The Union Theological Seminary directors vote nineteen to one to sever the compact of 1870 with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church. The move ends direct church control and makes the seminary independent again, signaling potential schism. Wealthy lay members back Brigg’s views as they stand with him. The article also notes political alignments around Cleveland, Stevenson, Harrison, and a Democratic Veterans league in Minnesota. Digest promotions for DeWitts Little Early Risers pills are included.
