MAKING IT UNPLEASANT FOR HILL.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
sir: without any irrevercnt rant or cant against
the cloth It is plain that The Tribune alone has done
more to parayze that demagOguc, David b. Ill., than
the whole clerical corps Of the country consolidated
But. personally that Democratic patriot my much re-
spected blood kinsman. the Hon. Frank VI. Thorn, OF
Orchard Park, Erie County In his great speech at the
antIi conference Of which The Tribune took season
able and complimentary notice. burned the red-h0t
brand Of reason and rdicuc into the very marrow
81 the bones OF that demon Of darkness. When my
lifelong and intimate friend. the founder of The Trib
une. went to Heaven | greatly feared for the fate
of the taper. and again when the late Minister to
France left the editorial chair for the mission he has
so well served abroad my misglvings were re-
newed But the old journal has kept right on the
track which inspires the trust that It's journalistic mis-
sion may be perpetual. ID. T.. NICHOLSON.

I'm the work OF both correspondents and reporters ;
