If there was ever public man who
needed vindicatiOn from the charge
that he was not as strong as his party,
that man is James G.. Blaine. If there
was ever man who had a good reason
for making a race for office to establish
the fact that n former defeat was an
accident. that man is MIR. Blaine. He
was defeated by small plurality of one
thousand votes and it were reasonable
TO suppose that if he is strong man.
that he could, in 1855, overcome this OF
even much stronger obstacles. But
Mr.. Blaine is no fOol-no flies STAY on

political knowledge. lie is in perfect
health, he has the backing and influence
of the giant corporations, the monied

What better defence could the Christ
ian religion ask? And yet there are
narrow minded preachers and church
people who never give the newspaper
credit for a word i'm defence of good
morals or religion. They endure the
Sunday paper because they expect to
find announcements of their services
and they cOuntenance the secular news
paper editor because they expect free
Advertising at his hands: but rarely
give proper credit to a journal when it
discusses and reveals the false doctrines
and teachings of unbelievers like Inger-
soil.

few preachers in Kansas could even i'm
