What President Cheney of Bates College
HAS TO Say About Him.

what president Cheney of Bates College
Has 20 Say About Him.
OF the Rev. DR.. Ball, whom the Democratic
press are now characterizing as liar, drunk
ard and political hummer because he dared to
tell the truth about Gov. Cleveland, President
Cheney of Bates College thus speaks in let
ter to friend who asked him concerning Mr.
Balls character. We suppose after reading it
the Argus will proceed to denounce President
Cheney as a fraud;
LEWISTON, Me-, Aug. 6, 1884.
Dear Notwithstanding home I find your
letter of the 1st inst. You ask me substantial
ly two questions: 1 Will you give me over
George Ball, DID,, as a Christian gentleman
and brother? 2 What is his standing among
you as a religious body?
You should understand that have been in
timately acquainted with DR.. Ball for nearly
forty years. We first met as students in our
eastern Gree Baptist) Theological Seminary.
This school is now a department in this COL
leee. At the time l speak of it was located
at Whitestown, n. Y. Though widely sep
arated in our offices of work, we have been
often together, and we have often exchanged
letters
On the basis, then, OF this long and close re-
lation I will answer your first question by say
ing that esteem no man higher as a Christian
SoubIcLudu anu DrOtu0E tuau II. Dali. WlaJ
he tells one he knows to be true must be taken
as truth, or there is no truth among men. 1t is
not to be thought or that he would knowingly
wrong any man.
He is man OF excellent ability. of much
learning, and of kind heart. He is con-
scientious to a fault, If such thing be pos
sible, and he has the courage Of his convic-
tons.
On the same basis will answer your second
question by saying that DR.. Balls standing in
the Free Baptist denomination is sach as a
man of his high Christian character must
necessarily possess. He is known and loved in
all the churches. This college gave him his
high degree by unanimous vote of its trus-
tees. will only add that Garfield was his
pupil for a time at Chester, Ohio, Academy
an academy once of our UNCONVENTIONAL
schools. How dearly the great and dead
President loved him, there are many that
know. Very truly,

BOSTON, Aug. 15.-The Boston Commercial But
letin of tomorrow will contain series of commun-
ications from leading distinguished gentlemen in
answer to the following question: Considering
the tariff planks of the Republican and Democratic
platforms, is the tariff likely to become leading is
sue In the PRESIDENTIAL campaign? In answer TO
this question which was asked from a, commercial
tariff campaign upon the business interests of the
country. Representative Kasson writes: t'My an
swer must be- yes it is inevitable unless both politi
cal parties are hypocrites.'
Senator Hoar writes: "That Mr.. Blaines letter
seems 10 answer the question well'
Carl Schurz says: In my opinion the tariff cues
ton will not be leading ISSUE but it will soon be
overshadowed by the question of honest government
and civil sevice REFORM
Chairman Jones of the Republican National Com
mttee writes Il do not how it is possible even
II 1t were desirable, to avoid making the tariff the
leading issue in the coming campaign"
Speaker Carlisle says lin mp opinion the reduc-
ton OF tariff taxation will be very prominent and
perhaps leading question In the approaching cam
paign. The platforms of both parties recognize il
as an issue of great Importance and the letter of
MI Blaine makes its discussion an absolute necessi-
ty unless IL revenue reform Democracy propose to
abandon this position and surrendender the field to
advocates of high taxes and wasteful expendi-
tures.'
Charles A. Dana, of the Sun, says in his answer:
I'VE are sorry to say it looks very much if the tar
part in the election. "Tis true, tbs pity and pity
tis tbs true"
George William Curtis writes: "The tariff will
undoubtedly be discussed during the campaign, but
the Democratic platform does not raise direct is
sue with the Republicans and the election / think
will turn upon other questions"
The Bulletin says editorally that the tariff cues
ton should not and cannot be shirked.

found an Ocean House key which was imme-
diately brought to the hotel and it was found
that it belonged to the room occupied by Mr..
Jack OF Toronto. Mr.. Merrill at once went
