pp.oK POmkRoY AND THE N. u.
COHFERENCE.


Episcopal Church is in session in Chicago.
The representative and strong men OF that
great religious denomination are there.
Grand men like Simpson and Ames and Me-
Clintock, and Eddy, aud Peck, and Foster,
and Stevens, and scores of others scarcely
less eminent and able than they. |, is one
Of the very ablest bodies that ever convened
IN America. 1t is grandly loyal body too,
and is as full of right radicalism as ii is OF
Bible Holy Ghost religion. But because ii is
radical it excises the ire of the Democracy.
And Brick Pomefoy, from his hole in La
Crosse, thus throws dirt at the Conference
and the Church that body represents.
We omit some passages too indecent for
publication, but give thus much of his vicious
article:

Quadrannial Conference of the Methodist
Church.
1t is convened nominally in the interests of
the Methodist determination, but really in
the interests Of tie mongrel party, and with
an eye to the interests of Grant. who is the
candidate of the Methodists. 1t will remain
in session until efier the Chicago Convention
