in its news columns that of culling the news from

THE PORTLAND PREss-H.W. Richardson. ESQ,
paper Mr.. Richardson's ability
has come to be widely known and recognized. and
hiscourtesy and candor acknowledged even by
his warmest political opponents. Fora short-lived
popularity he Dies not pander to prurent and vi
cious taste; and in his earnest advocacy OF good
cause he does not unnecessarily grieve his friends
nor thouehtlessly exasperate his opponents.
[From the Augusta Standard, Sept. 20, 1871
The Portland Evening Star Is conducted with
far more manliness, dignity and honesty, than any
other Republican paper in the State. 1t presents its
zeal that betokens sincerity but scorns TO descend
to personal abuse, SANDER and vliiicaon political
opponents. Its course in this respect is i'm marked
contrast with that OF the Press, published in the
same city. iad sa ..1rt., ~. ls1-,5'J gsrt
