The Portland PRHss 10 a very ably conducted
newspaper; albeit we don't endorse its politics.
1t however rises above the mere partisan and
independently discusses politics, though from a
Republican standpoint. 1t is very bitter on all
political rings, notably the ''Hamlin ring"
which it fiayed numerically during the Sena-
torial canvass. Outside of politics the Press
