THE CHAMPION OF THE DRAMsHoP.
AND MILLER, THE FRIEND OF
MORAL AND PoLITI-
CAL REFORM"
The Tribune has from time to time published
the protest., of the leading cergymen of New
York against the possible election of David b.
Hill, the champion and tool Of the rum power.
Their feelings OF contempt and disgust for him
have been expressed in no uncertain tone. Among
those already on record publicly as opposed to the
principles and policy which Hill represents were
such representative leaders of thought and morals
as Ensign McChcsncy tMethodist, Robert Colyer
Unitarian, Charles II. Eaton lUniversalist, Rob
ert S. Macarthur Baptist. William K. Hunt
ington protestant EpiscopaD, Samuel Il. Virgin
(CongregatonaD, John H. Paxton Presbyterian
and many others of equal reputation and ability.
Those interviews were gathered by Tribune
reporters, and they served to show the deep
feeling among the ministers against the election
OF Hill That feeling is widespread, ana mas
resulted in the issuance of what Is considered
one of the most remarkable documents ever put
forth in the political annals OF the country
The clergymen themselves realizing the luh I'M
nortance of the issues at stake have spontaneously
issued an appeal 10 the cit@chS VI ''O
New-York in which they. as teachers OF puohc
morals. and under q solemn conviction oil du'y'
call upon the people without respect 10 party
to support Warner Miller in the approaching
election Their reasons for taking this remark
able step are given and they are not such as can pe
misunderstood. The appeal Is signed by 2-'
representative clergymen of the various
reli gous denominations. The fresoy'erpla Dan.
