Mr.. Blaine at Home.
How He Is REGARDED BY HIS NEIGHBol

New York Tribune.
]. H. Small. of Brooklyn, was at first in
clined to support Governor Cleveland in thi;
campaign, but the views of the candidate ex-
pressed by his neighbors in Buffalo deferred
him from so doing. Before announcing hi:
support of Mr.. Blaine he determined to as
certain how he WAS regarded in Augusta. He
therefore wrote to the president of the Young
Mems Christian Association of that city, and
has received the following reply

The Charge Against Cleveland
THE SoLEMN DUrY OF EACH VOTER IN rRE
OPINION OF RELIGIOUS PAPER

The New York Independent of this week.
after reversing at length the current charges
against the personal life of Governor Cleve-
land, says:
The democratic papers, in resorting to
various forms of apologize casuistry for the
offence, not only concede the substantial
truth of the main charge. but also the neces-
sity of making an apology for it, in order to
break, 40 far as possible, its force as an
objection to the candidacy of Governor
Cleveland. We, then assume rs q fact, sd-
mitted and known to the people, that. some
ten years ago, Mr.. Cleveland, when he was
about 40 years of age, was guilty OF an
offence imputed to him. and that he Is the
reputed father of bastard son now living in
Buffalo, and who, to the day Of his death,
will be stamped and Inundated with the dis
grace of illegitimacy.
The question then, is not whether God or
man will or should forgive MIR. Cleveland
upon his sincere repentance for this sin.
but whether with private character stained
with this disgusting infsmy, he shonld, by
the deliberate voice and act of the people. be
made the chief magistrate of this great nation.
That is the question which every voter mast
face. If the facts were not known, or if
there were grounds for reasonable doubt
about them, the case would be entirely
different. The facts however, are known.
There is no pretense of any denial or refuta-
ton of the chief facts in the case, and if the
people in the United States who are in favor
of sound morality. follow our advice, they
certainly will not bestow the hOnors of the
presidency upon Governor Cleveland. His
election would argue low state of morals
among the people, and be burning shame
and never-to be-forgotten disgrace to the
nation. No man with such private chsrac-
ter as is shown in respect to him is fit to fill
any Office in the gift of the people.

The Vote of Name.

The republicans of Maine will increase
their majority this year, but they have
made no such extravagant claims as the
opposition assert they have made. If we
take the vote at the last half dozen cleo
tons for Governor and examine it, the fig
ures will show that the opposition carried
the State at three of those elections. and
that it was only at the last election that
the republicans carried the State since
1875 and then by less than 1000 majority.
The following figures show the result at
the last six elections for Governor:

The Eustis Party.
No SINCERE TEMPERANCE VOTER SHOULD
WASTE HIS VOTE.

Possibly there may be very few per-
sons in the State who have nearly decided
to vote next Monday tor w. T. Eustis for
Governor. How little worthy this man is
to receive single ballot because of Tenn
perance, or for any other good reason, is
plainly evinced by the following which we
clip from the Pittsburg Evening Press, OF
July "a:
"Mr. w. T. Eustis, of Maine, then arose
to nominate Gideon 7. Stewart. The old
parties do not realize the changes that are
taking place, said he. He spoke of Neal
DoW as a poor innocent old man, who has
gone back to his idols and ought to be let
alone. Maine desires to redeem herself
She can find no candidate more fitting her
desires than Gideon T. Stewart of Ohio"
This w. I. Eustis turned up at the con-
vention which nominated St. John, and
the above offensive and depreciating Ian
guage he saw fit to use in respect to Neal
Dow, who has devoted large portion of
his long and vigorous life to the temper
ance cause. This Eustis. without weight
in the community, whose services have
never been worth a straw to the temper
ance cause, has the egotistic impotence to
disparage the present standing and posi-
ton of the venerable man whose temper
ance labors and eloquence have long been
appreciated on both sides of the Atlantic.

The MANLY UTTERANCE OF AN HONEST
STATESMAN.

From Senator Sherman's speech at Ash
land, Ohio, Saturday, August 80.
Our candidate for President is a man of
the most brilliant qualities, who has been
several times Speaker of the House of
Representatives, once Senator, and Secre-
tary of State, and has been conspicuous in
every position oct uped by him. | have
known him during all the years of his public
service. and believe him to be an able and
honest and true republican, faithful to the
principles of our party, with a mind of the
highest order, with experience and executive
capacity to perform with great credit the
high duties of the great Office of Chief
Magistrate of the republic. Such is my
opinion of James G. Blaine. l shall vote for
him as the chosen representative of the
republican party, fairly nominated by public
opinion in the republican States and by
delegates who fairly represented the opinion
of their constituents
