To the Edttor Of the Tribune.
SIR Permit me, Of the delegates TO the meet
ing Of the NewYork and Brooklyn Association OF
Congregational Churches which met In Brooklyn yes
terday, to explain misapprehenson regarding In
cdent which occurred at that meeting.
The published report states that the remarks OF MI
f. W. Hinrichs the subject Of protection, " were
Kissed from all parts of the room" The real fact was
that, when ministers appauded so long and
vehemently that Mr. Hlnrichs could not proceed with
his address, a number Of gentlemen, who wished to
have him go on without interruption cried out HUSH,
repeatedly and. as every knows, prolonged
fush7 sufficiently resembles hiss TO give rise to
posstble misapprehension But as this effort 20
Strain applause Joined In by thorough going Free
Traders, like myself, there be no doubt whatever
in this instance that Il was not intended In the slight
est degree express dsapproval of anything which
Mr. Hinrichs had said. Very likely It was Joined In
by Protectlonsts ofwhom there several present
bnt was by confined 10 them and Indie ated
nothing more than a desire to listen to what Mr. Hin
rchs had TO say without interruption.
