REV, MIR. MESERVE FOR BLAINE.

REV. MIR. MI SEEk v E .FOEf BLAINE A Political Sermon in Which tho Is-
 sues Are Set Forth and the Candi.
 dates Compared Greatly to CIeve-
 lands Disadvantage-Blaf Not
 Guilty of the Charges Against Him.
 EtHow Shall We Vote!" was the question discussed by the Rev. I. c. Meserve in his sermon last evening at the Davenport church. Although no names were mentioned, the preacher plainly indicated that 1t was the duty of every Christian man to vote for MT. Blaine, although if there was in this canvass a square fight between prohibition and anti prohibition, he would recommend every man to vote for prohibition.
 s'I shall for convenience take text from 1st Samuel, 23rd chapter and 37th verse, But there came message to Saul, saying; Haste thee and come for the Philistines have invaded the land' There are various bands of Philistines in this country. They are all ways invading every country and have by no means left this one alone. They have been here ever since we began to be a country. They come for their harvests periodically at every election, and in great force at every presidential election. They come with ban ners and shoutings, with pamphlets and trappings, with everything under the sun, decent and indecent, to get the spells.
 'eMy purpose is to speak directly to the point touching the election next Tuesday. livery Christian should be patriot. The Bible teaches patriotism from one cover to the other If man is a Christian and a patriot he will exercise his privilege as voter in such way as to advance the cause of Christ I can conceive of occasions when 1t would be best not to go to the polls.
 feThere are many issues in this campaign One is civil service reform. Another is pro lection or free trade. With these have nothing to do tonight. Sectionalism is an issue also. We have the solid South against the North The South had grievance after the war The blacks were in a preponderanee numerically, though not in fitness to rule Having been given the right of suffrage, they elected their own officials, and they mismanaged things horribly. It was ktre- mendous grievance. But the shotgun and the tissue paper ballot were not the proper

means for righting the grievance. And just so long as the South is solid, so long must the North be solid to do it's utmost to break up the solid South not by political methods, but by a threefold invasion in which the flag must be taken down there and made to float over every inch of soil with the same meaning it has here and the spelling book and the Bible also made to do their work.
 Prohibition is just now unfortunately @ side issue We talk great deal about our wonderful growth and prosperity, but it is a fact that the increase of the sale of intoxicat ing liquors has been in ratio of s to with the increase of population. There are two hundred thousand hopeless drunkards in this country and ten times as many pressing for ward to fill the ranks. We must throttle it as we did slavery If there were straight issue between prohibition and nti-prohibi- tion no Christian could look his conscience in the face if he didn't vote for prohibition. The prohibitionists went before the convention of the party that has made them many promises but done little, and the other that never did anything at all but got satisfaction from either. If you vote on the side issue you vote for that party which never did anything for prohibition.
 'FOther things being equal the men of most experience and trained in public life should be elected. Otther things being equal, the man who stands in the best company, whose surroundings we can most trust, should be elected. Another axiom is that the man who is incorrupt and clean should be chosen But both men are charged, one with being liar, thief and coward, and the other with being un- ehaste and drunkard. Personal friends of the former who know him well tell me that to the best of their knowledge and belief the charges against him are not true. Three Senators from the South belonging the op- position say he is not guilty. Judges of the Supreme court say that he is not guilty. The charges of gross immortality against one can didate have been said to be true by thirteen ministers of the gospel in the city where he lived. Partisans say they lie. Well, per haps they do, but would take their word in preference to the word of Partisans. The in ference is plain as to what candidate right minded man should vote for''

CREEPING FROM THE CLERGY.

 An Address Presented to MT Blaine
 in This City on Saturday-Many Hon.
 ored Names-The Pledge of Loyalty
 to the Republican Party.
 The following address was presented to MT. Blaine during his visit here on Saturday through Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth:
 In this city, in which few good men have been misled into hostile camp where they do not either in principle or heart belong, it gives me great pleasure to present to you, in behalf of many of our clergy, among whom the name of our most honored citizen, Presi- dent Woolsey, leads all the rest, this pledge of our continued loyalty to that party which we still believe is more of purpose, and of the people. While as the standard bearer of the Republican party you can know no church or sect, but represent alike the loyalty of Hebrew, Catholic and Protestant, we wish, as clefgymen who would meet the full responsibilities of our citizen ship, to bring to you our personal support, and to record in the most public manner our conviction that the interests of the whole country require that the administration of the government should still be kept in the hands of those men who saved the Union and emancipated the slaves. We believe that the return of the Democratic party, under the reign of MT. Cleveland would neither prove a reform of the civil ser vice, nor moral gain to the country. And YOU will allow me to add that some of us clergymen who were once soldiers can never be even tempted to vote to put within one life of the presidency man who during the war. as Mr. Curtis informs us, once left the church while it's minister was preaching a loyal sermon in support of Abra- ham Lincoln and the government. For the sake of those ideas which we believe should rule this country we wish you triumph next Tuesday.

General nraru,n Aeeants.

To my fellow citizens: Returning from the West after few days absence, much to my surprise aud regret, find myself nominated for representative. My first act was to send to the chairman of the town committee let ter of declination, giving all the time in my my power for reeonvening the convention Saturday evening, that another might be placed in nomination. As this has not been done it leaves me in most embarrassing position. The only alternative for me is to suffer the embarrassment or trans fer it to the party and those friends who thought to compliment me.
 I am fully aware that man owes something
 to his fellow man and this is one of the ways
 marked out for me to make personal sacri- flee. Considering the short interval between now and election, and knowing from my own position that it would be even more embar- rassing to one nominated later, with great reluctance withdraw the letter of declina- tion and accept the situation, and if elected 1 will endeavor to represent the interests oi New Haven. Trusting no true friend will censure me for this action, which I regret ] more than they possibly can, I remain,

Political UnpIeasantness.

Saturday afternoon for the purpose of de- corating F. H. Waldron, at 105 Howe street, obtained permission from superin- tendent of parks to run a set of halyards across the street About three quarters of an hour before the parade reached Howe street the arch of lighted lanterns was run across the street. MT. Edward M. Coe, iv ing opposite, just as the Tally-ho coach reached the place, aseended the tree and cut the ropes, which let all the decorations fall to the ground and were trampled under the horses feet MT. Waldron immediately cross ed the street to find why this man did the act and was informed by MT. Coe that he did not wish any decoration in front of his house that night. A little later MT. Waldron com menced to fire his candles, when, it is said, MT. Coe rushed across the street in a Threatening manner to MT. Waldron, who ordered him off, and as he still advanced he received one of the balls from the candle on the side of his face. The crowd rushed in and MT. Coe was forced back. The police were telephoned for and MT. Coe was ar rested
