vigor six men and a regiment of boys from the ."Fifteenth possess. The drummers became tired, but Mr, Taggart did not appear. The brooms were waved at a danger to tho chandeliers. There were cries for Taggart but the new Mayor had no time to speak to six voters from the Fifteenth and a crowd of boys. The officeseekers In the corridors did hot care to hear any speeches without, but each would like to have had one sweet little song of hope sung in his ear. John Holtzman saw the stand taken by the gang from the Fifteenth, and saw that something must bo done. He went into the crowd and whispered a few words, which resulted in one uncontrollable outburst, and then came a silence. The six voters, the drum carriers and a few stragglers marched down the rear stair toward the bar. For a few minutes all was quiet, but later the wild, grand musio of the victors from the Fifteenth could be heard as the crowd marched down the street looking for new worlds to conquer. John W. Kern, a silent candidate for city attorney, it 13 reported, was a prominent tigure about the corridor. Captain Quigley. who, according to the opinions expressed by Mr. Taggart, is entitled to be police superintendent, was there asking for the composition of tho new Board of Safety. Joo Fanning was there, as was "Monk" Wilson, who said he wanted nothing more than to be "let alone." Wilson was arrested recently on complaint of an old soldier, who was tiimflanimed In Wilson's saloon. Richard Herrick came down early to tell Mr. Taggart that he is not a candidate for police superintendent, as has been wrongly announced. Herrick wants to be let alone. iX M. Johnson, in the language of the lesser lights, was a "high card," and many an anxious offlce-seeker approached Mr. Johnson to ask him to say Just one word to Mr. Taggart. The candidates for city attorney Include John R. Wilson, who Is more or less "receptive," James B. Curtis and John W. Kern. The names of Kern and Curtis are frequently mentioned . as candidates for Congress and it is possible an agreement will be patched up whereby one will be the city attorney and the other the candidate for Congress from this newly-created district. Wlllard Robertson, secretary of the city committee, and Fred Cady are mentioned for assistant attorney. The name of Charles Maguire Is mentioned as one of the new Board of Works members. John Osterman, it is believed, is likely to be president of the board. The Republican member may be Mr. Atkinson. There are influences about Mr. Taggart which are urging him to appoint an out-and-out Itepublican, and not a mugwump, for the Republican members of the boards. There are three candidates prominently mentioned for police surgeon. Dr. Stone wants it and Dr. ' Stuckey, who had a federal job that paid well and entailed little work, but which was knocked out by Secretary of Agriculture Morton, wants to get hold of another official salary. He has a drug store oh Illinois street. Dr. Kisenbeiss is said to be a receptive candidate, i' Information was received during the evening from a pretty pood source that the Board of Public Safety Is to be com posed of CharJf Mag're, ,Fred Mack' andv.,iiauc3 ii?ii imuitiu. au irase or vrie appointment of Maguire on this board some other man would of course be found on the Works Bbard. . . . t B. J. Jeup, one of tho staff of "City Engineer Brown. w3 promised City Engineer Brown's position before the election, it is claimed. There s no douH that Bart Parker will continue as clerk of the Board of Works and Herrick" will continue as clerk of the Board of Safety. The appointment of a Board . cf Health and of city sanitarian has not been decided upon. Mr. Taggart was in Hose consultation last night with Sterling Holt, who will havo a derided Influence with this administration, though it was not thought probable that he will accept any onice under it. Mr. Taggart said r last nia;ht that he would not announce .hl3appolntmcnts until this evening, and perhaps would not have the list perfected then. "It is not po casv a ta&k as mme might suppose." he said to a Journal reporter last night In a private room In the hotel. It is authoritative that E. M. ' Johnson will be the new controller. Mr.' John.on lias acknowledged that this foregone conclusion Is rightfully stated. Mr. Taggart will to-day resign, his office as auditor. and Will Hughes, the second in authority in the office during his two terms as auditor, will undoubtedly be appointed auditor by the commissioners for the three weeks of the term that remain. It was urged yesterday upon Mr. Tasgart by the clique that wants to keep hold of things with a double rrrip that ho could continue as auditor and us Mayor fcr the three weeks at the same time. A conference was called between City Attorney Scott and John W. Kern as to Mr. Tagjart's ripht to do this, and they reached the conclusion that It would not be possible under the law. Mr. Taggart will therefore - resign. The work in the office is very heavy lust now and a large sum has to be paid In salaries, thus cutting down the prcuts cf the onice. Mr. Hughes's income " for the-period whl not be overpoweringly larye, but he is willing to take the trust ev?i for three weeks. Mr. TagKort received yesterday morning over ZZA telegrams of -congratulation from all putts of the tte and country and about four hundred letters. -One was from Po&tmaster-ceneral Wilson, who was in Louisville, Ky on election day. Anotherwas from Senator oorhces, who named Ui new Mayor for Governor in 1S3'J. 