Moore and Hamilton Chosen Methodist Bishops in 1900
The Rev. D. H. Moore and the Rev. J. W. Hamilton were elected bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church in Chicago. Moore won with 534 votes, Hamilton 510, after a long, heated race marked by accusations of church politics and shifting support from rival candidates. Hamilton, born 1845 in Weston, had built the People’s church in Boston and supported temperance and women’s rights, while Moore’s campaign was highly organized and steady.
