The Portland Press evinces commendable ener-

The Portland Evening Star is conducted with
far more manliness, dignity ard 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

opponents. IFS course in this respect is in marked
contrast with that OF the Press, published in the
same city.

pondents in the principal cities in the State, in ad
dition its special dispatches and regular CORES
