THAT B0saoM Re.N

VERSION OF MfNIsTHR WHO WAS PREsENT-ooR-
RoBoRATioN OF BISHOP HAvRN's sTATHMKNTs.
Rev s. l.. Gracey, formerly Of Wilmington,
but now stationed at Weymouth, Mass., who ID .
member Of the Boston meeting aud WAS present
the day Bishop Haven il said to have re-nomi-
mated President Grant, has been interviewed by
= reporter of the Phiiadelphia Inquirer.
Mr.. Gracey says the address Of Bishop Haven
was not cut and dried for the occasion. 1t WAS
informal and made in response to cal! from
the meeting, late in its session. Aa the Bishop
had recently returned from tour Of the South
ern States, = request was presented thAt ne
would speak concerning the interests OF our
church In tile South, In his response, wlich
was very free, - it WAS expected it it should be
when he was supposed to be addressing his old
friends and associates in the ministry, lie Allud.
ed to the spirit Of rebellion still
existing in sections Of the South, to the loyalty
OF the oolorsd people and the duty Of the church
10 stand by this still oppressed class. he re,
ferred to the duty Of the church to educate and
UhristiAnze this people until they were brought
into such condition that they could care fol
themselves. To insure them their full privilege
and rights ~ citizens, he thought General Gran,
Was doing more for them than any other powel
in the country could. That the old spirit
was held in check more by hit
military hand than by any other influence in the
nation. Az he regarded Gi ant ~ necessity te
the work of reconstruction, he hoped all Metho-
dist preachers present would pray for his renom
inatiOn and reelection. This il the substance
OF the address and the "head and front Of hii
Offending" 1t was simply an on hand speech u
friends.
Mr.. Gracey further says the character o.
Bishop Haven's remarks have not been fairly
represented, while Of the applause he says 1t va.
only such NJ 10 usual when stranger has cease
speaking. When the vote OF thanks was p.o
posed he said that Rev. Or. Wooo1run, former
" OF New York city, but now Of Fall River, sait
plainly he thought nobody could misunderstant
tho vote Of approval; that it was simply tn
not mean anything in any political sense. Wit
that very positive explanation the meetinl
adopted the motion by unanimous rising vote
Mr.. 0racey thinks it absurd to rdicule Biaho

ment among the Boston preachers touching tn
denomination OF President Grant which wonl
have prohibited such thing.