'fhe same mention was made or sugrestel in scores of telegrams and-letters. Jason Brown broke out with the telegraphic ex clamition. "Glory to Gcd.". E. V. Matthews, of Evnnsvine,' advtsd, "Don't trv to make the people Christians by law." Chairman Harrlty. of the national Democratic committee, and Ji Sheerin, Its Fecreary, also wired congratulations. Congressman Itichev.. of Lima. O., O. O. Bteaiey, i?. M. fcStockslager and Ncal Curry, a horseman, were among tho?e who sent telegrams. There were also a large number of hotel who remembered the Grand Hotel boniface. It was seated late, last night that Mr. Taggart wculd endeavor io conciliate labor organizations which felt pomewhat un friendly to thor .Democratic ticket in the late campaign, by appointing Frank Gates, of the Sentinel, on the isoara or arety. i rom the same authority ea.Tte the statement that John V. White, Democrat, would not be iermitted to remain on the board cn account of his part in the enforcement of the laws. Willis McGtnnJs, who has been In New Vork connected with the revenue office In that - district, made the statement a few days ago that he would be superintendent or police In case laggart was elected. He Wfcs one of Mr. TaKgart's callers yesterday. MR. POWELL'S II ETI R CM EX T. Dors Not Relieve Patrolmen Shonld He Removed for Obeying Officer. The office of superintendent of police will be vacated to-day at noon by Georgs W. Powell, who lias, occupied that position for the last' two years. Mr. Powell entered the oPico with no experience whatever In the Lolice business, but with the conviction that e( could till the office. In this connection Mr. Powell raid last night: "I leave the office with' the' consciousness that I have demonstrated that the laws can bo enforced, and I have learned that there are a . greats many people who are opposed'ai la such a condition of affairs. I have had . a frreat many experiences which .have not bfen pleasant, and vice vera. I am perfectly satisfied with the recrd made and only hopo that the new administration may in the full discharge of duty, fully satisfy our citizens on tho 'enforcement of law.' Now, If the people who two years ago said they were dissatisned because the city was wide open, and wanted the laws enforced.having changed their minds. I can't for the life of me see Just what the new administration is to expect, for tho promise

has been made that the law is to bo enforced, and if It is enforce! It will be in the face of expressed disapproal as we are led to believe by expressions published. If the citizens are not satisfied with the administration of the law, then look out for two years hence." Mr. Powell wa3 asked whether he thought there would be many changes in tho police department as a result of the change of administration. "I am sure that I cannot say as to the course of the future head of thi3 department," he said. "But it Is very probable that a great many petitions will be sent to the new Board of Safety asking for tho removal of various officers. Many of the officers have made enemies by obeying orders, and it will certainly be cowardly to punish them for such obedience. Every saloon keeper who has been arrested will demand the head of the officer who arrested him. There ought not to be a change made in the department. It is now as equally divided between the two political parties as it could be, and every member of the force is a capable and able man. All have shown themselves faithful to duty, and with their experience It would be impossible to better the force." There is considerable unrest In the police department, and will continue to be until the new head of the department demonstrates to what extent the deadly ax Is to be wielded. Captain Quigley, of course, Is now at case, because he feels that he-will be retained as a captain even If he is not made superintendent, to which position he aspires if Colbert does not receive the appointment. Sergeants Hyland. Mefford, Crane and Lowe are the Republican sergeants, and are on the uneasy seat. Which of the patrolmen may be dismissed and which retained will not be known for several weeks, as their dismissals will come s?ow. It is said that there are also a number of Democratic patrolmen who will be discharged. A saloon keeper on Virginia avenue is said to be an applicant for the position of license Inspector. Harry Wallace's removal is probable, as he has been unrelenting In detecting unlicensed saloons. There is considerable speculation as to whether Captain Campbell will be retained. Campbell Is one of the oldest and most able men on the force, but he is a Republican, and for those reasons his head may be required by the ring. TORE TUB FENCE DOW.

Charles Polster Proceeds to Destroy the City's Property. Charles Polster, of notoriety In criminal circles, and on of the principal collectors of the Democratic boodle fund in the .late campaign, collected part of his reward yesterday. Without authority of law he tore dowruthe fence built by the city on the site occupied by Engine House Xo. .1, on Indi ana avenue. Polsters chief grievance against this fence was that it obstructed his side door, which he u?ed on Sunday and after 11 o'clock during the Sullivan administration. Poister's patrons were in the habit of crossing, the city's property to get to Polsters side door, and after the Denny administration came in power, the city built a fence on its property. Poister's Indignation rose .to a hiph pitch, but he didn't dare destroy anv of the city's property durinir the last administration. v Ho proposes now to have hi3 side door open even if he has to destroy public property in so high-handed a fashion. s COSTELLO FOIt PRESIDENT. Democratic Conncllmcn-Elect Chose Him In Cnncns L.nt XlRlit.. Twelve of the fourteen new Democratic councilmen met in the Mayor's office last night and held a caucus for the selection of officers. The meeting. lasted about an hour. It was decided ' that Costello should be president and Colter vice president.

