paper. Mr.. Richardson's ability
has come to be widely known and recognized, ami
his iscourtesy and candOr are acknowledged even by

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 ant defends them with q
zeal that betokens sincerity, but scorns descend

contrast with that OF the Press, published in the
