The Change that knowledge
Brings.
WHAT some RELIGIOUS PAPERS NOW THINK
OF THEIR LATE CANDIDATE.

From the New York Independent.
| There are those among our readers (and
doubtless most Of them are honest voters
| who now believe and boldly afirm-withoul
particle OF evidence, however-that Grover
Cleveland, the democratic candidate fol
President, outstanding bis past bad char
acter. involving a confession of licentiOus-
ness and absolute Or lof of intemperance, is
now a repentanr, reformed man, and worthy
kOf ali confidence. In the absence of sin
gle scintilla of evidence on this subject The
independent has no faith and places no reii
ance whatever in the truth or reality of any
such condition of things with reference to
Grover Cleveland In the interests of sixty
millions OF people we demand evidence on
this subject, if it exists.
Silence sometimes is golden; but silence
now, anywhere in regard to the morality or
immortality Of Grover Cleveland is high
treason TO the honor, purity and integrity of
the Nation Now is the time of all others to
tell the truth and shame the devil. If there
is man on earth who is authorized to speak
in regard to the morality of Grover Cleveland,
let him now make haste and come to the
front to tell the truth If there is a mortal
in existence who can show by evidence
which would be received in any petty court
debauchee Grover Cleveland, has repented
and reformed, and that during his official
career as Mayor of Buffalo and Governor of
New York. has lived a pure and temperate
life. let that man how come forth snd tell the
truth.
II this evidence is not forthcoming-evi-
dence which does not consist of a mere opin-
ion, and political opinion at that-then let
every reader of the IndeDendent who is a
clergyman, tell the truth as found in the
Bible in regard to the Seventh Commandment,
next Sabbath. to his people. as the last pub
lie opportunity he will have, probably. before
election. Let him speak and tell the truth, a.
bccometh bold defender of the household
against the disgusting and disgraceful immor-
aities of Grover Cleveland Let every
protesting Christian, no matter what his
politics are, sustain the preacher in this
timely and faithful work. and not ask him
to shut his mouth, like dumb dog,
on politics in the pulpit. Let every
member Of every family in the land, profess
ing Christianity or not, who believes in the
purity of home, IN the honor and standing of
the Nation at home and abroad, in sound
morality everywhere. as the basis of all true
greatness and prosperity, speak out now
when the issue for once is squarely presented
and tell the truth rs to what il the duty of
every voter at the coming election.
Now is the time to act. II the Lord is the
God of purity. serve him at this important
Juncture during the present battle when every
man should take the field; if Baal, the patron
of RIGHTEOUSNESS and all unrighteousness. is
God, then serve him and vote for all his mon
strous aud disgracefu teaching and immoral
ity.

The opposition organs charge Mr..
Blaine, with being responsible for the pub
LEGATION of the truth about Cleveland's
immoralities, but they lie and know they
lie. The Developments concerning
Cleveland's shockingly bad character were
first made by 8 man who is now a candi-
date on the democratic electoral ticket,
the Hon. William Purcell of New York
State. He denounced Cleveland in the
paper which he controlled, as a moral
leper." and gave facts to prove that the
epithet was deserved.

Organizing Victory.

NEW York, July 24.-The unanimous
reelection of Mr.. w. II. Barnum as
chairman of tho National Democratic
committee to-day causes some surprise,
as fault had been found with his man.
agement of previous campaigns and there
had been indications of serious opposi-
ton. Mr.. Barnum did not seek a re-
election, and in fact was far from anxious
to undertake the iabors Of another can
vass. No opposing candidate presented
himself, however, and it was freely said
that Mr.. Barnum would be entirely &C.
ceptable to Governor Cleveland aud was
desired BY Ex-Governor Tilden. This
was emphasized by the fact that to-day
Hubert 0. Thompson, the head of the
County Democracy, WHO is on confiden-
tial terms with the Governor, nominated
Mr. Barnum. Under such circumstan.
ces there was no desire 20 antagonize the
choice Of the leading friends of the Pres.
idential candidate or to begin the cam.
paigu With an annoying contest. Mr..
Barnum has long experience in political
management, is an untiring worker, q
liberal contributor and has the implicit
confidence of Governor Tilden and his
intimates. Besides this he has proved
himself to be an admirable financier.
When the whole truth shall lie known it
will be seen that Mr.. Barnum has not
received from the Democratic party the
praise he deserves. In the last campaign
he was oyertasked aud had difficulties
from which he will now be free. The
organization Of the National committee
will be perfected, and the chairman will
have thoroughly competent advisory
committee. The Congressional commit
tee is In entire accord with the National
committee, and the two bodies will di.
vide the work between them without that
friction aud waste which cost SO dearly
four ycars ago. The Democracy have no
cause to regret Mr. Barnum's re- election,
aud have the assurance that the canvass
will be conducted with energy, system
