The Movement Against DR.. Briggs


1t was quite generally thought by leading
members of the Presbyterian church that
the heresy charge against DR.. Briggs, the
professor in the Union Theological Semi
nary Of New York, had been virtually dis
missed last October by the action of
the New York presbytery at that
time. 1t seems. however, that those
who took this view of the
matter were mistaken. AT the election
Of delegates by the New York presbytery
on Monday to the general assembly, which
meets in Portland, Ore, the fight against
DR.. Briggs was renewed, and for time it
was very lively. The result of the contest
was the election of delegates hostile to DIR.
Briggs. The opinion is now expressed
that without the knowledge of
DR.. Briggs and his friends fight against
and that when the general assembly meets
it will be found to contain a majority of
delegates who are opposed TO him.
The ministers who are Directing to DIR.
Briggs, and who intend that he
shall either acknowledge that his
theological views on the points in contro-
versy are wrong or else get out Of the Press
byterian church, are very much in earnest.
They do not intend, if they can help it, that
the doctrines which have been accepted by
the Presbyserians for 80 many
years shall be disturbed. They
argue that if changes are permitted there
is no telling where they will stop The fact
that these doctrines are neither entirely
satisfactory nor reasonable does not dis.
turb them in the least.
1t looks as if contest had begun in the
Presbyterian church which will not be
ended in the lifetime of many OF those who
are taking part in it.
But whatever may be the outcome Of the
heresy fight it is not probable that DR..
Briggs will lose his place in the Union
Theological Seminary. The authorities OF
the seminary stand by him, and, as long as
they do that, he can hold his professorship
as long as he wants it.

the Pacific coast republicans have not been

think they are entitled to at least one place

There is no installing the meaning of the
demonstration made in Baltimore Wednes-
day night by mass meeting of democratic
citizens from all parts of Maryland The
leading men of the state were present, and
voiced the popular sentiment when they
declared for Grover Cleveland and tariff
reform as the candidate and the issue for
the coming campaign. The meeting was
devoid of seIfishness, or a desire for the
success OF any faction, and expressed only
the will Of the democratic majority In the
words of ex-senator Whyte, they found in
Mr.. Cleveland 1.-THE incarnation of our
political IDEAS" and passed a resolu-
ton declaring: That duty requires
that the state convention be COM
posed OF men who understand
and will under all conditions represent the
wishes of the people, and that the delegates
from this state to the Chicago convention
should be men not only instructed as to the
wishes of their constituents, but whose
character will guarantee fidelity to the
trust reposed in them by the people" 1t
not hard to trace the analogy between this
declaration and Mr.. Cleveland's patriotic
letter from Lakewood to the Memphis
democrats, and the two augur well for re-
turning purity in politics.

lightning like rapidly. Both sides
on the measure were 10th to believe

but they soon received assurances
[ that it was true The anti silver
men were jubilant and freely made
claims that the bill was dead. "This
kills the BILL" said Mr. Harter,

silver Democrats. 1.-THE silver men
cannot get a majority of the Demo
cratic members to sign any petition

A formal request was made to the
committee on rules this morning by
Mr.. Bland, that the committee bring
