Mr. Miner is an ardent. intense, uncom-
promising Democrat, q worshipper OF
David B. Hill, and grand sachem in the
Tammany tents. He has been more than
once mentioned as possible candidate for
Congress and it is not at all improbable
that he will grace one of the New York
seats after the next election. MIR. Miner
says Hill is the idol of the masses In New

Mr.. Patrick Saarsfeld Gilmore has just
heard Of the trouble over the tabernacle
though it has reached him in rather con-
fused form-and he anxiously writes
Manager Burton as fellows:
~ trust there is o truth in the report that
the authorities at Washington will levy
tax on your great tabernacle ii 1t Is used
! for concerts even of your own Choral So
ciety, with the accompaniment say OF my
/ band
1--WE have played in churches of most all
denominations throughout the country In
years gone by, w then the opera houses were
otherwise engaged, and there has never
been any question about taxing the churches
on that account. Therefore, If there is any
truth in the rumor regarding the taber-
nacle, we must use all influence to have it
set aside, at least until our great festival
next fall is over. If necessary, L Will go
personally to Washington and pull some in
! fluential wires to have special permission
granted US on the ground that our arrange
ments for the festival were made before
the tax question came up. However, will
say nothing whatever about 1t until l hear
from you just how the matter stands. Our
band Of one hundred musicians will be the
grandest organization of its kind ever heard
upon this earth, and what magnificent
effect it will have in your wonderful taber-
nacle, with thousand voices in the chorus.
The effect will be nothing less than SUD
lime. BY the way, hope that Mr.. Evan
Stephens is progressing with the chorus,
and viii surely have it thousand strong.
AS soon as | hear from you, If all is favor

lists that / almost lose sight Of the money
questionable great expense Of the whole
undertaking, but have faith that HEAVIER
will take care of US, and that the whole
undertaking will be triumph from frs

and to all friends. If you ever come tt
New York I will be most happy to see you
Most sincerely yours, P. S. GILMORE"
