IFrom the Augusta Standard, Sept 20, 1867
The Portland Evening Star is conducted with
far more manliness, dignity and honesty, than any
other Republican paper in the State. 1t presents its
views with marked ability and defends them with
zeal that betokens sincerity but scorns 10 descend

contrast with that of the Press, published in the
same city.

devoted student, and will be an acquisition to the
editorial corps OF Maine.