Councilman Costello was re-elected in the Twelfth ward by a plurality of 837, and has been regarded by Republicans in the old Council as a man who had the city's Interests in mind in his work in that body.. Old Safety Hoard's Resignation. The' members of the Board of Safety met yesterday afternoon and decided to prepare their resignations and tender them to the new Mayor as soon as he Js inaugurated at noon to-day, to take effect as seen as their successors can be named. DEPUTIES IN DEBATE QUESTION.-. OF TITLE FOR SENIOR BISHOP STILL HANGS FIRE. Heated Discussion Among: the Episcopal Dlfrnltnriea National Congregational Council. MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 9. Another new diocese was authorised by the House of. Deputies of the Episcopal convention todaythat of northern Michigan. The committee on the division of the diocese' of Toklo, Japan, reported that It had no jurisdiction in the matter and asked to be discharged. Judge Fairbanks, of Florida, reIntroduced his resolution for an amendment to the constitution giving the authority for the cession of missionary jurisdictions, but objection was mads to its consideration and It went over. Tho report of the trustees of the fund for the relief cf aged and infirm clergymen and widows and orphans of clergymen showed that receipts for three years had been 5S1.434, and that for fifty-nine clergymen, ICS widows and twenty-four orphans i?,2D5 had been paid ouL The hcuss was asked to name a Sunday In each year as clergy relief Sunday. There was a surprise when the house took up the report of the committee recommending Boston as the next meeting place of the convention. Strong speeches in favor of Louisville, New Orleans, Atlanta and Boston were made. An amendment to substitute New Orleans jfor Boston was voted down, &o was a similar one for Louisville. But the clever speech of R?v. A. W. Knight in favor cf Atlanta enabled him to snatch the victory from Boston. His umc-ndment was carried by a decisive vote and Atlanta will h? the convention city in 1S03 if the bishops concur. The announcement that Atlanta had won In th3 House of Lcputi?8 was received with astonishment in the House of Ri&hops, and it was declared by a number of the bishops that the upper hous would not be likely to con cur in the selection. The voice of missionary bishops, it was said, would be in favor of. Boston, as there was a better iro?noct of securing liberal contributions for the mission work in the wealthier cttfes. The House cf Bishops adopted the recommendation of its committee ordering the division of the missionary Jurisdiction cf Wyoming and Idaho into two uistricts, the resent bishop to continue In charge of both. Tho question of filling the vacancy in the Western eee cf Colorado wis then taken up. A number of messages were received from th? House of Bishops as to the action on constitutional matters. One of the most important was the adoption of Article IV, providing for the erection of provinces of not less than five dioceses, tlte head of a province to be named archbishop. Consideration cf this was deferred until the "primate" question could be settled. There wa-s lively debate over the roint as to whether the primate should b elected or hold his office by virtue of seniority. The .voting In the House of Deputies cn the convention city was at first viva voc. Atlanta seemed to have a majority, but a rising vote waj called fcr. Ho few stood up when the noes were called for that Dr. Dix announced the result without stopping to count them. The House of Deputies had a sharp de bate this afternoon on the question whether the primate, or head of the House of Bishops, should oe eiectea or noia omce through seniority of service. The vote was so one-sided as to make is seem as if the sharpness of the debate was not warranted. There wa a strong element that was afraid the bishops would not have their own way in the matter and appealed to the deputies to show the other hojo mnr confidence and resnect. Ihev arzued that while the elective principle might be an American Mea tt would be a dan gerous thing to interject it into the House of Bishcss and enzeuder partisanship. The bishops had voluntarily cast away the elective idea and should be allowed to manage their own affaire. The other Fide argud that with &o many bisnops to nave tne primate the eldest bishop in point of serv ioc would mean that the primate would always be an old man unable to attend tv the duties of the office. The deputies arranged that he could be removed for nonah:lity or by a majority vctc of the bishonp. An attempt was made to reconsider tho vote by which the term presiding bishon was rejected in favor of primate an h motion only lacked eight votes of I-An through. The deputies Kprnt about, ail of the forenoon discussing these two jueHtlon and when an adjournment was taken the section had not been adopted. It is unirr-
