of any democratic sheet in the country
which viii. be supplemented by Tam
many's vote, thus giving the state o
N. y, beyond peradyenturc, to Blain
and Logan, and insuring their election
1t is well.
The religious press, throughout TIN
country, unlike parson Beecher, is no
disposed to condone Cleveland's often
ccs. We append extracts from few
of the many religious journals tha
have spoken upon the subject:
wATcHMAN, (BaptisD.
When public man is charged in the
public press, by known and responsible
parties, with fragrant immortality, it is
not an unworthy condescension for
him to vindicate his character if posi-
Bile. The publication of SANDER is a
criminal libel, and those guilty Of it
can be made to expiate their offence by
fine aud imprisonment. The Prince of
Wales did not feel above appearing in
court and testifying in his own vindi-
cation and in vindication of one whose
name had been linked with his in SLAM
der. 1t is very plain that somebody de-
serves exemplary condemnation, and,
as the town clerk of Ephesus said, "the
law is open and there are proconsuls;
let them implead one another
CATHOLIC INSTITUTE JOURNAL, AMsTER-
DAM, N. Y.
No man with Cleveland's bad record
in private life can hope for election at
the hands of the American people.
The religious and moral elements in
our life are too powerful to admit of
such result. The chief reason that
Aaron Bnrr's memory is held in execra-
ton is the memory of his lecherous
life. Our children are taught to hate
the memory of the man who invaded
that happy home OH the Ohio River to
seek victim for his lust. The people
cannot be brought to favor any candi-
date for public honors wqose licentious
habits preclude the possibility of his
representing the best estate of Ameri-
can manhood in the Presidential chair.
The American people
will not take kindly to another Burr.
The only chance of success for the De-
mocracy in the coming election lies in
the withdrawal of Cleveland and the
substitution of a statesman with clean
heart and clean hands.
zIoN's HERALD, (MethodisD.
The Springfield Republican de-
nounces very severely the public press
for referring to the shocking statements
made in Buffalo paper in reference to
the personal immoralities of the Dem
ocratic candidate for President. The
also atfirms that there is NOT
an intelligent citizen of Buffalo who
gives any serious consideration to the
statement. Here, however, is what
one of the most respected clergymen
of that city writes to us:
"The Cleveland scandal You may be-
lieve without one jot or title of abate-
ment. don't think there is an intelli-
gent citizen of Buffalo who knows
Cleveland but believes the story of his
as published by the Tele- c
graph. The religious papers ought to c
ook after him faithfully. As Purcell !
"a leading Democratic edilor of Roch- |
ester, N. r. says, he is 'moral lep- '
r." f

Is there to be no vindication Of Gro c
ver Cleveland from the grave charges Il
o which we referred last week? Is G
here no one of his law partners or l
PERSONAL friends to speak word toward 1
his moral character of the L
dium which now attaches to it? Is .
impossible? We hope not, c
nd yet continued silence under such u
n arraignment will certainly be con- u
trucd as concession of guilt. Let U
ONE one speak on his behalf, there .
