portrayed upon the Nineteenth car In the

In his travels with the princess OF Moab,
because OF the unruliness Of the ass he rode,

better judment than his master, and that

De y.1g Destroyed al he witches, a-d II
The Portland daily press., 1884-07-28

The impression which the Cleveland or
gans are endeavoring to create that the reli-
gious press is solid for Cleveland is as false
as good many other impressions that are
attempted by the Democratic press. The
Advance of Chicago, the organ of Congrega-
tionalism in the West, and the Church Un-
ion of New York, are both for Blaine. The
former says of Mr.. Blaine's letter that those
who have been ''giving voice to the SLAM
ders' against him will find little comfort in
it. Thoroughly manly, it lodges nothing,
evades nothing, does credit to the heart and
the brain of its distinguished author" II
his exposition of the American policy is jim
goism, sit is kind which is very popular
in this country, and the critics of Mr. Blaine
can make the most of it." The Church
Union reports that the Rev. DIR. Olmstead
of the Boston Watchman, the leading Bap-
tist newspaper of New England, is thor
ough-going Blaine man. "We were
pleased" it says, ''to hear him say that he
would not only vote for him (Mr. Blaine) but
that he prayed for his election" A New
York City pastor writes to the editor of the
Union: "If it shall please God, as think
it will, to elevate Mr.. Blaine to the high of
fee for which he is candidate, I will re-
joice and give thanks" The venerable DIR.
Webb of the Shawmut church, Boston
writes
james G. Blaine would suffer his right hand to
be cut OF before he would trade his religion. He
will never, 1 believe, allow one word to be drawn
from his lips pen in answer to the base calls tha
are made upon him for declaration of faith. He
has too keen a sense of what religion is, and too
sensitive regard for Almighty God and his own
eternal interests, to utter one selfish word on the
subject, though that word might give him the presi
dency.
