Risbop HUNTINGTON for Cleveland.

Northampton letter to Springfield Republican,
Among the prominent men Of the c0un-
try who spend their summers in the delight
iul old country OF Hampshire Is Bishop
Huntington, OF Syracuse, n. Y, who
resides for the summer in an old
fashioned farmhouse somewhat modern
lied. in the quaint and historical old town OF
Hadley. Your reporter had very pleasant
chat the other day with this well-known
tbeolOgian on the political aspects OF the day.
While the Bishops tastes and work do not
lead him into politics, yet he i Il keen OBJ
server Of what is going on III the political
world, and bis deductions are made after
mature reflection and careful investigation.
A. TO his own position the Bishop said
d" L class myself with the Independents. for
| am in the habit OF voting according 10 the
character of the men placed in nomna-
tion." In reply TO query as to his opinion
OF Mr. Blaine he said: "Well. | have no
desire to publish my opinions to the world,
nor do care to hold them back. / have
never been in favor OF Blaine, whom re-
cognize a. trafficker in official inilu-
ence, and | am very much paiaed 10 see
so many Of my New England friends yield
ing UP the high standard OF morals so re-
quisite to the presidential candidate in the
past. Nothing has been said in this misera-
able attempt which can bring him into the
society OF the pure statesmen OF the past.
Ii would. indeed, be depIorable il the young
men OF this nation should be informed by
his election that the people OF the
United States condone the offences proved
against James @. Blaine. The moral effect
would be very depressing should they be
told by his election that they can lie, de-
fraud, become demagogues, bribe-givers
and takers, and still not forfeit the public
confidence. IL IL humiliating spectacle
to see so many men like Hoar, Dawes. and
others twisting his dishonored record IN
such a way as to become deliberate At.
tempt 10 make his conduct reputable. To
me the action Of those who sncer at the
attempt to purify the political atmosphere
Is contemplate"
As the Bishop spends most Of his time In
Central New York, his opinion OF Cleveland
has weight. In answer to bis views o,
Cleveland he remarked: "His public life
has been trustworthy, upright, and manly.
He is a man of honor, and there Is mitch in
his public career to admire" Touching
upon the scandal concerning Governor
Cleyeland's private life, Bishop Hunting.

candidate for Congress from this district.
Colonel Hubbard Is an exceedingly
high-toned gentleman, and uses very
refined language while speaking, but there
Il much that is dolorous in what be says
aud his manner, and from last nights speci-
men he would suit much better to deliver
the funeral oratiou at the death OK his
hopes on the 4ih OF November than to fire
the hearts of his dispiritcd followers In
this district
He was followed by Colonel :. Brown

quite manfully, and was rewarded by sew
eral regulation yCilS Of the machine order.
Mr.. Bob Ward read some resolutions at
The close OF Colonel Aliens speech, but
what they were did not seem to enter the

Marrow Escape from starvation.

A Euiaula (Ala.) telegram to the New

starvation, In the person OF Aunt" Mandy
Ingram, a colored woman about eighty.nve
years old, was discovered here yesterday.
She stated that she had been confined TO her
bed for four months, and that for several
days and nights In succession she had Deeh
left alone and entirely deserted by people
OF her color. The exposure OF the case TO-
day has brought an indignant denial IRON
the members OF the colored Baptst
church. who say that the church
has been taking care OF her ana
that all reports to the contrary are untrue.
This denial does not hold good. because
aside from the story Of the woman herse'I,
the Times's correspondent visited her on
two occasious when not soul was arouna;
and he had TO serve her with iood anu
drink himself. The case has excited tue
greatest interest, resulting In lhe iuilne'
